Discount pizza oven that ‘bakes like a dream' brings the pizzeria to your garden
Wood fired pizza doesn't have the cost the earth with this mega Debenhams deal One of the hottest – and tastiest – summer trends is freshly-cooked wood fired pizza at home. Brands like Ooni have brought these personal pizza ovens into the mainstream, but there's no disguising the cost that comes with them. Shoppers can now bring the pizzeria to their gardens for a lot less, thanks to this heavily-discounted outdoor pizza oven. Normally costing nearly £260, there's a big discount as it's reduced to £109.95 at Debenhams. This pizza oven has a couple of unique features: it's a double-layer arrangement, meaning it cooks more than one pizza at once, thanks to the included grill. It also comes with a pizza peel and a waterproof cover for storage. The bottom section is where the wood fire is set, with a pizza stone above it. The pizza stone is the secret to getting crispy bases, as it holds a lot of heat for an even cook. With storage in mind, there are folding legs on the bottom of this pizza oven, so it's a little more compact when it comes to packing it away. There are also two carry handles on the side, so it can be easily moved back to the shed or garage when winter comes around. The downside of this design is that it takes up a bit more space, while rivals like those from Ooni feature a more compact design, with many offering wood and gas options, meaning greater versatility, albeit at a higher price. But even Ooni offers some models that are cheaper than the Gozney Arc, which is a rated pizza oven using gas instead of wood as its fuel. Gozney is more advanced in its design, with a precise dial for more accurate temperature control. It's a premium option, but it's also reduced to £549.99 at the moment. One of the secrets to home pizza making is having a great dough recipe, like this one from Jamie Oliver, which means pizza will be lovely and fresh. Making dough isn't hard, I've been doing it for many years to make my own pizzas. When it comes to pizza toppings, which is where it gets really exciting, there's the chance to put anything. Be it pineapple, Parma ham and rocket after it's cooked. Best of all, once cooking, it can really save money compared to a takeaway. Not only is the pizza fresher, but shoppers don't have to fish around for discounts on apps like Dominoes and Papa Johns, for the family. Pizza ovens, once up to heat, cook these pizzas in a matter of minutes. Shoppers are raving about the Debenhams outdoor pizza oven, too. As one person said: 'This oven rocks! It heats evenly and makes the crust just perfect." While another said: ' It bakes like a dream, and cleanup is a breeze thanks to the removable rack." One buyer did comment that there was a lack of information, however: 'It needs to come with either a little recipe booklet and definitely instructions on how to actually set the oven.' In my experience practice makes perfect: you'll have to practice with your dough and you'll have to make sure that the temperature is hot enough before you start cooking. But there's no denying that if you're looking for a more affordable route to cooking pizza in your own garden, then this Debenhams discount certainly helps.
