Ensuring your kitchen is stocked with high-quality, durable materials—from dough prep tools to ovens—helps streamline operations, reduce waste, and maintain the signature flavors your customers expect. Investing in the right resources now can lead to long-term savings and customer loyalty.
“One essential tool for pizzeria operators is MFG Tray dough boxes,” says Matt Morian, food service sales line manager at MFG Tray. MFG Tray’s dough boxes continue to be the industry standard in proofing and storage in pizza kitchens.
MFG Tray dough boxes are designed to handle all situations faced by pizzeria operators. “Our standard formulation is rated for temperatures from -60–250°F,” Morian says. “This range is ideal for pizza operators as the trays can withstand warm kitchen environments. Whether your dough boxes are near ovens or freshly pulled from coolers, the fiberglass provides natural insulation to maintain consistent dough temperatures.” Our dough boxes are fitted with snap-on lids, making them ideal for dough protection, storing, proofing, and cooling.
Designed for durability, these boxes can withstand the high demands of busy kitchens. “Unlike plastic trays and containers, MFG Tray composite material is dimensionally stable and will not bend or sag under loads. Superior longevity and easy maintenance make them the most cost-effective investment”, Morian says.
MFG Tray dough boxes are available in many sizes and colors. Designed for seamless, interchangeable stacking, you can place a 6-inch box at the bottom, stack 3-inch boxes on top, and use just a single lid to cover the top box, maximizing efficiency and storage. MFG has recently introduced a half-sized dough box (13x18x3 inches), ideal for smaller spaces like residential fridges, food trucks, or pop-ups.
MFG Tray has earned overwhelmingly positive feedback from our customers. “At trade shows customers tell us how much they love our trays,” Morian says. “Food truck operators particularly appreciate the smaller half-sized dough boxes. One other unique response we hear often is how long trays last. Some customers call us after 25-30 years to get a replacement or confirm the model number. It’s a real testament to the longevity of our products.”
Durability and longevity are where MFG Trays truly stand out, as well as their fitted snap-on lids. These trays maintain their structural integrity—even after decades of use. “We encourage operators to try our trays firsthand—we are confident that you will love the quality and performance,” Morian says. “We’re always excited to connect with operators at events like the Pizza Expo and Pizza Summit. We love hearing their stories and praises. MFG Tray gladly ships our potential customers samples to let them experience our great dough boxes.”
MFG Tray not only offers dough boxes to the food-service industry but also proofing boards, pan extenders, cafeteria trays, display trays, and prep & storage containers. Many of our products come in multiple sizes with many colors to choose from to fit your needs.
