Aldi has announced that its sell-out pizza oven that absolutely flies off the shelves every time it goes on sale is coming back to UK stores.
And it’s just in time for the temperatures to soar this spring and summer.
Known and loved by shoppers nationwide for “delivering delicious restaurant-style pizzas” at a fraction of the price, the BBQ Pizza Oven first went on sale in Aldi stores back in 2022, and has been in high-demand from pizza lovers to return ever since.
Described as being “practical and compact”, the oven sits atop of your regular barbecue and is compatible with both gas or charcoal grills.
Thanks to featuring both a high-quality ceramic pizza stone and an integrated thermometer, this means anyone, from the self-professed pizza professionals right through to the cooking rookies, can chef-up a 12-inch pizza in just 10 minutes flat.

Aldi says shoppers can even “save themselves some serious dough” too, as this spring and summer essential is on sale for 55% less than an equivalent product at Dunelm, so there’ll be no need to part with that extra £49.
Aldi’s BBQ Pizza Oven will only set you back £39.99 when it goes on sale this week.
Available from this Thursday (21 March), and landing in the classic ‘Specialbuys’ middle aisle section of Aldis across the UK, shoppers looking to feast on hearty pizza while the sun shines will need to be quick if they want to get their hands on one though, as it’s expected to sell out fast, just as it has done in previous years.
And, as is the case with all Specialbuys, “once they’re gone, they’re gone”.
If the BBQ Pizza Oven sounds like a pizza you (pun very-much intended… regrettably), then you can find the opening times of your nearest store on the Aldi website here.
The UK Aids Memorial Quilt is set to go on display across Wakefield this summer.
The quilt - consisting of 42 quilts and 23 individual panels, representing over 384 individuals affected by HIV and AIDS - will go on display at WX Wakefield from Thursday 4 to Sunday 7 June 2026.
All 42 quilts will be on display, with WX working in partnership with the UK AIDS Memorial Quilt Conservation Partnership.
Across the same weekend, selected individual panels will be displayed at different venues across the city including The Hepworth Wakefield, The Art House Wakefield, Theatre Royal Wakefield, Pontefract Castle and the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
Part of the world’s largest community art project, this is a huge opportunity for the city of Wakefield. The project started in the USA back in 1985 by activist Cleve Jones, commemorating friends, family and loved ones lost to AIDS.
Individual panels were then stitched together to create larger quilts, which were shown outdoors as a form of protest to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS.
Today, the quilt stands as a crucial reminder of those who were lost and of the continuing affect that HIV and AIDS has on the people of today.
At WX Wakefield, viewing the quilt is completely free and on Friday 5 June there will be a special late night opening up until 10:30pm to view the exhibition.
And on Saturday 6 June at 2:30pm, there will be a very special and poignant reading of the names of those commemorated on the quilt.

Leeds’ first frozen yoghurt bar is opening in Headingley this weekend
Clementine Hall
The frozen yoghurt craze is on its way to Leeds as Kefiyo is set to open in Headingley in just a few days.
It's a phenomenon that has caught the attention of the TikTok and Instagram girlies as of late, with frozen yoghurt bars popping up in Manchester and going viral online.
The ice cold sweet treat is supposedly 'healthy' and with a slogan of 'eat Clean. feel Light. live Better.' - this new spot in Leeds seems to be going down that route too.
Kefiyo will be opening in the old Sixes site on Ash Road in Headingley, and they've just announced that they'll be soft launching this Sunday 19 April 2026.
The space is already sporting a super cute pastel green and pink exterior, and it's exactly matching the aesthetic that you'd expect with froyo.
Kefiyo will offer a range of frozen yoghurt flavours with a whole bunch of toppings for you to customise to your tastebuds, as well as fresh acai bowls.
Situated slap bang in the centre of Headingley, we've got a feeling it'll be very busy with students on their way to their morning lecture or at night for those looking for a sweet treat that doesn't feel too naughty.
We'll keep you updated on more Kefiyo updates as and when we find out.
But in the meantime, you can keep an eye on their socials here. We'll see you soon for a scoop Leeds.
