Introduction
If you’re dreaming of crafting the perfect pizza, roasting veggies, or baking fresh bread in your own backyard, you’ve probably looked into DeliVita’s stunning line of outdoor ovens. Known for their sleek design and impressive performance, DeliVita ovens come in both wood-fired and gas-fired versions, and both are available right here in New Zealand at Chef’s Complements.
So, how do you choose between them? Let’s break it down.
Wood-Fired Ovens: The Traditional Experience
For those who love the process as much as the food, wood-fired is where it’s at. These ovens bring a touch of old-world charm to any outdoor setup, and they’re perfect for creating that signature smoky flavour.
Pros:
- Incredible flavour from real wood smoke
- High heat for perfect pizza crusts
- A rustic, hands-on cooking experience
Things to consider:
- Takes a bit longer to heat up (around 25 minutes)
- Requires wood and regular cleaning of ash
- Slight learning curve for beginners
We offer some great options, including:
Gas-Fired Ovens: Convenience Meets Performance
If you’re after fast, no-fuss outdoor cooking, gas-fired ovens are a fantastic option. They offer precise temperature control and heat up quickly, making them great for weeknight dinners or spontaneous pizza parties.
Pros:
- Ready to cook in under 10 minutes
- Easy temperature control via dials
- Less mess, no ash to clean up
Things to consider:
- Lacks the smoky flavour of wood-fired cooking
- Requires access to a gas bottle
- Slightly different cooking experience (more hands-off)

So, Which One Should You Choose?
It really comes down to your cooking style:
- Go wood-fired if you love the process, enjoy bold smoky flavours, and want an authentic cooking experience.
- Choose gas-fired if you prefer quick, convenient meals with consistent results and minimal cleanup.
Whichever you choose, DeliVita ovens are built to impress: sleek, durable, and capable of reaching over 500°C, they’ll turn your backyard into the ultimate outdoor kitchen.
