Bit of advice from a qualified and experienced bricklayer, when putting the wooden former in play put a wooden wedge that is about 5mm thick under each corner, that way when you come to removing the arch template all you do is remove the wedges and it should easily pull out of place rather than having to dismantle it in the video like this, also use fire bricks, not engineering bricks as shown in this video and the latter will shatter under heat!
thanks for the tips!
Hey Joe can you use any type of mortar will that also become a cracking issue from the heat ?
😂 LOL 😆 LOL
Their chef skills saids it ALL.
I'm lazy so I would have removed the mold by burning it...
Who puts cheese on first?
Lunatics
Probably the most horrendous looking pizza I have seen...cheese base , a few gobs of sauce and a couple basil leaves...my god they should have that oven taken away
Chicago pizza enthusiasts
@@MrKikoboy We might need to have a pizza night lol bc I swear by this recipe too! I've converted many a "cheese first" haters. lol Thanks for watching!
white people
All this work to put the cheese on first and sauce on second
You gotta try it! It's so good!
My thoughts 😂😂😂
OMFG WHO MAKES PIZZA LIKE THAT
ILL PRAY FOR YOU
When you have a really hot oven, the cheese will burn- under the sauce it won't
Sicilians actually
@@sableann4255 and lots of other people
Where’s the link for the “capstone” that pizza oven is resting on?
Was just about to ask that same question...it looks to be granite.
Thank you from UK 🇬🇧 stay safe
Great video and very easy to follow! Thank you I will be building one in Chiang Mai, Thailand
Loved the idea, looks simple for my upcoming oven project, don't know if watching one is the same building it :)
Thanks for the video! Loved the design
Good tutorial to help give people an idea of what to do.
Personally I'd make the dome and opening smaller. Morter the concrete blocks and tidy up the mortar inside the dome.
Thank you for posting.
I agree.
With regards to the size of the opening, yes I agree that its too large for Pizza. Maybe bread would be better. if you decide to build on one for yourself, a quick fix would be to: 1)Measure opening as they did. 2) Find center on plywood but before attaching nail measure down 6, 8 or 10 inches and hammer in the nail in a pc of wood, then attach string and go to the edge and draw your arc from that position. You will get a shallower arc which will reduce opening size. Cut out as shown in video.
that looks amazing!
Great job. Awesome we'll explained video thank you🙂
With the fire in the back and the front opening so large, isn't heat loss a problem? Most ovens have a longer front and have part of the inside of the oven with a dome covering to keep heat in prior to the opening. Doesn't seem right.
I built one in this barrel style a couple years ago. I realized soon after that I should have made my total arch lower to keep that heat closer to the pizza as you are correct that large opening does not help. I ended up covering a third of the front (by taking fire brick and making it come down from the top two brick widths). It helps as a buffer to keep heat from rolling right out the front at the top and also helps with the draft. A door is also helpful on these. I have a metal one I had made with handles that I put up in place while heating it up to temp, or after cooking some pizzas to build heat up again, or use oven to slow cook something after main cooking is complete. Not sure how long their oven will last or how hot it will get without extra insulation in base below fire brick or insulation outside the oven walls. Not sure that red clay brick would hold up over time. My chimney has a flue and firebrick around it and gets super hot. I used same size firebricks they did for the floor and dome, then insulated it with ceramic blanket held in place by chicken wire then rendered. The decorative red clay bricks I used after all that to make it look nicer. Brick wood ovens has the best free plans on net for DYI’er. Though I do like how they made the wooden form for their dome. I used inch styrofoam (4 pieces) cut like they did their plywood, then I taped together a bundle of door shims made of wood so it looked like a wooden set of blinds. I used these to connect and drape over the styrofoam to create my arch form. Their idea looked much better and more sturdy.
The opening is 100% too large. The interior should be larger inside than the opening. The opening should really be large enough for the pizza itself and some airflow for the fire. Designs such that the fire surrounds the pizza providing even heat around the pizza is a much better design. I wouldn’t build this.
Imagine making a whole pizza oven to put cheese first and put sauce on top
You need to get out more
sauce in the bottom makes the pizza soggy because when the cheese is on the top, it prevents the moisture in the sauce to escape.
That opening is HUGE!
What did you use for a capstone?
Thanks for the video, cant wait to do this with my wife.
The only thing you do not list is what is the cap stone. Unless I missed it.
This video will definitely inspire me to build my own pizza oven! Especially considering a pre-built one cost over three grand. I just wish the video was slightly more detailed but overall I got the gist.
Great job guys👍
Looks great...very informative
thank you!
Where did you get the capstone from? I can’t find it on the Lowe’s website
I had to make it myself out of concrete
Great video, thank you. I am rebuilding my stove at home, and I noticed in this video, you sort of skimmed over how you built your capstone. Did you build it yourselves? Like a poured cement table top? Thanks
Well vented design!
"You don't want your seams to line up" 2:50 "Ummm..."
And I see this has been commented before, but damn that opening. The smoke almost shows that you really don't need a chimney at all as it's all coming out the front. That said it's a nice project, and for someone who's not a professional pizza oven maker it's a really good first try.
Should place wedges under that wood arch then pull the wedges out the arch will fall and slide right out.Also that will not last the way its built you should use fire brick for the entire dome as that standard brick will Crack and burn out fast. Spread your motor and butter the heads as you lay the brick then you won't have to point anything afterwards.
Thank you!
Nice, simple design
Tip... Use untreated wood ... Instead of removing the mold.... Just light it on fire.... Seen an Italian do that one time 😉
This is really cool
We built this last summer and it works fine. The only change was you build the fire in the middle and let it burn down, push the coals to back and the sides and then bake. Works great
Has the clay bricks cracked?
@@thedestroyer3879 -No
@@thedestroyer3879 hasn't cracked because it's a fireplace that can't get as hot as a true pizza oven.
How did you do the back? The video doesn’t show it. :)
where do I find a capstone like this? I can't find anything of this size.
Strangely cool
Very impresive
This is what I believe ❤️
Amazing!
Professional 👍🏼
What a great looking pizza oven! Not to sure on the pizza, but oven looks awesome. We bought a metal one last year and have to say it pretty crap. Will definitely be making one like this summer time. Cheers
I wouldn't recommend following this guide, personally. The opening is so large that you won't be getting proper heating that would allow for the massive heats required for a proper pizza oven.
How did the "oven" work out for you?
Check for level, sure. But there's no bed material, so what do you do if it isn't level?
Thanks 👍
The cap stone wasn't listed in the materials.
Love this project!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥 🍕
Level level level level, that’s a no brainer
Good work
Was that a prefab capstone?
The really big Paverstone that you used to build the dome on is not listed
Hello! Love your video. My husband and I are hoping to do something like this in the backyard. I didn't see a link to the capstone you used in your item list. Can you provide that link? Based on your video, it sounds like it may be 36"x36", but I'm not seeing anything that size. Thanks!
I was looking for the same thing
Props for actual using respirator, eye protection, and gloves. The negative is that the interior looks messy. Looks like chunks of mortar are going to drop on my pizza when cooking
Can you show us how you laid the bricks on the back wall of the oven please? We can’t wait to make one!
I was just going to ask the question, but I think you literally going to have to cut the bricks to form the dome shape
You should watch more videos, you will change your mind.
I’ve built a circular fire pit with some half moon pavers, I did not have to cut a single paver. Or concrete paver
Just curious about the opening of the oven area, does this mean the top of the curve to the firebrick is 13.5" tall x 27" wide? Just verifying. Thx in advance.
I can almost guarantee that oven doesn’t get hot enough to cook a pizza in 90 seconds like it’s supposed to
That’s a fireplace that occasionally cooks pizza lol. That’s the hugest opening on a pizza oven I’ve ever seen.
Nobody needs to cook a pizza for 90 seconds....good grief...I make mine in 4 mns....but yes, your point is one I also noted....lots of heat loss
@@alexzabala2154 dude...you don’t know what you’re taking about. The thin crust Napoleon style pizzas cook in a 900 degree oven for 90 seconds. Who does that?...only the Italians for the last few centuries. But go on...
Lol.....I suppose
Does it matter? You'll still get pizza quickly and it doubles as a fireplace.
How long does it take to bake a pizza? If someone did this for you about how much would it costs? (labor)?
I meant where can I find a capstone of 36" x 36"? Do I have to make it?
Great video! What is the slab made of?
Where did you get your capstone? I do not see that listed below. Thanks for your video!
That was my question as well.
I’m thinking it was obtained at a landscape supply place. I don’t think Lowe’s sells stones that are 36” x 36”
my question as well
Where did you get the Kapstone
you do not show a pick of the back wall. did you complete it after the dome or did you course it up as you went?
It looks like a huge opening, will it retain heat?
And the capstone? Don't see that in the materials list.
I had another question... With the two half moon pieces you made for the form of your oven, couldn't you turn it into a "door" to keep the heat inside? Like glue two pieces to each other and use a 6" piece of wood, screw it to the middle of your door and use it as a handle? I just wonder if it is best to keep the fire enclosed, like an indoor oven. Thanks for this video! Nicely done and looks amazing! BTW, I don't care how you make a pizza 🍕, it all gets eaten 😋 😋 😋 😋 😋
Usually, you'd want to keep that opening open to allow air to enter the oven. Without it, there won't be enough air to enter the oven and it'll snub out your flame. Plus cooking a pizza near a flame like that wouldn't take too long to cook so there's no real worry about losing too much heat. Just remember to rotate your pizza while it's cooking to make sure it's even.
@@KurryKaiser ok, I guess that makes sense. And ooh, yes, didn't think about rotating it... Thanks, good idea 💡!
just made a pizza in home made pizza oven
so damn good.
where did you get the 3 x3 cap brick ?
Capstone? Where did you get the capstone
Since it’s high up could I build on my wood deck?
Brilliant video. You were well presented and your advice and tips was welcomed. It looked stunning btw, I’d love to spend an evening by this, listening to the wood burning and crackling, being with friends. Ahh, one day..
Hello Laura, how are you doing?
How many bricks did this take to make, pavers and how much concrete? Also refractory concrete holds up too 3200F regular holds up to 300F so be careful on what you use.
That’s the perfect example of how NOT to do it! Well done yanks 😂👌
can regular clay bricks work instead of the fire brick?
How do you correct it if it’s not level as you’re building?
Many of us asked where to get the capstone and no answer. Why did Lowe's skip that critical material?
What’s the back of it look like? They never show their workmanship on how they did the back of the oven.
What type of wood is the one you used in the video? What type of wood is supposed to be used for food? We are making a pizza oven with my husband and not sure what type of wood is used for cooking pizza? I noticed yours were like thin planks of wood. What are they called?
You want to use hardwoods, just like they use in smokers. Don't use softwoods like pine or cedar. Traditionalists use oak.
Where did you get the capstone
No detailed info. on the capstone? (e.g. - size, stone type, thickness and where to buy?)
A basic price would be helpful too. Looks great. I have also never seen anyone cook with a fire still going in the oven, just like I have never seen anyone put the cheese on before the sauce.
Welcome to the pizza world
They're flipping really stupid. I've seen Much much better without cutting
Go to a brick oven pizza place and watch them cook a pizza.
I have a video on my channel - “Blaze Pizza”. Cheese first, fire is deep in the oven
where can i find the 36x36 cap stone??
How is the back finished? See no mention of bricking it...
Damn thats crazy..
Orders pepperoni pizza from Dominos
Dominos? That's almost as sad as Little Caesars. Find yourself a real pizza place!
Cap stone material, cost and availability ?
It’s almost there. Line the inside with fire bricks. Reduce opening with more red brick. Add a door. You’ll get those Neapolitan temps no probs then.
Where do I buy the capstone?
Do I need to get a permit to build one in my backyard? I live in Kansas
What was the approximate cost of this project?
Is there a total for the cost for the materials like the bricks and mortar?
Where do you buy the Capstone???
What size is the capstone?
The mouth of the oven is way to big and heat will easily escape making the front part of your oven colder than the back, you want to keep the heat in. Also, did you use refractory bricks or regular bricks?
What did you use for your capstone and where did you get it? Do you have a link?
I had the same question, did you ever find out?
How do I get a count on the number of bricks needed?
Can I build this on a deck? Or does it have to be on bricks / ground line they show in the video
That’s likely far too heavy of an oven for a typical deck
you didn't post a link for the capstone? Is that something that Lowes sells?
Yea I don't see them sold at stores. You can build one easily out of concrete. Just make a rectangular mold and fill it with concrete, then screed. Also you can take it a step further by adding steels grids and insulation blanket in the mold before pouring.
Ram ram❤❤❤
How was the back wall of the oven built?
Neat idea for inspiration but that opening would render the chimney useless as it’s so large. The materials list is great and thanks for the time points too. Good video
I thought the same thing, what's the point of the chimney.
Is your "topstone" in the list of parts?
My friend built a pizza oven with the fireplace under the done and ran a pipe thue to heat up his pool. Pool got to 90 then we had pizza.
Can’t find a 36 x 36 capstone anywhere including Lowe’s…..
Step 1: Get a brick oven plan.
Step 2: Buy materials.
Step 3: Spend 5 weekends building oven.
Step 4: Order pizza from Dominos.
