Here's how to get involved.
PIZZA PARTY: Outdoor entertaining is simple and fun with your own pizza oven – and can be an affordable alternative to a meat-heavy barbecue once you have the gear.
Head to Aldi tomorrow as the discount supermarket launches a special buy gas pizza oven for £69.99 — that's around £200 less than a similar model from Ooni.
Another option is a barbecue pizza oven that can be added to your grill.
The George Foreman BBQ pizza oven works with gas and charcoal models and is down from £64.99 to £47.99 at Currys.
MIX IT UP: You can make an easy base using just two ingredients.
Simply combine 250g of Greek yoghurt and 250g of self-raising flour, mix well and it will be ready to roll into shape.
Or for a more authentic Italian-style version, add 7g of dried yeast to 325ml of warm water for a few minutes until frothy.
Gradually add the yeast water to 500g of strong white bread flour, mixing and then kneading until you form a soft and springy dough.
Cover the mix with cling film and a tea towel and leave it to rise for at least two hours.
I lost 150 lbs - my air fryer 'pepperoni pizzas' are a favorite, they're just 170 calories and ready in four minutes
You can then divide the dough into four equal balls, each of which will create a medium-sized base.
TOP IT OFF: Once you have rolled out your base, pop it in the pizza oven for three to four minutes.
It will then be ready for toppings.
If hosting a party, lay out passata sauce, mozzarella and a few other toppings such as pepperoni, ham and some veggie options.
Each guest can then have fun topping their own base as they like.
Once assembled, pop the pizza back on the grill for another few minutes until the cheese is melted.
