FAQ About DIY Pizza Ovens
If you use one of these tutorials above it can cost as little as $100 or build a high quality one with inserts for up to $4,500.
This isn’t even disputed! Brick oven pizza is just better because the brick heats the dough more slowly than steel and allows the whole pizza to cook simultaneously.

Good day Andrea.
We have a home built pizza oven but are very unsuccessful at making nice pizzas. We have discovered that the base of our oven is normal cement and does not retain enough heat (no matter how big our fire) so our pizzas are only cooked from the top and not the bottom.
Do you have any advise on how to solve this problem?
Regards
Natalie

You will need to put down fire bricks on your oven floor to retain the heat.
