Move over, barbecue. This summer’s bringing laid-back vibes with easy pizza party menu ideas and next-level cooking speed from the Ovana Portable Pizza Oven!
Now those blissful longer days and balmy evenings are back, it’s the perfect time to gather your friends and family, and our homemade pizza recipes are the perfect easy, breezy crowd-pleasers.
By the pool. In the backyard. At the beach. You can take your portable Ovana Pizza Oven wherever the party’s at. And in your kitchen, you’ve got your trusty Thermomix® slicing time off your pizza party menu prep, giving you more precious moments hanging with your guests.
Get the party started with the best homemade pizza dough.
Thermomix® homemade pizza dough is the stuff of restaurant-quality legend. It beats store-bought pizza bases for taste, texture and price, floured-hands down. It lifts your dough-making skill up to VIPizza master level without the need to practice your kneading techniques for hours before you can roll out your pizza party menu.
- Search ‘Pizza Dough’ on Cookidoo® and follow the guided cooking steps using Thermomix® Dough Mode. You’ll have it prepped in just 5 minutes.
- Make sure you’ve got the secret ingredient in your pantry – semolina. It makes for a lighter, fluffier dough and a crispier crust!
- Allow at least one hour to prove your pizza dough. Make ahead the day before and store it in your fridge using our Pizza Dough Proofing Boxes – a no-hassle, less-waste alternative to disposable clingwrap.
Prep your homemade pizza toppings
Your Thermomix® can shave a whole lot of time off grating, slicing and chopping your toppings too. Those blades grate cheese to perfection in seconds. But add the Thermomix® Cutter to the mix and it’ll evenly slice your mozzarella, parmesan, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, capsicum and the lot, cutting your prep time down to a matter of minutes. And when your vegetables are sliced to a nice even thick or thinness, they don’t just look prettier, they’ll cook more evenly too.
Fill a ready-to-go pizza station as you go
We’ve found one clever pizza party prep station that’ll keep your kitchen benchtops clutter-free and your party crowd happy with easy access to all their favourite toppings. No need to cart out stacks of individual containers, just fill up the Food Prep Station as you prep, pop it in your fridge and take it out for an instant homemade pizza station ready for eager fingers to help themselves.

Pizza recipes for beginners and seasoned masters
The secret to crispy-fresh make-ahead salads
Here’s another game-changer that’ll keep your make-ahead salads as fresh, tasty and crispy as the day they were made. Our Vac-U-Seal containers are the healthiest, quickest and easiest way to store your salads and keep any leftovers from going to waste too. You must try this easy make-ahead Warm bulgur salad with orange dressing topped with yummy grilled halloumi and pomegranate for an extra pop of summer colour. And the Mexican corn salad is a winner from last Summer’s Thermomix® Everyday Magazine. Look out for the next edition coming soon.😉
Our favourite Pizza party sides
The Tandoori chicken side dish cooks beautifully in the cast iron Ovana Sizzle Pan, designed to harness all the incredible high heat in the Ovana Pizza oven to perfectly sear the meat. But more than just a side, you can also use leftovers to make one of our favourite homemade pizza recipes – Tandoori chicken pizza.
Sweeter pizza party menu ideas
If all you and your party guests want is’more pizza, then this S’mores pizza recipe is a must, but if you're looking for something different, homemade waffle cones, cups or bowl desserts are winners with the kids. Whip up a batter in your Thermomix® and roll out a batch with the Waffle Cone Making Kit.
Then it's time for you to relax. Raise a chilled Mojito to summer and enjoy one of those boozy icy poles you prepped earlier for the adults.
