Pizza Oven Thread

Fairly successful I would say.

Something a bit different.









Nutella and salted ricotta.

Walking round Aldi yesterday saw this :-

Not sure it would be any good or not, but a cheap way to trial.

I like the look of a pizza oven/BBQ, right up my street!

Has anyone seen one elsewhere?
I doubt our local Aldi will have one?

i think someone mention on the thread earlier you could buy the Aldi oven off Ebay, cheaper...

Any links?
Popped to my local Aldi earlier but they didn't have any in.

[theguvernor15]

Alternatively is anyone bored of their UUni & wanting to sell?

Couldnt see a price but I just popped into my large tesco superstore for some lunch and they had one for sale in the entrance.

This was Andover, but im sure others have them too.

The Uuni thing looks really great. Love the pizzas that have been posted on here.

We are in the process of rebuilding our house. I wanted to build a wood oven into the corner of the kitchen. I'm thinking something discrete rather than looking like we live in Zizzi's, but I wondered if anyone had done this and had any tips.

I have a wood oven in the garden too, but as one poster said it is not something I use on a cold February night....

Sounds like a brilliant idea. Good luck and post pics! My only concern would be to ensure that the chimney is high enough at the top to enable ALL smoke to be extracted naturally (in-line fans would just get too filthy) and also be aware that you might get the occasional blow back that could be interesting if inside the kitchen!

You don't need any of that expensive crap

I tried this, worked perfectly. You just need to have a very big frying pan and a grill turned up to finish.

The main thing about pizza is the dough preparation

Few pics from tonight's effort. Was an impromptu one and we had no dough so relied on the Gino De Campo stuff, decent enough but rectangular shape doesn't help my set up. Anyway, really impressed with my fire this time, got the log catching and the temperature was off the scale within 20 mins.

Rather parsimonious with the sauce there old chap! Otherwise looks lovely! As the "cheese eating surrender monkeys" would say 'chaq'un a son gout!'.

As you were......

But us blokes know that it isn't really all about the pizza, it is also about fire building. Man stuff! Getting the oven to temperature, watching the flames for what seems like hours, closing the bottom half of the oven door to starve the flames a little before opening it again to a roar of the fire as the oxygen causes the flames to rage. It all part of it. Doing pizza on a hob may give decent pizza but there is no man stuff involved. I have a smallish garden and thus no option for bonfires; hence the pizza oven takes care of that need for me. Geddit?

uuni ordered and arrived!

back home next week, and looking forward to this! buying dough from waitrose though, hope its good enough! does it need to be worked or is it ready to just stretch out and bang stuff onti?

also bought that artisan pizza book, looks decent.

[teeceeee]

pretty impressive results so far...

[Kermit power]

My wife has booked me on a "build your own pizza oven" course for my birthday!

Unfortunately, it's in Norfolk, and we couldn't get Grandparents to look after the kids until the first weekend of August, but still, looking forward to it!

Have a look on eBay for the La Hacienda Pizza ovens and Bakerstone range which can sit on top of a traditional bbq.

There is also a range of stand alone pizza ovens which are being sold off at sub 200quid when the original price was up to 500.

just to report back. The uuni is the absolute mutts nuts!

Bought dough from a local pizza joint because I'm lazy. Had a few people over and pretty much all of them are off to buy one now...

I've just had a look at their website - looks like a very impressive piece of kit.

The wood pellets look like cat litter though
