Same here. I can't see mine costing me £2000. It's only a load of reclaimed bricks and sand and cement at the end of the day

Doesn't it all need to be special fireproof material though?
Heatproof bricks to spread the heat around apparently.
Looking around on the web 2-3K is a good benchmark mark figure

I don't see how, as I posted relief, the prices for parts isn't huge. And that was like first link of google. Sure it can be cheaper. But even that was 50p cheaper per brick than op.
Now found 1.50 per brick when buying in 200

Proper arch £45

Went to a BBQ over the weekend and some had one of these things made by himself
Just like the ones you see in greece/Asia etc etc. Truly awesome pizza's cooked in 45 seconds and tasted about 10X's better then Dom's or pizza hut.
Any fellow OCUK have one of these or thought about building one? This one cost the hose circa £2000
Good fun cooking on it though
EDIt pics for you

I remember there was one of these in the garden when I rented a villa in Sicily. Proper way to have pizza really.
Was freezing soon as you left the pizza oven!
Acidhell No idea Re cost of brick just what I got told , maybe quality of bricks or regional differences ? Unsure as I didn't build it but either way it was impressive in my eyes anyway
If you do build one can I have an invite please
Its got a big crack in it....(the pink oven)...
Not much can beat a REALLY hot stonebaked type oven for pizzas.
Its by far the best way to cook them. As long as there is enough heat coming down onto the topping side. Its got to be nice and even. If thats the case then you have a winner.
All these frozen pizza jobs in electric ovens are just plain laughable in comparison to freshly made stuff cooked traditionally.
Oh god.... im hungry.

does anyone have an electric pizza oven in their house ? Wondered if it could be used instead of a regular oven.
They didn't have special fireproof material years ago. They just used to pack sand and clay around it. That's the way I'm going to do mine. If it breaks - fix it

All the best to any OC members wishing to build their own wood-fired ovens in 2012.
They can be as cheap or as expensive as you want. A Clay/Earth oven is the most economical to build as most of the materials are below your feet. Detailed plans are easily found for free on the web and even downloadable e-books on plans cost less than a fiver.
Traditional fire-brick built Pompeii ovens will cost considerably more, but the refractory materials will cost a lot less than mentioned in previous posts. There are also specialist WFO forums who can assist in sourcing materials and will interact on any Wood-fired oven build.
You tube is also a good resource for seeing how these beauties are built.

I built one, cost me about £200 in materials and it's lasted 2 years. Absolutely great pizza/ naan bread/ roti on it.
Before than I used a pizza stone.
£2000 seems insane! How the hell did those ovens cost that much, if I saw them I'd be like "Probably cost about £400-500 inc labour"

£2000 thats a lot of wonga, looks good though!
Love the pics.
I've used a Weber Pizza Stone quite a few times, it always gives good results. Hoping to invest in a Weber Pizza Oven when they come out and i save up! http://www.bbqs2u.co.uk/284-weber-charcoal-pizza-oven-6520.html

Most standard bricks are fired at 900 - 1200 c so why you'd need 'special' fire bricks I wouldn't know apart from being sold something, maybe the arch, base and inner liner but not the whole thing.
Was talking with my father at Christmas about these he'd like to make one, I suspect we'll make it out of spare materials lying around and see how it goes, as usual the internet turns everything into a black art.

Do you have pics fella? Where did you get the materials and plans from?
Tempted to do one for a summer project.
