The desire and necessity to make our gardens work harder and genuinely become an additional room of the house has been underlined through lockdown. But more than this, the mindset to embrace 'Outdoor Living' continues to escalate the home and garden improvement trend as we approach summer.

A big 'must-have' is a foodie alfresco zone. Think loved ones gathered, all sat comfortably, surrounded by oodles of fabulous food and you'll soon be thinking about authentic wood fired ovens, fire pits and festoon lighting.  

DeliVita, a young Yorkshire brand with Italian heritage, combines British craftmanship with Italian flair to design and manufacture beautiful hand-crafted wood-fired ovens with bespoke top-of-the-range pizza accessories right here in the UK. Its range of Italian-inspired, stylish and portable table-top wood-fired ovens is being enhanced in time for summer to include a new Orange Blaze edition to bring pure joy to your garden and bellies.  

The DeliVita wood-fired oven is launching in NEW Orange Blaze to accompany its five other vibrant on-trend colours; Chilli Red, Olive Green, Hale Grey, Blue Diamond (with a little sparkle) and of course the Very Black. Ovens can also be bespoke coloured to match people's individual style! 

Joe Formisano, founder of DeliVita, said: “Gone are the days when we rush outside on the promise of a sunny weekend, dust off the rusty barbecue and evacuate spiders from the table and chairs. Gardens are now much needed, year-round, living spaces.  

“It's a cliché but Italians love to bring people together and that's what good food can do, so we invented DeliVita to play its part in this. It's more than a pizza oven – it's about bringing friends and family together to share great food and special times, to have the versatility to cook just about anything and inspire creativity. 

“You can use DeliVita as a barbecue, pizza oven, hot smoker, tandoor oven, slow cooker and even to bake. Minimum hassle, maximum taste- we want every foodie to enjoy La Dolce Vita with DeliVita.” 

Last year saw sales boom for the premium brand as people were eager to make being at home work better for them by creating restaurant-quality food in the garden. This year is all about further enhancing and celebrating your outdoor spaces.

In 2020 - the pizza oven company enjoyed by celebrities and Michelin-starred chefs - saw sales more than double and orders this year are over SIX-fold what they were 12 months ago as the brand spreads its wings in international markets as well as at home whilst people increasingly look to add style and flavour to their outdoor living spaces.  

Each beautifully designed hand-built oven efficiently reaches a temperature of around 500°C in under 30 minutes but remains safe to touch on the outside, and weighing in at just under 30kg, the oven is portable enough to take your party with you.

Oozing kerb appeal, DeliVita has the artisan's influence and more than a little Italian style. Comprising a traditional handmade clay composite interior and stone base, coupled with hi-tech insulation, brushed marine stainless steel and a polished fibreglass shell, the oven is designed for optimal performance whilst withstanding the changeable British climate. Its portability further adds flexibility-meaning it is equally at home in a variety of outside locations, from the decking area to the balcony- even the beach.

Capable of cooking up to 40 authentic restaurant-quality pizzas per hour, it effortlessly turns into a modern BBQ, a hot smoker, a tandoor oven, slow cooker and even bakes bread. Retaining heat for hours, it can be used for a variety of dishes including pulled beef or slow roasting joints of meat. 

The DeliVita Oven – starting at £1,295 – is available direct from DeliVita or from selected national retailers such as John Lewis, Amara plus a range of quality stores, garden centres and outdoor kitchen designers nationwide. 

Joe Formisano adds; “I created DeliVita out of frustration that I couldn't find an outdoor wood-fired oven that didn't take hours to heat up and wasn't so heavy it couldn't be moved or wasted fuel. I wanted the oven to be efficient and eco-friendly plus it had to look good. It also has to be part of the social occasion so people can sit around while you cook. It needed to be portable and sit on a table top without burning.

“Our new Orange Blaze wood-fired oven is going to transform outdoor living spaces this summer. Its vibrancy and functionality will be celebrated and it will be the perfect addition to your social outside space as we begin to welcome friends and family back into our homes.”
