Pizzeria supplies in Switzerland: from Caputo Pizzeria Blue flour to boxes

Stocking a pizzeria in Switzerland starts with a 25 kg bag of Caputo Pizzeria Blue (Sacco Blu) or a Swiss-milled Type 00 flour. Around it sit four more fixed items: fiordilatte julienne, peeled tomatoes in catering tins, extra virgin olive oil in 5 litre bottles and takeaway boxes.

This checklist gives you a real product for each item, its catering format, how to store it and how delivery works across Switzerland. If you are still planning the business, start with our guide to opening a pizzeria in Switzerland and come back to this list.

What ingredients and supplies does a pizzeria buy from a wholesaler?

The five basics never change: Type 00 flour in 25 kg bags, ready-cut fiordilatte julienne, peeled tomatoes in 2.5 kg tins, extra virgin olive oil in large bottles and takeaway boxes. Then come cured meats, vegetables, frozen items, detergents and packaging, which vary from menu to menu.

Buying everything from one wholesaler means one delivery with fresh, frozen and dry goods together and one contact for more than 3,000 products. These same items also drive your margin: our breakdown of pizza food cost for a Margherita shows how much each ingredient really costs you.

Which products and formats belong on a pizzeria shopping list?

The table pairs each item on the list with a concrete product: the format it arrives in, what it is used for and how to store it according to the producer's data sheet.

Quantities depend on how many pizzas leave your oven, so no list fits everyone. The practical rule is to split the flows: order fresh products often and in small amounts so they keep rotating, and keep flour, tomatoes, oil and boxes in stock.

Which flour for pizza: Caputo Pizzeria Blue or Verace Napule?

Both are Type 00 flours in 25 kg bags made for Neapolitan-style pizza. Caputo Pizzeria Blue comes from Naples and is designed for 6-24 hours of proving at room temperature with 60-65% water; Verace Napule is milled in Switzerland and handles 12-48 hours at 60-70%. For other Caputo flours, see our Caputo Nuvola vs Cuoco comparison on the blog.

• Caputo Pizzeria Blue (Sacco Blu): Type 00, W 260-280, ash below 0.55%, built for wood-fired ovens.
• Verace Napule by Meyerhans Mühlen: Type 00 milled in Weinfelden (TG), direct method or cold fermentation.
• Same-day proving at room temperature: Caputo Pizzeria Blue; long maturation in the fridge: Verace Napule.
• Before switching flour, run a test with your own oven, your water and your recipe.

Which fiordilatte should a pizzeria buy?

For pizza, ready-cut julienne in 2.5 kg trays saves time. We stock two fiordilatte from Latticini Molisani Tamburro in Baranello (Molise): La Monella Napoli cut, made with microbial rennet, with a 21-day shelf life at +4 °C, and the Professional Line for high volumes, 18 days at +2/+4 °C.

Both are made from pasteurised cow's milk, packed in liquid, and release little water in the oven. Instead of filling the fridge, order often: with same-day delivery the tray arrives when you need it. For Neapolitan pizza, also read our guide to fior di latte for STG pizza and how to use it.

Which peeled tomatoes, olive oil and boxes does a pizzeria really need?

For the sauce there are Strianese peeled tomatoes from Agriconserve Rega: long Roma-type tomatoes, steam-peeled, with no preservatives or added citric acid, in cases of 6 × 2.5 kg tins. If you want San Marzano, read our guide to pizza tomatoes and alternatives first. For cooking and finishing there is Zucchi's Pallade extra virgin olive oil in 5 litre PET bottles.

The Con Gusto 33×33×4 cm box, in packs of 100, is made of breathable E-flute corrugated board: it reduces condensation so the base arrives crisp, for pizzas up to 30-32 cm. Detergents and packaging come in the same delivery; for ovens, peels and counters, see our list of essential pizzeria equipment to get started.
