Argos and Ninja have reduced the price of the Artisan Electric Outdoor Pizza Oven & Air Fryer by £70, bringing it down to £229.99 from its regular retail price of £299.99. The device, which can cook a pizza in approximately four minutes, is currently well stocked at Argos, though stock is low on Ninja's own website and is described as 'likely to sell out'.
Features and Cooking Functions
The outdoor cooking appliance offers four functions: Pizza, Bake, Air Fry, and Prove. According to Ninja, it can cook a pizza in three minutes or less, but reviewers report that four minutes is more typical—still significantly faster than a conventional oven. The oven accommodates a 12-inch pizza or baking tray, six chicken breasts, or 1.3kg of French fries. It comes with a 12-inch pizza stone, a 30x30cm bake tray, a pizza peel, an air fry basket, and a quick-start guide with recipes.
Customer Reviews and Ratings
The product has earned an overall customer satisfaction rating of 4.7 out of 5 on Ninja's website. One user commented: “Owing to the great British weather, we only managed to use this yesterday. What an amazing product. Easy-to-use, delicious pizza in about 4 minutes. Fingers crossed the weather will be on our side, and we will get more use out of this over the summer.” Another pleased shopper said: “I love all my Ninja appliances, and I have a few. This one is amazing, cooking perfect pizzas in around 4 to 5 mins, even browning, without overcooking. We use a variety of pizza bases, like the pre-made rolled-out ones from the supermarket.”
Not all feedback is entirely positive. One customer noted: “Great pizza, but you need to practice, and then the pizzas are fantastic. As an oven, it works well. As an air fryer, I thought it was a bit slow. It could be a bit easier to clean out, but don’t let that put you off. You definitely need a cover if you leave it outside.” Another reviewer added: “Been debating whether to get one of these for a few months now, I’m so pleased I did, wish I’d got it sooner. It’s so easy to use, and the pizzas are delicious, so much nicer than takeout.”
A further customer remarked: “Wow. I’m not often impressed, but this was so easy to use and delivered great pizzas. Not used the other features, but absolutely love the pizzas that it cooks.” A final reviewer stated: “Really easy to use and makes great pizzas. Absolutely great bit of kit.”
