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.
