The VonHaus BBQ Pizza Oven excels at turning your backyard BBQ into an authentic Italian pizzeria. Its insulated stainless steel cavity ensures efficient heat retention, allowing it to reach the optimal cooking temperature of 400°C in just 15-20 minutes. The integrated temperature gauge is crucial here, providing real-time feedback to ensure you're cooking at peak performance for that perfect crispy crust. Once pre-heated, a 12” pizza cooks incredibly fast, typically in about 90 seconds, making it ideal for entertaining guests who can customize their own pizzas for a fun, interactive dining experience.

Its portability, facilitated by the compact size and handles, means you can enjoy these culinary delights not just in your garden, but also at campsites or other outdoor gatherings, provided a compatible BBQ is available.
Unpack: Remove the VonHaus BBQ Pizza Oven from its packaging.
Placement: Place the fully assembled pizza oven directly onto the cooking grate of your hooded gas or charcoal BBQ.
Positioning: Ensure the oven is centered and stable on the BBQ grate.

Pizza Stone Cleaning: After use, allow the ceramic pizza stone to cool completely. Scrape off any excess food residue with a spatula. For stubborn stains, use a stiff brush or a damp cloth; avoid harsh detergents. The stone can be wiped down easily.
Oven Exterior Cleaning: The insulated stainless steel exterior can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to prevent scratching.
Storage: Store in a dry place to protect the stainless steel from prolonged exposure to elements, even though it is rust-resistant. Ensure it is completely cool before storing.
