ALDI Ireland shoppers are sure to love a new item in the middle aisle that will cook up a delicious dish at their summer parties.
The bargain supermarket is set to stock the shelves with a range of outdoor cooking staples and one of them is set to be a major hit.
The new BBQ Gas Pizza Oven is priced at €89.99.
Aldi Ireland’s chiefs said: “Cook up a storm with a pizza party and impress your family and friends. Show off your favourite toppings combinations and enjoy.”
It is crafted with a powder-coated steel exterior and comes with a double-wall design to retain heat inside the cooking chamber.
The listing reveals that it can be equipped for 15,000 BTU heat output, reaching over 900 degrees.
The pizza oven also comes with a built-in thermometer.
And it has a cordierite pizza stone to ensure the pizza is properly cooked in the cooking chamber.
Those worried that it wouldn’t be stable for the garden will be glad to know that it comes with non-slip rubber feet.
The pizza oven comes with foldable painted steel legs and can be packed away in a carry bag, making it easier for travelling outdoors during summer.
However, there’s a significant catch: shoppers would require a gas cylinder of propane from the petrol station to fuel the cooker.
This could charge shoppers an extra €20 or more, totalling €110 for both items.
It comes with a three-year warranty.
It will be available to purchase in stores nationwide from Thursday, 11 July.
However, shoppers are warned that it may be a sell-out due to the peak season for BBQ and summer parties.
FOLDABLE BBQ
The range is also selling a Foldable BBQ for just €12.99.
The cooking grid has a diameter of 290mm, meaning it provides plenty of space to cook your delicious bites on the grill.
It does not require a gas propane cylinder, as burning coal or wood is needed.
The BBQ comes with three foldable legs, including springs, making it perfect for all your travel and storage needs.
It will be available to purchase in stores from Thursday, July 10.
THE HISTORY OF ALDI
The German discount supermarket chain came to Ireland in 1999.
Aldi’s first few shops opened in November 1999, with locations in Sandyford, Dublin, and Ballincollig, Cork.
By the mid-2000s, Aldi bosses had opened numerous stores, focusing on providing high-quality products at low prices.
As the recession hit 2008-2012, Aldi’s popularity grew as consumers became more price-conscious.
The supermarket giant continued it’s expansion in Ireland between 2013-2018, while refurbishing existing stores.
By 2018, Aldi had over 130 shops throughout the country.
The chain began to focus on expanding its range of Irish-made products and supporting local producers.
In 2023, Aldi had over 140 stores in Ireland.
The store invested in sustainability initiatives, such as reducing plastic packaging and increasing the availability of organic and eco-friendly products.
Aldi chiefs said: “At Aldi we are committed to supporting Irish suppliers. Developed in partnership with Bord Bia, Grow with Aldi is designed to help the very best Irish suppliers develop their brand.
“To date, we’ve invested €10 million in our Grow with Aldi development programme in a bid to find the very best Irish suppliers.
“As a result, for a limited time only there are over 47 new products, from 27 Irish suppliers available in store.”
Aldi have introduced technological advancements with self-checkout systems and contactless payment options.
