pizza oven

If you want to cook just one pizza, it might take a while to heat up. 

My friend has an add-on for his gas BBQ and it cooks them very well in the matter of minutes.

It's a great idea for a project though - you might have to invite a few friends around!

Hi,

I have one I built years ago, built using some ideas from the following book. Used normal solid clay bricks halved, dome is approx 1m rendered and then re bricked with slips over the top for effect.

Not only Pizza but roasts too, use it for cold smoking along with a small smoke generator. 

It's a nice project to have a go at but does take some time and effort but results are well worth it.

Cheers

Thanks for answers folks, I have that book jloc some great ideas there, the above vid although a bit long looks to be a very good way of building one.  

It is my intention [has been for years] to have a pizza oven fuelled by our own SRC willow, it would be an occasional add- on to our existing bakery business.  at the least it should be interesting, if not a money earner

I built a small one if you want to do pizza in it just a clay one is fine if you want it to stay hot for a while it’s al about insulation I work in the refractories industry making concrete for lining furnaces ladles etc etc so I got all my own stuff to line and insulate mine free.. I can warm it up in a couple of hours have pizza then cook dinner in it the next day but that’s all I need if it was bigger I could keep it warm for a week... but the pizzas are the best you’ll  have  we use a pizza ready flour called mc doughalls or something like that it’s a just add water but nice and saves a lot of prep

build it out of brick cover it with mud or concrete..........wood fire inside until searing hot...............stuff the bloody pizzas ...wrap lamb in baco foil...or do the same for fish........:good:

leave a few smokey embers/ash in whilst cooking.....and when you stuff it in block the hole up.........

Personally owt but ash as I think it’s bitter better with apple or oak it all depends on the depth of smoke you want really I’m just smoking some pork shoulder a with oak at the min

You need alumina cement and use vermiculite it’s cheaper

I made one using perlite and cement plywood board and exercise ball method

works great 

Will use foundry cement  next time because it can take higher temps than Portland cement but in costs more

I have one, but bought from Gozney ovens rather than built.  It is a fantastic thing, not very spontaneous granted, but then again neither is proving a pizza dough.

Beyond the obvious making of pizzas I use mine for loads of stuff from low and slow roasts to searing hot flash fried steaks cooked on the oven floor. Lots of different bread bakes too.

If you make it the right size and shape like the Italians do, you can use as a bread oven.  I personally love wood fired oven cooked pizza and foods. A few local food places are using them. Bread out of them has a crust and taste like no other oven baked bread. 

If you have a bread business you could bake your bread and pizzas at same time.
