How to move a 700kg pallet down stairs and across grass
Discussion

Top of the stairs, the pizza oven is behind where this photo was taken, on the gravel driveway
Bottom o de stairs
Around the corner into the lawn, over more gravel
Over the lawn into the far left corner (base yet to be finished)
That's the "ground" way, as you can see on the last pic the driveway runs above and to the side of its final resting place, so a crane/aerial lift would just go straight over the edge and down, but would need to reach and drop.

Those pictures help.
You need some way to slide the oven, some way to lift and some way to lower.
How about a few scaffolding planks + rollers (either pipe or broom handles as someone suggested) - easy enough to slide the oven across the lawn, and down the steps. Consider how Egyptians built pyramids.
To lift up at the far end, it should be pretty easy with some concrete blocks, scaffolding plank levers and a car trolley jack. As though you were putting a car on bricks.
The hardest bit seems to be a controlled slide down the steps, on the same planks. Manual chain hoist attached to a static vehicle perhaps?

One inch ply to line the route, rollers under the oven. Think round fence posts.
Attach heavy car to lifting points via pallet straps, lower down slope
Move slowly forward, bring ply from front to rear, repeat as required.
Hire very large tripod winch, build oven base directly under oven, raise, new course, etc.
Wait for base to cure, lower onto base
Or similar

You want a tracked flatbed power barrow like this.
I was about to reply to the thread telling the OP to forget it because there's no chance of getting that where he wants it, but that thing is genius! Certainly insta-solves the first 2 issues (if one turns a blind eye to max payload numbers.. ) and I'm sure you can hire an engine crane for getting it in and out of the barrow. You really should have thought about the logistics of moving a 0.75 tonne fragile "rock" about before you decided to buy it though.
I can't see your pictures, but what about using scaffold to build a frame over your route? You could use scaffold or RSJs down the middle to suspend a block and tackle (on rollers) from, which would allow you to lift it up, push it through the air and then lower it down.
They're going to end up expensive Pizzas!
