Jamie Oliver's Tefal pizza oven now £100 off - and shoppers say it's 'restaurant standard'

Jamie Oliver's Tefal pizza oven, which promises to deliver 'restaurant standard pizzas', is causing quite a stir among food enthusiasts and now comes with a £100 discount. The Jamie Oliver by Tefal Stone-bake Pizza Oven has seen its price slashed from £349.99 to a more palatable £249.99 on Tefal's website.

This 28% markdown trumps Amazon's listed price of £299.99 for the identical model. The gas-powered oven is touted as the perfect tool for both novices and seasoned 'pizzaiolos' looking to rustle up the ideal pizza in their own back garden this summer.

Tefal assures that the gadget is a cinch to operate, offering swift assembly and an array of essential tools including a pizza peel, pizza stone, quick start guide and gas regulator. Once fired up, the oven can hit the optimal cooking temperature of 400 °C in roughly 20 minutes.

Setting it apart from competitors, it features a hand-spun dial on the side of the oven that rotates the pizza stone within, guaranteeing an evenly cooked and flawless pizza. There's also a dial to tweak the flame for total control over the oven's heat.

Weighing in at 12.5kg, the oven's foldable feet make for easy storage and transport for those keen to showcase their pizza prowess on the go. Gas bottles are required to power the pizza oven, but these must be purchased separately, reports

The Tefal offers a wallet-friendly option when stacked against the popular Ooni Koda 12, which retails at £299 and boasts a fiery peak temperature of 500°C alongside greater portability weighing in at just 9.25kg. For those looking for more versatility at the same price point as Tefal's (£249.99), the Ninja Artisan Electric Outdoor Pizza Oven and Air Fryer presents itself as a strong contender that moonlights as an air fryer.

Yet, the Jamie Oliver by Tefal Stone-bake Pizza Oven has charmed its way to a stellar 4.7-star accolade after 127 critiques - where a whopping 117 are four or five-star affairs. This standing goes neck and neck with the Ooni and surpasses the 4.6-star accolade garnered by Ninja.

A thrilled Tefal customer professed: "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 enthusiast beamed: "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 customer praised: "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 barbecue."

Another chuffed buyer shared: "I was very excited to try out the Jamie Oliver Pizza Oven 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 purchaser noted: "My only criticism would be the legs would be better if they could lock into position."
