Pop-Up Outdoor Kitchen Ideas
Let’s be real - most people these days don’t have an outdoor kitchen. But that doesn’t mean you can’t entertain outdoors. Kids and adults alike love a good pizza party. Here are some ideas to create a pop-up outdoor pizza kitchen.
Here are my top tips for an outdoor pizza kitchen:
Keep it simple with an all in one propane fired pizza bbq unit. My favorite is the PizzaQue by Pizzacraft.
Any table will do! We used an antique ceramic top table. Just look for a nonflammable surface. Remember to leave yourself a bit of space to stage your pizza before and after the cooking.
Hide that tank. An easy way to make your pop-up look permanent is to hide the infrastructure. In this case, we popped our propane tank into a copper pot that was freshly cleared of our winter firewood.
Make it pretty. Surround your table with greenery to create a focal point and make your pop-up seem more permanent.
Add seating facing your guests and the pizza oven. That way between pizzas you can take a load off while you engage with your tribe. Don’t forget some comfy outdoor throw pillows and a blanket to keep it cozy.
Bonus Tip: Set up a topping buffet so guests and kids can get involved in the action.
Bottom line - if you are in a rental, starter home, or have a postage stamp yard don’t let it stop you from entertaining outdoors this season. Creating pop-up outdoor spaces to host friends and family will make the same incredible memories.
