Pizza Party: Effortless Entertaining with Kiwi Pizza
Our pizza ovens are more than just a cooking tool—they're the heart of gathering and good times! From kneading dough to choosing toppings and watching the pizzas bake to perfection, it's an interactive experience that brings everyone together.
Cooking with Kiwi Pizza Oven involves the whole family; everyone can join the fun. You can turn a weekend lunch into a culinary class with kids, showing them world cuisines, the importance of good food and a healthy diet. They are always proud of their creations, and even picky kids like pizzas when made by themselves!
You will find that some quality pizza dough and a few toppings are more than enough for an awesome pizza party. We still enjoy watching pizza oven newbies making their first pizza and eating it quickly to try another one. Our guests are so into experimenting with pizzas that everyone cherishes their full belly on the nearby deck when we are ready for wedges or meat.
Because of our ovens' exceptional thermal properties, they keep heat for hours; we can wait for people to get hungry again with no risk of the oven cooling down. You won't be stuck in front of the pizza oven. Pizzas cook in minutes, so after making one, you can go right back to socialising, allowing another creative chef to try their skills. When the party is over, and you have some leftovers, you can slow cook them in a ceramic dish to devour at midnight or treat yourself to a pizza oven lunch again the day after. We always slow-cook a nice piece of meat for our weekday lunches.
These ovens aren't just about making delicious pizzas; they're a centrepiece for entertainment, turning any get-together into a memorable occasion.
