Gi.Metal
Gi.Metal is a leading Italian manufacturer of pizza shovels and pizza tools, with a history that began in 1986 in a small workshop in the heart of Tuscany. Founded by Marco D'Annibale, the company has grown to become a worldwide reference in the pizza industry. Gi.Metal's mission is to work closely with professional and amateur pizza makers, understand their needs and develop solutions that make their daily work easier and better.
INNOVATIVE MATERIALS AND STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY
Gi.Metal pizza shovels are mainly made of anodised aluminium, a light, strong and hygienic material. There are various aluminium treatments, such as neutral, hard and gold anodising (G.H.A.), which increase wear and abrasion resistance and improve smoothness and hygiene. One example is the perforated aluminium blade with G.H.A. (Golden Hard Anodising) treatment, which offers corrosion, scratch and impact resistance, as well as anti-bacterial and anti-mould capacity.
Gi.Metal pizza shovels are available in different shapes (rectangular, round or pizza by the metre) and in various sizes to suit different types of oven. The heads of Gi.Metal pizza shovels are often perforated to reduce friction, allow excess flour to be removed and improve the smoothness of the pizza: the holes are designed to discharge the flour in two directions, ensuring an optimal result. The handles of Gi.Metal pizza shovels, available in materials such as anodised aluminium, wood and carbon fibre, are designed to be lightweight and durable, with sliding handles made of high-density polymer that are impact and heat resistant.
DOMESTIC PIZZA SHOVEL AND PROFESSIONAL PIZZA SHOVEL: ARE THEY THE SAME?
Gi.Metal pizza shovels are available for both professional and domestic use. Gi.Metal pizza shovels for domestic use are designed to be light, handy and suitable for home ovens, while those for professional use are built to withstand heavy use, with materials and designs that guarantee high performance and durability.
- Shovels for domestic use. Domestic pizza shovels are often made of anodised aluminium for ease of cleaning. Gi.Metal household shovels tend to have more compact dimensions, ideal for home ovens: they are designed to be light and manageable, facilitating use in tight spaces and optimising household space.
- Pizza shovels for professional use. For professional pizza shovels, Gi Metal uses anodised aluminium with special treatments (e.g. G.H.A. - Golden Hard Anodizing) and stainless steel: two materials that offer greater resistance to wear, corrosion and impact. Professional shovels are available in a wide range of sizes and shapes to suit different types of ovens and requirements. Gi Metal professional pizza shovels are designed to be extremely strong and durable, with reinforced joints and in-line rivets to ensure stability and safety while working. Professional pizza shovels are designed for intensive and frequent use, offering high performance and reliability even under the most demanding conditions.
Whether you are a professional pizza maker or a home-made pizza enthusiast, Gi.Metal offers a wide range of models to suit every need: from compact pizza shovels for home ovens to large pizza shovels by the metre, each product is made with craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Don't settle, choose Gi.Metal pizza shovels and enjoy the experience of working with professional tools designed to make pizza preparation a real pleasure.
