Shoppers can save £100 on my favourite pizza oven that rivals Ooni and Ninja
With al fresco dining on the agenda this summer, pizza fans can save up to £350 on the Gozney range Pizza ovens are heating up back gardens across the UK as demand for outdoor cooking continues to rise. With more people investing in at-home dining experiences, wood-fired and gas-powered pizza ovens are proving more popular than ever. In my opinion, one of the best you can buy comes from Gozney - and I should know because I have one. The Gozney Arc is touted as being the "world's most advanced compact oven for creating a 14-inch pizza." It can hit a scorching 500°C and comes equipped with a revolutionary burner. The Arc is just one of the offerings from Gozney, and right now shoppers can save on selected pizza ovens and accessories until August, 6. With up to £350 off range-topping ovens in the Gozney sale, these are investment pieces that make outdoor cooking really easy. Elsewhere in the range, the Gozney Dome is a high-end, dual-fuel outdoor pizza oven that runs on wood or gas and is capable of reaching temperatures over 950°F to cook restaurant-quality Neapolitan pizzas in just 60–90 seconds. Designed for serious home cooks, it features a 16-inch cooking surface, built-in digital thermometer, adjustable air vents and professional-grade insulation for consistent heat. As well as making perfect pizza, it can roast, bake, steam and smoke, making it a versatile outdoor cooking tool. Usually on sale for £1,799, shoppers can save £350, with the price slashed to £1449.99. For pizza on the go, the Gozney Tread is a lightweight, ultra-portable pizza oven designed for outdoor cooking anywhere. Built with rugged materials, it supports high-temperature cooking and fits a 12' pizza or cast-iron pan. It can be paired with the Venture Stand and an attachable cutting board to make a compact outdoor kitchen setup. Reduced from £499 to £399, it's a worthy alternative to the likes of Ooni and Ninja. Back to my favourite - The Arc. Easy to use straight out of the box, it was up and running in under 10 minutes. Once connected to the gas it was ready to go. The battery-powered LED display lets me see how hot it is getting, although it takes around 30-40 minutes to reach 400°C. The oven gets extremely hot, and once the pizza is in, it cooks in literally 60 seconds. The first time I used it I thought that was a sales pitch, but I got caught out when I turned my back and it burnt, so very quick. I would recommend watching while it cooks to ensure the pizza comes out perfectly cheesy and authentically delicious. Stylish, expertly designed and a top-tier pizza oven – this gadget is far from a novelty. I'm ready to serve up pizzas all summer that are so delicious, I doubt we'll even consider takeaways. The Gozney Arc, a truly ground-breaking outdoor oven that whips up fantastic pizza in a flash, can be bought online for £599.99 directly from Gozney. And if you're keen on the tall pizza oven stand, it'll cost you an extra £249.99 - but honestly, I think it is worth it. Naturally, there are other pizza ovens available. The Ooni is perhaps one of the most recognised brands in the UK, boasting a range of pizza ovens to cater to everyone. The Ooni Karu Multi-Fuel Outdoor Pizza Oven is a top-selling model, presently on offer with 30% off, reduced from £699 to £489.30. Other Ooni favourites include the Ooni Karu 12 Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven, on sale for £299, and the Karu 2 2nd Generation Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven, now £349 at Lakeland. Elsewhere, the Big Horn Outdoor Pizza Oven is a good alternative for buyers on a budget. On sale for £149.40, buyers have called it "A pizza lover's dream." But it's not just me who is smitten with my Gozney pizza oven. One five-star review on the website said: "I wish I could give this oven more than five stars. I bought the Arc model, which is truly a work of art. "Even the packaging is beautifully designed. From the moment you open the box, you can see the attention to detail and high-quality craftsmanship. I've made pizzas and sandwiches in it, and the results have been amazing. This is easily one of the best purchases I've made for my happiness." Another added: "This oven is a huge step up - heat retention is amazing with thicker stone, and side flame gives great visibility at its hottest point. It looks cool too and gets a lot of love and admiring comments. Awesome". However, not all users found it to be a straightforward experience, with one sharing a less than stellar three-star review: "We are still trying to figure it out. We keep burning our pizzas, or they are uncooked all the way." Nonetheless, the Gozney Arc and its array of accessories seem to have won a place in the hearts of pizza lovers far and wide, with another five-star review encapsulating the sentiment: " Game changer for professional quality pizza at home."

Gozney pizza oven that rivals Ooni is saving me a fortune on takeaways
I've never been much of a whiz in the kitchen so the idea of effortlessly creating a sumptuous Italian feast always felt like a bit of a fantasy. But when got my hands on this summers must-have garden gadget - the Gozney Arc Pizza Oven - I couldn't wait to try out in my own back garden. Billed as the "world's most advanced compact oven for creating a 14-inch pizza", the Gozney Arc doesn't disappoint. It reaches an eye-watering 500°C and features a game-changing lateral gas burner that ensures consistent, even cooking. The result? Restaurant-quality pizza in 60 seconds. We're obsessed with pizza in my household— gooey, cheesy, and steaming hot, we're loyal regulars at our local Dominos. But as anyone feeding a family of four will know, those cravings come at a cost. With an average order setting us back around £40 and at least three pizza nights a month (no judgement, please!), it doesn't take long for the price of a premium pizza oven to start making financial sense. Available online for £549.99 directly from Gozney (currently £50 off the usual price of £599), the Arc might not be the cheapest option on the market—but after testing it out, I can confidently say it's worth every penny. I'll admit, I was equal parts excited and nervous when I first unbozed it. Would this sleek new gadget turn into another messy regret? Fortunately, my fears were unfounded. While trendy pizza ovens from brands like Ooni and Ninja have gained popularity for their blazing-hot cooking chambers that turn out pizzas in minutes, the Gozney Arc truly stands out —not just for its style, but for its performance. Easy to use, this pizza oven is a 'game changer' for pizza fans Gozney didn't just send the Arc—they also included a balancing turning peel, utility peel, pizza server, pizza cutter and even the Arc stand and cover . Everything was thoughtfully packaged, with clearly numbered boxes and straightforward instructions. Even for someone who usually panics at the sight of a manual, setup was smooth sailing. As someone with a rather distant relationship with my own kitchen, I was genuinely amazed at how simple it was to create restaurant-quality pizza at home. Armed with a newly acquired gas canister, we had the Gozney Arc fired up and ready to go in under 10 minutes. While purists may argue that wood-fired ovens offer a richer, smokier flavour, the gas option delivers unbeatable speed and convenience. That said, it's worth factoring in the cost of the gas bottle as part of running expenses. The oven features a built-in LED display , powered by the included batteries, which clearly shows the rising temperature—making it easy to monitor progress. Gozney recommends a gentle 30-minute warm-up on low to medium heat for first use to properly 'cure' the oven. In my case, it took just over 40 minutes to climb above 400°C, so shoppers should bear that in mind when they're hoping to whip up a pizza in a flash. This thing gets hot. I could feel the heat radiating as I passed by—it's seriously impressive. Once our dough was stretched and the toppings piled high, we used the sturdy pizza peel to launch our creation into the fiery depths of the Arc. And wow - it cooked in literal seconds . In what felt like the blink of an eye (about 60 seconds, give or take), the toppings were bubbling, the cheese golden and gooey and the crust crisping up like it came straight from a Neapolitan pizzeria. Admittedly, our first attempt was slightly singed on one side thanks to a brief lapse in attention, but our second go was perfection: cheesy, chewy, and utterly delicious. The Gozney Arc is available to purchase online for £549.99 directly from Gozney. And if shoppers fancy the tall pizza oven stand like I do, it'll set customers back an additional £249.99. Of course, there are other pizza ovens out there that also make great pizza. The Ooni is likely the most recognised brand, offering a range of pizza ovens to cater to various diners. The Ooni Karu 12 Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven is a brand best-seller. Available to buy from Lakeland for £299, buyers have called it an 'amazing' oven that 'makes great pizza'. Other Ooni favourites include the Ooni Koda 16 Gas-Fired Outdoor Pizza Oven that comes with a baking stone for £499 and the Karu 2 Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven priced at £349. A new generation of wood pellet pizza ovens are also taking home cooks by storm. The Ninja Woodfire Electric Outdoor Oven, Artisan Pizza Maker and BBQ Smoker for example, has been called a 'game changer' thanks to its ease of use and effective design. Relatively new to the outdoor pizza oven game, writer Narin Flanders called it " the ultimate outdoor gadget for foodies." It's currently on sale at Lakeland, reduced from £349.99 to £299.99 - read our full review here. For pizza lovers on a budget, the Big Horn Wood Pellet Pizza Oven is £125.99 on Amazon. With more than 2000 positive reviews, one user called it 'a pizza lover's dream'. It's not just me who loves it. One five-star review on the website said: "I wish I could give this oven more than five stars. I bought the Arc model, which is truly a work of art. Even the packaging is beautifully designed.

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.

'I tried a pizza oven to rival Ooni and now I'll never order takeaway again'
I've always been a bit of a disaster in the kitchen, so the idea of creating delicious Italian cuisine at home seemed like a tall order. However, with outdoor pizza ovens becoming the summer's must-have item, I was thrilled when Gozney sent me their Arc Pizza Oven and stand to test out in my own garden. To be honest, I was a mix of excited and nervous, worried that this flashy new cooking gadget might be messy, luckily, I was mistaken. While all these trendy new pizza ovens from brands like Ooni and Ninja share one feature - a super-hot chamber that cooks pizzas to perfection in minutes - the Gozney Arc stands out. Described as the "world's most advanced compact oven for creating a 14-inch pizza", it can reach temperatures of 500°C and has a game-changing burner. According to the Gozney website, the Arc features 'an innovative lateral rolling flame and burner that replicates the flame of a traditional wood-fired oven' which helps ensure the heat is distributed evenly. As a novice with no professional kitchen experience and a limited relationship with my own home kitchen, I was amazed at how simple it was to create delicious pizza. Delivered along with a balancing turning peel, a utility peel, a pizza server, a pizza cutter, and an impressive Arc stand and Arc cover. The setup was straightforward, with clear instructions and each box and component carefully numbered. Armed with a newly purchased gas canister, we had the Arc connected to the gas and ready to go in less than 10 minutes. While pizza connoisseurs may argue that wood chippings provide a superior flavour, the gas option is quick and convenient, but we did have to purchase a gas bottle, so pizza enthusiasts should consider this when calculating their costs. The battery-powered (batteries included - yay!) LED display flicked on to show the oven heating up, making it a breeze to monitor the rising temperature. Gozney suggests giving the oven a gentle 30-minute warm-up at low to medium heat upon first use to "cure" it properly. However, I found it took a tad over 40 minutes to hit north of 400 degrees. This is definitely something to bear in mind if you're itching to whip up a quick pizza. This beast is hot, you can sense the sheer intensity of the heat as you stroll by. With our pizza dough rolled out and toppings at the ready, we wielded the hefty pizza peel to launch our creation into the fiery belly of the oven. And blimey, were we in for a shock at the speed of cooking! In a mere 60 seconds (or maybe even less), the toppings were sizzling with gusto. It was so rapid that I charred one edge due to a moment's distraction, but our second go was better, yielding a sumptuous cheesy pizza with that genuine Italian pizzeria flair. Chic, superbly crafted, and a top-notch pizza oven – this gadget is no gimmick. I'm all set to dish out pizzas all summer that are so good, I don't think we'll bother with takeaways. The Gozney Arc, a truly innovative outdoor oven that cooks incredible pizza in no time, is available to purchase online for £549.99 directly from Gozney. It's not the cheapest pizza oven out there, but it does have £50 off the usual price of £599. And if you fancy the tall pizza oven stand like I do, it'll set you back an additional £249.99. Of course, there are other pizza ovens out there. The Ooni is probably the best-known brand, with a collection of pizza ovens to suit different diners. The Ooni Koda 12 Gas Powered Pizza Oven is a best-selling model, currently on sale at Lakeland for £299. Other Ooni favourites include the Ooni Karu 12 Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven, also £299 and the Karu 2 2nd Generation Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven with £30 off at £349. A new generation of wood pellet pizza ovens are also taking home cooks by storm. The Ninja Woodfire Electric Outdoor Oven, Artisan Pizza Maker and BBQ S moker for example, has been called a 'game changer' thanks to its ease of use and effective design. Relatively new to the outdoor pizza oven game, writer Narin Flanders reviewed the Ninja Pizza Oven for herself. She called it "the ultimate outdoor gadget for foodies." For pizza lovers on a budget, the Big Horn Wood Pellet Pizza Oven is £149 on Amazon. With more than 2000 positive reviews, one user called it "a pizza lover's dream." It's not just me who loves it. One five-star review on the website said: "I wish I could give this oven more than five stars. I bought the Arc model, which is truly a work of art. Even the packaging is beautifully designed. From the moment you open the box, you can see the attention to detail and high-quality craftsmanship. I've made pizzas and sandwiches in it, and the results have been amazing. This is easily one of the best purchases I've made for my happiness." A second added: "This oven is a huge step up - heat retention is amazing with thicker stone, and side flame gives great visibility at its hottest point. It looks cool too and gets a lot of love and admiring comments! Awesome" One user, however, didn't find it quite so easy to master. They left a three-star review that said: "We are still trying to figure it out. We keep burning our pizzas, or they are uncooked all the way." Overall, the Gozney Arc and it's many accessories are a big hit with fellow pizza fans. Another five-star review summed it up, saying: "Game changer for professional quality pizza at home."
