The Pizza Butler is designed to be a space saving tray for the restaurant industry. It has added ambiance to the dining room tables just by its 3-dimensional rise off the table. It is made out of stainless steel for corrosion resistance, is dishwasher safe, and has specially designed carrying area for the wait staff. The satin stainless has added a stylish look to the pizza presentation and customers have been so excited about it that they are purchasing it for their homes.

The Pizza Butler is currently also being used in pizza display cases because it doubles up the amount of pizza displayed that is sold by the slice. Many customers like the display presentation it makes when you have two totally different pie toppings on half of the pie on two levels. Rectangular butlers are available for Sicilian pies.

The Pizza Butler is also being used by the catering industry to display desserts and appetizers. The catering industry has ordered it in different sizes and in different finishes, including mirror.

The Pizza Butler has many photos and videos on its website. Please visit www.ThePizzaButler.com or contact us at 1-800-394-2712.
