That oven... so sweet! I've worked with brick ovens and the like a bunch in restaurants (past life), but for a home oven, that is TOP NOTCH!

Or mine! I love making pizza. I started out of “necessity” two decades ago being an east coast pizza guy in the former “good pizza desert” known as the American west. Not the case anymore. You can find decent pizza all over now. As a pizza snob, I can think of 4 solid spots on Bainbridge Island alone. The good stuff is generally not cheap though. I still make it every Friday for traditions sake, even with so many options available.

This is one of my favorites. Not my invention but I sure love it

Cheesus H Christ
Heavy cream
Mozz
Tallegio
Bake it
Parm
Black pepper
And honey
Maybe a little chili flake

It’s basically a cacio e pepe. It’s unreal.

Ladies and gentlemen, THAT is a pizza oven. Would be totally at home, not only in homes, but in all the pizzerias that proudly declare "forno a legna", in this fair land where I live. Bravissimo!

The ones with the holes in the bottom on the stand when serving. Keeps the bottom crust from softening up

I wish I had the skill set to build something like that on my patio. Dumb question but relevant to me since I live in a wooded lot with lots of critters around; is there a way to keep mice/squirrels out of you oven when not in use ?

Good tip on the pan!
You can make a door and rig some sort of chimney cap.

If I were to say, ever have a vacation home/cabin and wanted an oven but didnt want to take the 200+ hours to build it. I would get one of these. I've never personally cooked with them, but had has pizza cooked for me with them and been around them and they're legit.
They take some getting used to, but they make some damn good pizza.

They work well...
 
Being a west coast WA native, I'm not a pizza snob. I like a combo with lotsa' stuff on it. Pepperoni, salami, sausage, onion, mushrooms, olives, green pepper, extra cheese. All on a thin crust; that way I have room to eat an extra slice. Farrelli's seems to be the best locally, and the large size is $27 or so. On the convenience front I'm impressed with Papa Murphy's thin crust combo, and it's only $18. If only pizza were a health food I would have it 2 or 3 times a week!

I too am impressed with Papa Murphy's. Good crust, good tasting sauce, proportions and balance of flavors are good also. Not like Dominos where they pile 'it' (whatever that is) on a tasteless sauce and 5 minutes later it is 'done'.

No disrespect, but where did you buy such expensive pizza ? I can think of only one place like that and its a mob run cash only joint in Chicago.
 
All this talk about Pappy Murphys I had to go investigate. The girls wanted pizza today so I got a family sized, 16$. Pappy Murphys is VALUE so much pizza I had to cut it in half to fit in the convection oven at the shop. VALUE.

@FontinalisFin so did the girls like it?

For a value pizza what did you think of taste and crust?

It is not an artisan pizza and does not represent itself that way either...

Yes, it was ate with vigor. The younger pickier one didn't eat the ham but that's because she needs things cut up bite sized. The crust was nice and crisp, sauce had good flavor, good proportions... I got no complaints.
