Just a Bit of History
Sons of founder Lauréat Picard, Gilles and Guy had the idea of a lifetime: to create a pizza oven that would forever change the industry. That’s how the first LP-200 prototype was made, blending the speed of a conveyor with all the delicious taste of pizza baked in a brick oven. Early ovens were adopted by the Lebanese and Armenian communities in Montreal, Canada.
In 2015, Dave and Vincent saw the bigger potential in the LP-200. Dave and Vincent completely overhauled the oven’s look and function to improve how it cooks and make it more efficient and better adapted to the pizza industry. Their HOT ROCKS pizza oven made its grand entrance into the global pizza market.
The name “Hot Rocks” is the result of a contest created by Picard’s employees. The new owners thought the name was a good fit and decided to commercialize it.
Today, Hot Rocks is part of the Korok Group, a manufacturer of commercial food equipment also operating the Sipromac and Picard ovens brands.
