When VAT was temporarily reduced in 2020, we at Pizza-Ofen.de passed the benefit on directly and simply: rather than awkward interim prices in the shop, we offered a 5% discount on almost all products (courses excluded) via a coupon code. That saved customers even more than the 3 percentage points of the VAT reduction.
How we implemented the VAT reduction
- 5% discount across the range (courses excluded)
- Coupon code: MwSt5%
- Not combinable with other promotions
- Validity: valid until 31.12.2020 (promotion ended)
This kept shop prices clear — without interim prices — and you could simply redeem the discount in the cart.
Quick buying guide: how to find the right pizza oven
If you were new at the time (and anyone planning now), a few basic questions help narrow the choice quickly:
Heat source: direct or indirect?
Direct firing means flames or embers are burning in the baking chamber — ideal for pizza at very high heat. Indirect firing separates the firebox and the baking chamber, which can be advantageous for longer baking times and steady temperatures.
Location: indoors or outdoors?
Consider where the oven will stand. Outdoors, weather resistance and footprint matter; indoors, flue routing and installation constraints are decisive.
Mobile or permanently installed?
Mobile ovens are flexible in placement; fixed installations score on convenience and often offer larger cooking space.
Shape and material: dome or stainless steel?
Traditional domed ovens add character and excellent heat retention, while modern stainless steel ovens often heat up quickly and suit minimalist designs.
Capacity: how many guests?
Size the oven to your typical group. If you regularly bake for many people, you'll need more surface area and capacity.
Use: what will you bake and cook?
Pizza, bread, meat, vegetables or desserts — depending on your focus, pay attention to temperature ranges and available accessories.
