One happy Tefal customer said: “Perfect all round. What an amazing machine which has given us so much enjoyment and amazing foods. We have made pizza, garlic bread and also cooked amazing roasted veg [and] crispy jacket potatoes. It’s given our outdoor area a true focal point. The build quality is true Tefal – it’s light enough to be packed away and super simple to operate.”

Another said: “The pizza oven is incredibly easy to set up and use, and it also looks really sleek. I’d never made pizza from scratch, but it’s now become the norm in my house. The product is great for entertaining and I have used it quite a few times with friends asking where they can get one. Pizzas come out really quickly and it’s like having it fresh from an Italian restaurant. Potentially one of my favourite appliances ever.”

A third said: “Great for summer. The oven is very sturdy, easy to connect to patio gas and comes with the paddle to lift the pizza in and out. The turntable is great to ensure pizza is evenly cooked. I recommend this if you love cooking outdoors in the summer and makes a change from a BBQ.”

This satisfied shopper said: “I was very excited to try out the and it didn’t disappoint. Once we had it at the right temperature we were knocking out restaurant standard pizzas with ease and with very quick cooking times. The pizzas cooked evenly with the help of the rotating disc.”

However, despite their glowing review, the same buyer added: “My only criticism would be the legs would be better if they could lock into position.”
