Final step we put a skin of common splits which are thin red clay bricks which we then waterproofed.

The pizza came out fantastic with no sticking. I brought it up to temp, then cooled it down a bit. About an 8 minutes cook time. My wife and daughter were amazed and that makes it all worth it!

From Scott Tomasello,

A friend of mine sent me this website’s plans. Another friend and I completed the pizza oven in a little over three weeks. We modified the plans, made the oven larger and put a lot of rebar mesh and angle iron into the slabs and walls. The cost of my project was around $750 she is a beautiful piece of work money well spent.

Please if you’re willing provide me with the modified/larger version plans. Is there a step by step version for newbies?

Thank you so much!

The larger version has been built by Scott, a reader, using his own modifications. I have no step by step plans for a larger version, other than the ones that are already on the site.

From what I see in your photos the usage of fire bricks were for deck where the fire is built. To make it a longer lasting oven would you recommend fire bricks to be used to line the entire firebox including sides, top and bottom.

Daniel if you are looking at my pizza oven the entire Dome is made of fire block and the chimney as well the only non fire bricks are the slumpstone underneath the fire deck in the skin of common splits. SCOTT
