I had double deck, gas Bakers Pride pizza oven, old model: 1. The top one has no pilot, the gas came out but the oven never start the burner, I took the pilot out and buy a replacement part, but at the same time I saw the controller came loose (the controller and pilot attached together via one screw. 2. The bottom one had gas shut off, the pilot and controller are still working just fine, I can still can see the fire but the burner never start, no gas, it seems the knob that turn the gas on/off came loose, this knob needs replacement. As you can see I'm out of my pizza business, I really need a repairman or part adviser. Thanks, Knight (Pizza Depot)
If you have the older Bakers pride manufactured more then 20 years ago and it has never had service, it sounds like the safety valve is defective, that's the red button you push in the light pilot, if the pilot is lit and when you turn the manual gas valve on for the main burner to lite and still it does not you problem still may be the safety and/or a failing thermocouple.

does it light then immediately go out? if yes, usually you have to hold in a button to allow gas to flow while you light the pilot, and hold this button until the therm0-couple is heated with the pilot flame. If the thermo-couple is not sufficiently heated and you let go of this button, the pilot light will go out as the safety circuit thinks there's no flame and unburned gas is entering the oven.
The other thing you could do is adjust the height of the pilot flame... there's usually an adjustment screw near the button described above which will allow you to adjust the height of the flame. Make the flame just big enough to guarantee that it keeps the thermo-couple hot AND that it can light the oven without being blown out.
Good luck.

Hello. Usually this problem is related to the pilot being dirty, and
not heating the bulb for the safety device properly/hot enough to fully
open the valve. If you have a general purpose mini torch you can heat
the metal bulb near the pilot with it, if this is the problem, the
safety will open, and the main burner will come on. CAREFUL, you are
not on/around the main burner, as it will allow gas to come on to the
main burner, and if your pilot is not working properly, might not light
the gas. Get the pilot cleaned and adjusted.
or... :) I know...
your safety has failed, allowing gas to the pilot, but internally is
not opening, this requires replacement. Last though, it could be your
thermostat, its last in line, and would require replacement. The
safety, and the thermostat are mechanical valves, open or closed
depending on its function.
If you have a more current type,
they will have a combination valve, and thermopile/thermocouple that
are electromechanical, your thermostat at this point can be either
mechanical, or electromechanical. This system has a few more possible
causes for your symptom.
You can tell which you have by how you
light the pilot, have a red button on the front of the unit, by the
on/off valve? this is the first type.
Have to open a small door to access a knob, turn it to pilot, and hold in? this is the latter type.
ask if you need more help.
Hope that helps, and thank you.

adjust the flame so that it stays on the thremal couple and keeps it hot if it is off by 1/4 inch it will not work.

I'd suspect a worn out circuit breaker.

Several things to check. First be sure the pilot light flame is directly striking the thermocouple. It is a pencil sized rod that is next to the pilot light. Sometimes people reduce the size of the pilot flame to save gas. You may need to increase the pilot flame. Follow the small gas line from the pilot flame back to the gas valve. There is a screw where the small pilot gas line goes into the valve. Remove the screw and then deep in the hole is a tiny screw that can only be reached by a tiny flat blade screw driver. Turn the screw counter clockwise to increase the pilot flame. The thermocouple needs to be red hot to work properly. The second item to check is to see if there are any breezes that occasionally blow through the kitchen. Sometimes the hood fan will draw air under the ovens and actually blow the pilot flame out. Same fix, increase the flame. You may also experience low gas pressure to the appliance during heavy usage. You would need a manometer gauge to check for proper gas pressure. In short, if the oven goes out during your busiest time when everything gas powered is on, the oven may be starved for gas.
