As we finally welcome double-digit temperatures, it's time to start planning garden gatherings again. And with the arrival of warmer weather comes the beginning of barbecue season. Luckily, Debenhams has just the thing to elevate outdoor dining - a two-tier pizza oven that's currently almost half price.
The Costway Outdoor Pizza Oven has space to cook traditionally-fired pizzas on the lower tier while grilling kebabs, burgers and other tasty food on the top. Normally retailing at £189.95, Debenhams has cut the price to £99.95 for a limited time. The pizza oven, housed in sleek black metal, is a hybrid between a chimenea and a traditional barbecue, reports the Manchester Evening News.
It can be powered by either wood or charcoal to cook the food stored in the upper section. Both compartments have metal doors to retain the heat, with the top fully covered to shield food from unpredictable British weather.
Pizza ovens have increasingly become a garden staple for many in recent years, offering a quicker outdoor cooking experience than barbecuing. However, while shoppers have flocked to premium brands like Ooni, Gozney and Ninja - who launched their pizza oven into the market last summer to much acclaim - they all come with a high end price tag to match, meaning shoppers risk spending hundreds of pounds on a gadget the might not actually get much use from.
In comparison, the versatile £99 option includes both a grill and a pizza stone, as well as a wedge to help you safely insert and remove your pizzas from the oven without ruining them. The oven also features a 60cm long handle to prevent any burns while cooking. This metal pizza oven boasts portability and a lightweight design, perfect for moving around the garden.
It also includes two handles on opposite sides for easy carrying, offering an ideal setup for outdoor entertaining. While competitively priced, it stands as a strong contender against pricier models such as the Ooni Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven, which starts at £299 and lacks additional barbecue features.
On the Costway website, the Outdoor Pizza Oven has earned an overall rating of 4.8 stars. In the reviews, one customer mentioned: "A great little pizza oven. We had a little pizza party, and it was great. Easy to put together, great value compared with others."

Another user commented: "Love the folding legs. Makes it easy to store and set up for some backyard pizza action." Additionally, a third review said: "Took my pizza game to the next level. Heats up fast and cooks evenly."

Feedback suggested the addition of a recipe booklet and set-up instructions, advising on optimal fuel for heat, speed, and taste would be beneficial. Also, one reviewer envisioned enhancements for future models like including a fire tray for easier cleanup, although they found using a picnic barbecue tray a handy interim solution, keeping it for continued use.
For other more affordable options, Amazon is currently slashing the price of another pizza oven. The VonHaus model has seen a 14% reduction, bringing the price down from £144.99 to a more affordable £119.99. Additionally, TANGZON also offers a pizza oven similar to the Costway model. It's on Amazon for £109.90.

TikTok creating more than 500 new British jobs as UK users top 30 million
The Chinese-owned social media firm said its UK workforce would expand to 3,000 this year as part of its 'deep commitment' to the UK. It will also open a new 135,000sq ft office in London's Barbican, which is set to open early next year. The group already has its UK headquarters in Farringdon, London, which were opened in 2022. TikTok unveiled the plans as it said it now has more than 30 million regular users in the UK each month, which makes the market is biggest user community in Europe. Adam Presser, director of TikTok UK and global head of operations and trust and safety, said: 'Whether through direct investment in jobs and innovation, or the wider economic contribution from millions of British businesses on TikTok, we're pleased to be increasing our investment and presence here in the UK, an important hub for TikTok.' But it comes after Cabinet minister Pete Kyle signalled he was looking at measures to restrict the amount of time children spend on their phones, including through a possible 10pm curfew. Mr Kyle was asked on Sunday morning whether he would look at limiting the time children spend on social media to two hours per app after the Sunday People and Mirror reported the measure was being considered by ministers. The Online Safety Act has passed into law, and from this year will require tech platforms to follow new Ofcom-issued codes of practice to keep users safe online, particularly children. Hefty fines and site blockages are among the penalties for those caught breaking the rules, but many critics have argued the approach gives tech firms too much scope to regulate themselves. TikTok's Mr Presser said that, as well as its UK expansion plans, the group also invests 'significantly' in safety. He said: 'What underpins our continued growth is our deep commitment to safety and to creating an enjoyable and secure digital space to sustainably support creators, entrepreneurs and the wider economy, which is why we also invest significantly in safety.' TikTok first launched its UK operations in 2018 and is financially incorporated in Britain. The group was fined 530 million euro (£446 million) by the Irish data protection watchdog last month for breaching EU privacy rules around transferring user data to China. The video-sharing app was also sanctioned for not being transparent with users about where personal data was being sent and ordered the platform to comply with data protection rules within six months. TikTok said it would appeal against the decision. The social media giant, which is owned by China-based ByteDance, has been under scrutiny from regulators around the world over how it handles personal data, and is also facing a ban in the United States over its China links, which the US government has said is a national security issue.
