Professional Rectangular Pizza Server by GI.Metal
The GI.Metal rectangular pizza server is the professional tool for plating pizza in the dining room with precision. The 14x10 cm blade in flexible tempered stainless steel slides under the slice without breaking it, while the high-resistance polymer handle with a blue non-slip grip ensures a safe hold even with wet or greasy hands. Weighing only 0.16 kg and certified for food contact, it is designed for the everyday pace of a professional pizzeria.
GI.Metal: the world reference for pizzeria tools
Founded in 1986 in Tuscany by Marco D'Annibale, GI.Metal grew from a small blacksmith workshop near Pistoia into the global leader in pizza peels and pizzeria equipment. Today its headquarters in Montale (Pistoia) spans an 8,000 sqm facility and the company exports over 1,000 different products worldwide. GI.Metal is an official supplier of the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (AVPN), the authority that protects authentic Neapolitan pizza making, recognised by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2017.
Design and materials
The flexible tempered stainless steel blade is the heart of this server: thin enough to slip under a slice even from the raised edges of a baking tray, yet sturdy enough to lift a full portion without bending out of shape. The polymer handle resists heat, impact and scratches, is dishwasher safe and can be sterilised, meeting the hygiene standards required in professional kitchens. The blue grip insert adds friction so the tool stays firmly in hand throughout a busy service.
Professional uses
- Pizza al taglio: lift rectangular slices from the tray and transfer them to plate or box in one clean motion.
- Pizza al metro and pizza in pala: portion and serve long pizzas without dragging toppings.
- Counter service: ideal for focaccia, sfincione and savoury tarts displayed on trays.
- Pastry counter: serve slices of cake and baked desserts cleanly.
- Tableside plating: bring the standard of top Italian pizzerias directly to the guest.
Recommended pairings
Complete your pizzeria station by pairing this server with a GI.Metal aluminium peel for the oven, a stainless steel pizza wheel cutter or professional pizza scissors for portioning, and a wall-mounted peel rack to keep tools organised and within reach.
Care and maintenance
After each service, wash the server in the dishwasher or by hand with neutral detergent. The tempered stainless steel blade and polymer handle tolerate repeated washing and sterilisation cycles. Store hanging by the handle to protect the blade edge and keep the working surface clean.
