I’ve watched dozens of DIY videos and by far this is the best-looking design. The way the chimney flue wraps back over the dome and topped with an old-world pot spark arrester is just art. The chamfered arch entry is (pizza) chef’s kiss. Well done man.

I’ve built 3 of these ovens over the years and there is a million steps, it’s over whelming, when people ask is it DIY friendly? I say no, from knowing where to source materials to the actual time it takes. Just for the oven it takes about 40/50 hours to make, let alone the stand, and everything else associated with it.
@@VinnyGjokaj I agree with you there, it is very time consuming. But I’ve seen some quite good DIY ovens built (and some bad ones). It’s a very satisfying thing to do though
@@SamDaviesBuilder I watched a video just today on one that is arched but not dome shaped. It seems more doable for a novice like me, but I still love the shape and design of this one.
Great work. A wonderful home project. I can cobble together the refractory bricks, but what kind of cement do I use which will resist the heat? Will regular Portland cement be okay?
Thanks! You need to use Fondu cement, silica sand and fireclay if you are mixing your own mortar. It’s easier to buy tubs of ready to use (just add water) mortar to lay the bricks with though
Thanks! Yes it was a lot of work but worth it. Make sure you subscribe to me as I’ve just started another pizza oven, first video of the base is already out
Amazing build I want to build one but have no space in the corner anywhere so I build one on wheels with barrel also insulated. I use venturi burner (DIY)
Thankyou. Make sure you watch my new series on my channel of building another oven, it’s going to be an even better one! (Plus it’s for myself this time!) 😃
It’s called an ‘indispensable tool’ and it’s just made out of a castor wheel off a trolley attached to a bit of wood with angled metal on the end to hold the brick in place
Hi, thank you! I used the following materials....(some I have't got quantities on as customer supplied materials): Firebricks Ceramic blanket Ceramic fire board for underneath the base bricks Mortar mix: Silica sand, fondu cement and fireclay mixed together. I think it was 3 sand, 1 fireclay and 1 cement Mesh wire to go on top of ceramic blanket Perlite mixed with cement as first coat on top of ceramic blanket Another coat of perlite with cement but this time with a bit of sand too to give a finer finish Any other questions please ask away!
I've been laying brick & stone since I was a teenager working with my dad and brothers (and some sisters). I've only built two ovens and they were both in kit form. Im 61 now and still working full time, i believe it's time i biuld one of these in my backyard. I've used some radius points laying stem walls for different foundations but the one you used to build the inner firebrick dome was really fun to watch. Is there a specific name for it? I've watched some other videos similar to this one and honestly they were somewhat painful to watch. I'm happy to say this wasn't one of those videos, nice job!
Thankyou for your kind words and please share some pictures with me when you complete your oven. This oven was for a customer, I plan on building my own this summer. I’m not sure of the name of what I did for the inner dome but they call the arm an ‘indispensable tool’ - I think it’s just an oven builder’s nickname for it though! Glad to hear you’re still working full time, there’s something relaxing about laying brick and building stone walls (the nice jobs anyway!)
Not sure how many fire bricks. I will be doing one in the future with a list of all materials. On this one I used silica sand and fondu cement to fix the bricks together, ceramic blanket as insulation, perlite mixed with cement as the layer on top of the insulation and then sand and cement render as the final smooth coat. Hope this helps!
Not sure on total cost sorry as it was for a customer. You’d need an angle grinder and possibly a cement mixer but you could do it without one just be a lot of hard work!
Calcium silicate board. If you go on my channel I’m doing a series on how to build a pizza oven and the latest episode is doing the firebrick floor and the insulation below it
Great advice, Thank you very much Sam! 🤙, is the ceramic insulation the white material you laid the fire bricks on and wrapped the dome in I’m assuming it is. I will be doing a video similar to your however my version will have lots of F’s and Geoff’s in whilst kicking bricks 😂.
Yea that's the ceramic insulation, there's a rigid version for laying the bricks on and a flexible version for outside the dome. The rigid vision for under the bricks is called 'calcium silicate board'. Ah I think all pizza ovens have a lot of F's and Geoff's built in to them , all my versions have!!
@@SamDaviesBuilder well, if the hot air with smoke is to be discharged I suppose chimeny should be on the opposite side of the opening, but perhaps this is not usual and the intent is to circulate hot air inside before being exhausted. Then the chimeny should be on the left or right side, I'm really confused.
@@SamDaviesBuilder Thanks, Yeah I’ve not done brick laying before or any DIY on this scale besides paving lol. So I have been collecting the various things I’m going to need before I start. I’m planing on doing a pizza oven, bbq and griddle all into one unit so 🤞 it work out, in my head it looks great 😂.
@@rob280967 what’s on your materials list so far? I’ve got a load of stuff ready for mine and I’m planning on doing a bbq on the side of it too 😃. Can’t wait for that first meal with it done!
@@SamDaviesBuilder Hi Sam, So I’m trying to do it on a low budget however if it’s a specific product or tool needed I will buy it. So I have 700 London bricks 550 cream 150 red probably more than I need, 12 concrete blocks, 4 bags of cement and 12 bags of builders sand also some liquid you used in your video on how to make a small mix. Tools for laying and cutting bricks, level, brick ties for my own peace of mind lol. Once I get to the level of laying the pizza base I intend to make a circular frame for the concrete base. Then lay the fire bricks on top then commence the dome. Did you use fire bricks for the dome it looked like you did?
Nice job, whats the size of the base? And approximately how many bricks were needed to complete the whole oven please reply. If you can share the blueprints of the design. It would be helpful. Again, remarkable work!
Hi, thanks. I don't have any measurements or how many bricks I used I am sorry - this oven was for a customer and he supplied everything. I am building my own oven this summer and I will keep a record of everything so please subscribe for when I do.
Great job .my advice to anyone building an oven is to make your chimney flow as big as possible so the smoke escapes from it rather than from the front
Thanks for the tips! We did actually open up the chimney a bit more in the arch with the grinder as we found the smoke came out of the front a bit as you said

What a great build!!! Can I ask the amount of bricks you had to use to build the oven - with the "entrance". I mean "firesafe" bricks? Thanks again for shearing this video!!!
Thanks! Sorry, I don't know the exact amount as the customer supplied the bricks. In the future I will build my own oven and do a video with all the material amounts on it!
Polystyrene melting at 210-250 C degrees. Maybe before it had some pollution of chemicals. Didn't the pizza taste weird? I'm not being mean, just wondering.
Sorry I haven’t got quantities or measurements for this one but I’m doing another one this summer. I will film it and have a full breakdown of the important bits!
The tool I use is a trolley wheel that can rotate, you take the wheel off and then just bolt a piece of wood onto it. You can then mount the the trolley wheel in the centre of your oven floor. Something like this wheel: www.screwfix.com/p/select-heavy-duty-swivel-castor-40mm/6748P?kpid=6748P&ds_rl=1244072&gclid=Cj0KCQjw9deiBhC1ARIsAHLjR2AhqSPeAMhF_Fl1EdvmfjgnEQQKIoX8S1cCyov0Ovhex8K57PFRrW8aAgB-EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
Nice build. With that dome height, you have any issues with getting enough heat from above? I see a lot of Italian ovens that have a squashed shape inside so the top is much lower. Trying to learn what kind of difference that makes.
I think when I do one again I will do a squashed shape like you say on top as from what I have now seen that seems to be the better way to maximise the heat in the oven.
Yea it worked well, we have plenty of room to the side too so was ideal. We didn’t want too much more depth in front of the oven as it’s hard to get close if you need to then
Hi Jason, I used a ready made mix suitable for firebricks and also I made my own using fireclay, silica sand and fondu cement mixed together. Check out my latest pizza oven build series where I give more detail on a lot of it: Pizza oven build series ruclips.net/p/PLixDvbC9fGKNI3cUipOqO-93f6O2Gi2pD
It’s called an ‘indispensable tool’. It’s a castor wheel with a bit of wood attached to it and a bracket on the end of it. Very cheap to make! All the stuff is available in any good diy shop
Realy nice work! Beautiful! But i think, if you hadn´t used this styrofoam under the firebricks they would lay more stable and wouldn´t sink down like they did...
@@SamDaviesBuilder oh, my bad! I thought it was, because some stones in the last scenes where a little bit up and down... although you did a fantastic job! Thumbs up!
I think this is around 1100mm diameter inside. Roughly! Make sure you check out my latest build series here: Pizza oven build series ruclips.net/p/PLixDvbC9fGKNI3cUipOqO-93f6O2Gi2pD
Hi, so the diameter is 1040mm (that is inside of the oven). Not sure how many bricks as customer ordered them but once I build an oven for myself I will do a video with all costs and quantities on.
Yea if you cook pizzas one evening then put a door on it, you’ll still cook meat, bread etc the next day without anymore logs. I’m doing my own pizza oven so check out the series on my channel, it’ll be better than this one!

@@SamDaviesBuilder that's great. Awaiting 😊
Semplicemente un'opera d'arte
Sei stato grandissimo bravo

What is the masonry tool called that you are using to hold the radius and guide the build?
It’s called an ‘indispensable tool’ and it’s just made out of a castor wheel off a trolley attached to a bit of wood with angled metal on the end to hold the brick in place
Of the made-by-a-mason pizza ovens, this is definitely the best on utube. @Sam, any chance of a listing of the key materials and the mortar mixes ?
Hi, thank you!
I used the following materials....(some I have't got quantities on as customer supplied materials):
Firebricks
Ceramic blanket
Ceramic fire board for underneath the base bricks
Mortar mix: Silica sand, fondu cement and fireclay mixed together. I think it was 3 sand, 1 fireclay and 1 cement
Mesh wire to go on top of ceramic blanket
Perlite mixed with cement as first coat on top of ceramic blanket
Another coat of perlite with cement but this time with a bit of sand too to give a finer finish

Also you’d have a bracket on the end of the piece of wood so the brick can sit against it
Oh ok! I get it! Thank you so much!
How much for all the tools to build it?
Do you mean the materials or the actual construction tools?
Nice build. With that dome height, you have any issues with getting enough heat from above?
I see a lot of Italian ovens that have a squashed shape inside so the top is much lower. Trying to learn what kind of difference that makes.
I think when I do one again I will do a squashed shape like you say on top as from what I have now seen that seems to be the better way to maximise the heat in the oven.

Yea it worked well, we have plenty of room to the side too so was ideal. We didn’t want too much more depth in front of the oven as it’s hard to get close if you need to then
How much does it cost?? I live in Colorado
Difficult to say as it was for a customer. My next oven will be for myself so I’ll do a full cost breakdown

How much day it take
Not sure, I will keep note of the next oven I do for how long it takes.
Work of art
Thanks Peter! 😃😃😃
Nice oven. Pizza and dough making skills however Less said the better.
Very true! 🤣
Beautiful 🤩
Thank you! Cheers!
Did you put vermiculite/cement mix over the ceramic insulation?
Hi, yes I did a vermiculite/cement mix. When I got to the other layers I used perlite and cement. The perlite was easier to use as it’s finer!
If you don't mind telling us how much vermiculite into the cement and how much perlite into the cement ratio did you mix
@@mike11807822 hi, I did 6:1 ratio on both.
translated: I want to build the same. How big is your stove? How many bricks are needed?
Hi, so the diameter is 1040mm (that is inside of the oven). Not sure how many bricks as customer ordered them but once I build an oven for myself I will do a video with all costs and quantities on.
Impressive! It took you only 8 minutes! The oven looks fantastic, but you have to work on your pizza skills man hehe
I totally agree with you with the pizza skills, I guess I can only improve 🤣🤣
How many days and hours total??
Honestly I couldn’t give you an exact answer. But I’d estimate 7 days for all the work you see in the video
Amazing. Thanks for sharing
Thankyou
Nice oven, the pizza itself probably needs some work. But you'll get there in time.
Thanks, yes the pizza can only improve 🤣
@@SamDaviesBuilderuse Vito lacopelli’s double fermentation poolish dough recipe. You won’t regret it 👌
@@Squicken thanks Joel :)
What is the recipe for your pizza dough?
It was shop bought, I cheated 😬
Ok thank you. Great job on the build
Thankyou @@craigmoore3062
Fantastic. Great Job
Thanks so much 😃😃😃
Nice Job, now you must learn to make pizza
Challenge accepted 😃
Amazing build though. Seriously
Thankyou 😃
green olives on a pizza is what i just watched.
😃😃🤤
Boa tarde , muito bom parabéns .
Thankyou 😃👍✌️
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers! Keep an eye on my channel as I’m doing a new pizza oven, part 1 and 2 are uploaded already
You’re the best.
Thanks 😃😃🙏🎉
@@SamDaviesBuilder you’re most welcome
Damn dude! That thing's got to retain heat like a mf 😂
Yea if you cook pizzas one evening then put a door on it, you’ll still cook meat, bread etc the next day without anymore logs. I’m doing my own pizza oven so check out the series on my channel, it’ll be better than this one!
impressive.
Thankyou 😃😃
A dome out of bricks is impressive, not just "nice work"!
Thankyou! Anyone could build a dome with a small amount of practice though
