English term or phrase: pizza 2 pans
I am translating a catalog for household appliances. One model of ovens comes with a list or pre-set recipes that are listed in the catalog under various headings (the detailed recipes are not given). Under "pizza" the two recipes available are "pizza" and "pizza 2 pans". Does anybody know what "2 pans" could possibly refer to?

Thank you

two pan pizza
Explanation:
Googling shows a few hits for "two pan pizza":

"Presently, one pan pizza cost $7 but I can make my own two pan pizza less than $5."

"I do it all by hand so maybe I need a total handling time for a two pan pizza recipe for my Lou/Uno like crust."

http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php?topic=2403.55;wap...

Haven't found a recipe for it, so can't explain further. I would write it "2-pan pizza" or two-pan pizza."

I'm assuming that since it comes under the recipe section of the manual, it refers to a type of pizza rather than how to place two pizzas in the oven at the same time.

Doesn't reading the recipe yield some insight? Does the recipe use 2 pans??

Oh, sorry. It's a catalog, not a manual, and I see that the recipes are not given. My mistake.

pan pizza or bread pizza


Explanation:
Could be a mistranslation with typo. Or - there is something called bread pizza, pizza di pane in Italian. But I'm guessing.

2 different sizes


Explanation:
Pizzas usually come in 2 different pan sizes

One is a flat (Thin) pan pizza and the other is a deep pan pizza.

You need the two different pan sizes for each type.
