🔥 Performance & Cooking Experience

This oven heats up to 500–550°C in about 25–30 minutes, allowing you to cook a pizza in approximately 90 seconds. It’s not limited to pizzas; users have successfully cooked corn-on-the-cob, chapattis, and other dishes, thanks to its versatile clay interior. However, it accommodates only one pizza at a time, which might be a limitation when entertaining larger groups. ​

💪 Portability & Build Quality

Weighing 30kg, the DeliVita is marketed as portable. While it can be moved, it may require two people to do so safely. Its compact dimensions (65 x 59 x 35 cm) make it suitable for various outdoor settings, including patios and balconies. ​

🌧️ Weather Resistance & Accessories

Constructed with a fibreglass shell and stainless steel components, the oven is rust-resistant and can withstand outdoor conditions. However, to maintain its appearance and functionality, it’s recommended to use the optional all-weather cover, which protects against moisture and debris. ​ We love the red design although also available in other colours this is by far our favourite.

👥 Customer Feedback

Customers have praised the DeliVita for its ease of use, even for beginners, and its ability to produce delicious, restaurant-quality pizzas. The company’s customer service and helpful online resources, such as instructional videos and recipes, have also received positive mentions. ​

💷 Price Consideration

With a price tag of around £1,300, the DeliVita is a premium product. While some users feel the quality and performance justify the cost, others suggest considering more affordable options if the oven won’t be used frequently. ​ The oven seems to be on offer below RPP on several retailers including £895 at Chessington Garden Center
