I built this with bricks from Lowe's. Was $65; took 16 minutes to construct. The pizza came out amazing, surprisingly good. Highly recommended.
What were the bricks that you used ?
@@thedestroyer3879 you should get kiln fired clay bricks.
Thanks for the first answer but i was also wondering what are the 2 flat stones
@@thedestroyer3879 idk just the biggest flat one they had. It's concrete ,not clay.
You use a certain type of brick and what are the slabs
1) Using regular bricks are fine, they won't explode or anything like that, they will just slowly degrade from repeated heating and cooling. Might take 50 or so heating/cooling cycles for this to be a problem but replacement bricks are cheap! However, use more expensive fire bricks if you want it to last indefinitely and can't be bothered to rebuild.
2) The big slabs should be made of an igneous rock like basalt, paving slabs should do the job, (basalt is called "bluestone" in NSW + Victoria, Australia), as concrete slabs aren't designed for continuous heating / cooling
3) Build up a big fire after you have built it then let it cool - this will highlight any major problems before you make your first delicious pizza!
I am still confuse for that big slab....I did not get It....what should I use....let me tell you what are the option I have
1.stone slab
2. Marble slab
3. Rcc concrete slab
4. Rock slab
5. Granite slab
6. Iron/mild steel slabs
Pls I am looking for the reply.
@@ashutoshdube6560 marble or granite is what u want
Granite is the best
How about just rocks from the woods? They are free.
@@marcdemell5976 well something flat is ideal i’d say but yet again those should work fine just don’t through your pizza on right away.
Crazy to see this is a legit, adult-approved thing now. I did this at a friend's house in high school around 20 years ago, almost exact same design. Just seemed logical. Used bricks and large pavers leftover from their DIY back patio. Friend's mom got mad at me for ruining the bricks. Later she decided it was a creative idea, was no longer mad. We didn't have a proper peel, just kinda threw it in as best we could. Pizza cooked super fast. Crust was always done before toppings. Oh well. Time to build another one in my own backyard.
I had the idea of making a Wood-Fired pizza oven and did not know where to even start. All these other videos are very advanced and require a lot of time and material. This is the best video I've found for a very basic yet effective wood fired oven. It's cheap, portable, and gets the job done.
Dont getbcancer form metel coating on your doug
Like non rust coating on red bricks. Pls google it
This design works. My buddy built one yesterday using the layout from this video, I made a batch of dough, and we made some awesome pizza. As you might expect, the rear end of the cooking surface is hotter than the front end, so we had to rotate the pizzas halfway through the bake. No big deal. Pizza top and bottom cook rates were pretty even. We earned the lasting admiration of women, children, and small dogs and had a great time doing it. If you can't have fun making pizza this way, you should probably just order delivery. If you have to nitpick everything about the video and/or design, you're taking life too seriously. Great idea, ChefSteps!
Life's to short to be worried about the finer points, just having a go is the point!!🤝👏👍
Nailed. It. Well said here & ditto
Well said. This man is giving up his time to provide a sweet affordable solution to wood fired pizza ovens and like you said trial and error till you get the perfect pizza. I'm loving this and can't wait to try it this summer
@Holly... It's 1:40am and started building this right now... STARVING and what better way than to enjoy a Saturday-Sunday middle of night!!!

Thank you for sharing these tips & tricks! The Prepsteaders channel recommended your video on how to craft a makeshift brick pizza oven, since she was doing an episode on how to craft a brick rocket stove for emergency cooking needs, and mentioned how to turn it into an oven, too.
When you're camping and you carried a ton of bricks with you, but you don't have a level, you can always use a cup of water!
I do love the traditional brick oven with all its possibilities, but, come on, you cannot beat this 30 minutes freaking nice pizza cooking thingie he made. Kudos for you dude!
That is exactly what I was looking for when searching for DIY Pizza Oven. There really are videos showing you how to make a pizza oven yourself that requires full metalworking equipment to weld a steel oven door. This is DIY in perfection and that pizza looks nice. Wouldn't mind to have less black spots on the crust, but still.. fantastic
I'm wondering if two wood blocks were too much? Maybe it would've come out less burnt had he let it bake for longer at a slightly lower temp?
I made this today with spare bricks and pavers around the house. This is the absolute BEST way I've ever cooked a homemade pizza in my life. Without a doubt worth it; you are AWESOME! The crust honestly came out just as good as my favorite pizza joint in Jersey. AMAZING 🍕
That’s exactly what we did at home. Friends tore up a brick patio and gave us everything we needed. Zero dollars. First R&D run and we made the best pizzas ever at home. We did three more rounds and then took it on the road with the Boy Scout troop. We were the hit of the big event. We made 16 pizzas in the rain and nearly won the chopped competition out of 12 troops! I can’t wait to put it back up and make more. Cheapest and best thing I’ve ever built. Ugly but wonderful.
How long did it take to heat up and cook a pizza ?
It took about 25 minutes to heat up the the oven/paver enough (650F+) then about 8-10 minutes to cook each pizza.
@@006guitarplayer that's fast
..thanks
How did it hold up using old brick? Did you use any brick with holes in them?
I built this and use it regularly. My kids and I have fun making the dough and building our own pizzas.
I have been looking for a video that would show how to build an easy pizza oven. I can build this myself and for a low cost! Thank you so much for sharing! Love it!
We made this improvised pizza oven this weekend and it
turned out really really good. I used 25x12x6,5 cm bricks (standard here in Slovenia) and 60x40x5 cm chamotte plates - the ones that get installed into pizza and bread ovens. It took around an hour for plates to heat up. They are all natural, so no worries there regarding health safety. The plates are also heat resistant as they withstand really high temperature in real ovens. Next time I will try to get two plates closer together by 1 cm so pizza will cook even quicker. I will do this by installing just one line of bricks, laying them on their sides instead on laying them flat. Instead of 13 cm high I will get 12 cm. Chamotte plates cost around 30 € each but are worth investing if you plat to use it more than once. After all you can install them into real oven, but that is another story and another diy project! Cheers ChefSteps!
If only we could find chamotte stone plates in the US. Another channel that built this oven with no credit to Chefsteps had a crack in lower plate before first pizza.
@@robertbrewer2190 To get the chamotte stones I had to find a specialist, I am shure there is one in US :). Regarding the crack - I am no expert, but I would say that the "stone" was to thin to take so much heat directly or maybe it was moist.
Svetovno! Razmišljam o podobni zadevi - a vam funkcionira ta design, uspete, da se ne bi dno preveč speklo, glede na zgornji del pice? Hvala!
@@damjanmarkovic452 sicer smo to do sedaj izvedli samo enkrat, amapak je bilo uspešno. Dizajn je pravi, pizza se je enakomerno zapekla oz je bila pečena z obeh strani. Tako kot sem navedel v zgornjem komentarju, bom naslednjič obe šamotni plošči poskusno dal malo bolj skupaj zaradi same hitrosti peke. Srečno in uspešno!
@@Acofodo hvala za odgovor!:) Mislite se da spraviti pečko na 400+ stopinj, da bi bila pica pečena v manj kot 2 minutah?
I will have to try it this summer! I can’t get enough pizza and have always wanted to try making pizza in an outdoor pizza oven! Also, that burnt bottom is the best! Great video, thanks!
The best oven DIY video so far. Easy technique, precise, good presentations and the final product. Enjoy show much. Thank you.👍
Him: "How the bottom looking, wow, looking good."
Me: "nope"
You are right . That wasn’t “ leopard “ spotting of the crust . Maybe he needs to add another layer of bricks from the flame to the cooking surface
@@KeithMichael0804 Yeah I'm not an expert on pizza but I am an expert at burning things so I know a burnt food stuff when I see it lol.
@@KeithMichael0804 My thought when i saw it, it's either to close to the fire or he should have waited a bit before starting to cook his pizza
@@teddingtonbear3265
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
That wasn’t leopard spotting...that was panther spotting
LOVE when they talk about pizza, pizza is my love
Love the......Pizza is my Love! Me too. PASSIONATE!
many thanks for this video. We made our oven following this video and it is absolutely perfect. We use it to cook pizza and also have a barbecue with burgers too. This is the best home build pizza oven on yourtube
probably the best video on a brick oven. Simple, cheap option
Great build! Just a warning to everybody else... You absolutely cannot use just any brick from the big box store. They must be lead-free. Also, cement - or conglomerate - blocks can definitely explode when they are heated. Be careful, y'all!
Great advice. What are the stone plates for the pizza to cook on and top? A fire brick runs $3.18ea (locally) so if he is making it out of 47 plus mortar and two large flat stones I cannot see where his pricing comes from to be under $50. It's a great idea but someone is gonna get hurt.
I can't imagine the amount of lead transferred onto a pizza crust by briefly resting it on a stone would even be measurable, much less harmful.
GadBoDag I’m more concerned about those bricks just exploding actually
No mortar. Stack and go. Longevity isn’t the goal. This can be set up and deconstructed pretty easily. The only consideration I did was to put my regular cordierite pizza stone on top of the paver. It is smoother and food safe.
@@GadBoDag The bricks exploding, due to heat, is what Ben is trying to explain. With the heat being @750 degrees is why he brought that up. I'm no lead expert but please report your findings after 10 pizzas in this setup. The lead may not, or may, show and a simple blood test at a med facility will cover it as proof. My question is how the suggested unit will last over that same time. Can "big box store" bricks endure the temp swings? My experience shows they will not because I used some in support of a firepit and of the 6 used 0 are left.
THANK YOU!! I wanted to make it a easier way and you brought me a easy way. I have this stuff in my house now! I’m excited 😆 🍕 🔥 😋
I built this , screwed it up the first time but once I learnt what to get right it turned out amazing ! Thanks heaps for your video ! It's been a dream to make pizza like this at home
I made a slightly modified version of this and tried it out today, worked surprisingly well, even though I was just using small sticks of leftover wood. So I had a hard time maintaining temperature, but even then I got a good puffy crust and some spotting in the bottom. So should be even better with proper hard wood and a bigger fire. Thanks!
May I ask how you modified this version?
@@gregordejaco1287 It's been a while now, but I think I made the vent in the back bigger, as a result of a bit of trial-and-error. Also, I think ours is a half-brick bigger, because of the size of the slabs we bought? Something like that. I still have this set up in my yard, and make a neapolitan pizza every so often, but since I have a bigger family, one thing that's hard here is making a lot of pizzas in a row. In a real pizza oven there's more room, so you don't have the "cool spot" issue. But this certainly works for a couple pizzas!
For our family, we usually use 2 pizza stones in the oven (alternating between them), and a NY-style dough (that is, with oil), and cook them for 7-8 minutes at a time. Usually we make either 6 or 9 12-inch pizzas (each pizza ~210g), one after another, but we've occasionally done 12 if we have a lot of company. Super fun Friday night meal, every month or so.
Found firebricks at Lowes - more expensive (about3.50 each) but seems to be the best approach. Looking for Bluestone for the flat surfaces or equivalent (ceramic may work - handles higher heat).
I cannot wait to try it. Thank you for the vision.
I love the 8 bit ending music.
Can't wait to build this. Thanks for the great content.
Saw this in the morning🤔
I have the bricks so why not !
Made it in the afternoon
Super happy with the results kids also loved the new pizza oven.
We are keeping it 🤗
Thank you chef.
Great idea and zuggestions/modifications from the comments as well. Looking forward to making one with a taller fire pit. I LOVE wood fired cooking and enjoyed it as I traveled with the military, I have always said I was going to build me an oven and believe I will start with this set up. Thanks for the idea,,,
Get a portable metal such oven table. They have them so u can set hot coals on them an build this on to of that
Thank you so much for this. I'm totally building this next werkend
wow! great pizza oven and the pizza cooks really well, didn't even get burnt. Tomorrow I will also try to cook like this
Great video and thank you for stating the supplies. Most videos skip that. Looking forward to building it.
This is awesome! I've been thinking of doing the same but always wondered why no one else has done it. Weekend pizza project.
After watching your video last night, I built this from debris from our house that burnt down a couple of years ago. Thank you I am so excited to bake something. It's been 2 years without an oven. Your awesome for making this video.
Lmao 🤣 @ your house 🏠 burning down

i´ve just stopped by to said this is an awesome and cheap solution video for those with low resources, love to watch it ! my bless for u!
WOW! It worked! Great video thank you so much! I spent $66.59 (2 - 18 X 24 X 2 step stones, 47 - 7.75 x 4 x 2.25 standard bricks and 50 lb.bag leveling sand)
and took about 30 minutes to level and construct. This is the best Neapolitan and also Gluten Free pizzas I have made yet because of this "hot rod" pizza oven!
OK but where did you get the recipe to make the pizza lol that’s where I’m struggling
@@steviealvaalbany2730 th-cam.com/users/vitoiacopelli is the best I have found!
I'll make this for sure
Ok
I am totally doing this. Thank you for posting this.
Thank you so much for sharing, I have plenty bricks in my backyard and also firebricks from my old storage heaters. Can not wait :)
I think if you want to make this food-safe, you need to (at a minimum) put something over the concrete paver, for example a pizza stone or pizza steel. I'd be surprised if the pavers are controlled for toxic metal content, since they are not expected to be used for cooking. Another idea would be to get a scrap of granite slab, which would cost around $200 for a 16x24 as shown, or maybe to cast yourself a lower slab from refractory cement. Either way you are looking at some $$, but not as much as a full blown permanent pizza oven.
I’m asking about this on main thread
At that price point you are beyond DIY on the cheap.
@@hefeibaopizza stones are $25 here in Canada. Very reasonable for DIY
I'd say at a minimum to be safe, get a pizza stone or 2 and put your food on that. Not too keen on putting my pie on a concrete slab that has God-knows-what in it being heated at such a high temp. Great vid overall and looking forward to giving it shot someday!
When using your brick oven so it doesn't turn out black and burnt you must continue to rotate it a quarter at a time every couple minutes. Since surface block seems to crumble cement bits on bottom of pizza it would seem wise to either use a screen or an actual pizza stone. I love the concept of your creation, man. Absolutely genius and easy to make on a budget!! Great video :)
Using a pizza stone makes a lot of sense. Think I would prefer that to it going onto a concrete slab.
You used cement block ? cement is poisonous :D
This is Epic, thank you for sharing your experience and ideas, definitely we will make it.
close ups of the finished bubbly pizzas look oh so delicious..yummy..fabulous!
Def safer option for a non electrical enginger like me! Plus my mom won't kill me for trying to mess with the oven.😂 I love Alex and ChefSteps for all these cookin hacks!
hello young one, please be careful as these bricks can explode. regular bricks are not made for dramatic temperature fluctuations. if you can get your hands on firebrick, please use those instead
Very good!! Esxelent work!! Very nice the music. Could someone tell me the name of the flamenco songs? Thanks
Do u mind sharing ur dough recipe?
Thanks
Great video! I made a pizza oven today using bricks and pavers, however I used tile pavers instead of brick and my bottom paver cracked at 265 F. I see you’re using concrete pavers. I’ll grab some of those ASAP! Bon appétit!
PLEASE DONT USE CONCRETE PAVERS
Why not?
Very simple and easy to do. Thanks for sharing.
Best best best diy project I've seen ever. Im building one today. Thanks for this wonderful idea
As a professional, commercial, real-life bricklayer (mason) I lost it when he put the level across his cute lil dry stack diy brick "foundation"
I like what he did here, that's a pretty ingenious little outdoor cooking setup. I liked this video and will be passing it along to all the various folks that don't understand that they really don't need or want, nor can they afford an actual brick and mortar outdoor pizza oven.
mitchelldbarnes serious question: if I am to make this semi-permanent, what kind of bonding material do I need? Or does it even require bonding at all?
I figured if there is no seam between the bricks, it can be more efficient?
Nanorisk I think if you tightly stack actual fire brick this sort of oven will be adequately semi -permanent. Readily available common or paver brick will eventually crack and then fall apart under repeated heat stress, but refractory ceramic fire brick can handle pottery kiln temperatures and are very uniform in shape so they stack tightly and lock together quite well without mortar or any other bonding agent if you start with a smooth flat foundation. If you stack em’ up as tight as you can I think your pizza oven will stay put indefinitely. Just don’t hit it with your lawn mower...
What's the cost you typically quote them, and the biggest driver?
@@mitchelldbarnes Is there a risk in regular bricks exploding? or just cracking and falling apart? Are fire bricks more prone to damage from moisture and freeze/thaw?
@@jmurphy6767 Yes!... and Yes!
Heat Slowly to drive the moisture out then you are good to go!
Awesome! My dad and I made a killer pizza oven in our backyard for $500 worth of supplies. Compared to other ovens, that's pretty cheap and it makes awesome pizza but I still wish I would've known about this.
th-cam.com/video/_p_3iuEAGbk/w-d-xo.html
Made this pizza oven with bricks and edging found on my properties. Only purchase were the slabs. Been cooking awesome wide fire pizza and corn on the cob! Amazing
That’s easiest and best one I’ve seen, well done and I will be making one
This is the most rewarding video without getting too fancy with chemistry equipments and its basically fool proof
I'm from Sweden and I need instructions from ikea
In the end we get some Lego instructions graphics, lego is Danish so you know barely understandable. But we might be able to make due
Self-deprecating humor is the best!
Just buy a few extra bricks so you have parts left over.
Don't think particle board and wood dowels are ideal for a wood fire oven 🤣
It is for firewood :)
This is amazing I build this design on breeze blocks for extra high I but a small oven tray in and can now get 2 pizzas in I've also added a few bricks on the top and made a proving area for bread fantastic job
Did it and it’s awesome. Thank you very much.
i got this amazing video recommended to me , So thank you TH-cam Algorithm
Yeah, I would line the inside with fire bricks. The moisture inside the bricks and concrete slabs can kinda explode when exposed to high heat, but very cool idea.
Super cool! Thanks so much for this build!!!
This looks like alot of fun. Gonna have to try this
I love the simplicity and usefulness. I would just need to engineer a way to get it off the ground! I don’t want to be on my hands ‘n knees tending the fire. Also, having a counter on one or both sides would be a big plus!
I was just thinking a few layers of big cinderblocks as the base and lay down a layer of those big bricks so the cinderblocks don't get too hot, THEN build this. A little more expensive, but better than crouching.
This is so cool
Such a great video! Also I loved the animations at the end! Pizza looks amazing!
We made this a family project on this beautiful New England weekend. It worked perfectly and cost less than $50. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hello, what type of material did you choose for that rectangular slabs?
@@yuragimla8258 I'm sorry I don't remember. it's in this video though. I got them from Lowe's / Home depot (same thing as far as I'm concerned) outdoor garden department and they were extremely heavy. But they tolerate the heat very well.
years of playing will legos have led me to this moment
LOL YESSSSSSSS!
I built this oven with some friends a couple weeks ago. First time firing pizzas was just ok. Second time, we used almond wood and that made all the difference! Pizzas cooked in about 5 mins. Bottom was perfectly crispy, crust was fluffy with a good bite. Toppings came out just right. They were some of the best pizzas we have ever had!

I like this guy he describes it well a simple oven but he presented well
Who likes burnt pizza 😀

How come you dont have your account verified!!! Crazy
Plz don’t encourage this stupidity, gna end up with a face full of red hot brick pieces
@@jajajajajaba2148 what are you talking about man? The myth that red bricks explode ? Because that’s simply not true, do your research.
With all honesty, you keep making mistakes in your videos and pizzas your presented are bad. For that reason I did not suscribed, even if I am home cook who became pro.
This opinion of yours that this is epic only comfirmed my view. Do not take this as a hate speech, but take it as challenge to become better.
How about all the chemicals used to manufacture those concrete slabs? Will they transfer to the food with that high heat?
Thank you for the idea!
This oven is the best. Pizza comes out so well.
I built one of these this summer! First couple didn’t turn out so well but last set I made I totally wreaked the first one with to much smoke and the second one literally cooked 8 minutes later was perfect! It’s a fine line between to much smoke I find, any tips appreciated!
Make sure your firewood is quality hardwood and well seasoned.
Cool idea! However, with regular patio bricks it will likely be a one maybe two time use. Unless the bricks are thermal rated, they will break down under the intense heat required to reach pizza oven temps.
Mine did. I get about 2 rounds out of the cooking paver.
Awesome video, I like the fact that you can even cook on top !
Wow! A home made pizza oven that's completely doable. Thanks!

you need to eat one of these pies yourself dude. I worked a beautiful wood fired oven and we had pies going in and coming out in 60 - 90 seconds each; if it wasn't right he would just make another one happen and it would take less than 5 minutes. And seriously, if you don't know this guy and this channel very well, he is quite the exacting stickler for excellence, and you would do well to not think you know better than him.
thorhale Cannot take one joke? Obviously youve read but decided stick to the first half of my comment. Ive had brick oven pizza like that before, and it’s phenomenal. This is looks delicious, and I said in the second half of my comment, I WILL try this and I said he did a great job. I guess you missed that part.
@@thorhale that's not a good wfo pizza, period. It's burnt, not charred. And it's easy to see why. I haven't watched his channel, but this absolutely it not excellence.
This beautiful ideas how it's pizza oven in your backyard..amazing
So I built this in my garden for about 35$. (Just the large Stones and some sand). In Norway that is really not much as costs here are HIGH compared to, well, anywhere. The bricks I just scavenged as you can find left overs anywhere, and you don’t need many.
Now I’ve tried quite a few commercial pizza ovens for garden-area/space-use ranging between 600-2500$, and I have to say this is by far the best - Even in the fast & dirty just-stack-some-bricks-version.
If you actually Seal the cracks (i lack the vocabulary for proper stone masonary in english as I am Norwegian, but I trust you to understand what I mean; "if you build it properly") it is a true ruthless pizzamaschine rivalling the heat of all the seven hells!
Best home made pizza. Ever.
I remember when I worked pizza station and oven at my old restaurant job. the burns on our arms, the sweat on our heads, and the rush of the kitchen- oh the memories!
remember how you'd eventually make arm pasta by the end of the night with the combo of sweat and the flour from tossing dough? It's a good chunk of my gig now, and I love it!!
Now you got me hooked, down to hardware shop to buy the metarials.
Loved the dog at the end just waiting for eating time 🤣🐶 and thanks for this video! I am trying it as soon as the rain stops!
Absolutely beautifully, i am the Pancake guy and I will be building this tomorrow morning this is the ideal thing for family and friends in the summer to enjoy the life that you live. The children will love this and will use it also, BRILLIANT for great memories.

Stop it!
Great vid, especially for newbs that want to begin simply and inexpensively. But I do have a few questions: 1: How long will it take for the fire to get up to temp? 2: How many fires will the concrete slab tolerate? 3: Have there been any updates/mods since this video aired? Finally, I'm wondering about how much heat is compromised without using the "dome," and whether you've adjusted the size of the rear vent (and the front opening) to gain maximum efficiency and a balanced top/bottom burn. Thanks!!!
Around 40 minutes from when the fire really gets going. And it depends on the concrete slab, I suggest getting basalt but a regular old concrete slab from Lowe’s could last around 50. And no there haven’t. You don’t NEED a dome to make pizza. This oven gets plenty hot to cook one very fast and personally no I didn’t adjust anything, simply wasn’t necessary.
@@shadowpanther298 Where do you get basalt from? Certainly not any old big box store like Home Depot.
Genius, thanks a million.
Exactly what I was looking for..
Absolutely genius!

Lots of concern here with concrete exploding from heat. Good to know that this is a thing.
That stated, looking into what temperatures are needed, it appears those temps are in excess of 600-1000 C or 1100-1800 F. Also has to do with how much moisture is in the cement. It appears the biggest concerns are in tunnels where heat can be trapped.
Cracking is more of a concern. Over time, they will definitely crack.
