When people want to make their own pizza, they often resort to using an oven, stovetop, or microwave.
However, that can be a somewhat frustrating experience because it’s difficult to get the crust just right without trapping too much liquid or burning it in spots.
A diy pizza oven is a great alternative for people who want to make their own pizza without all the trouble with ovens and toasters.
I wanted a pizza oven for a long time, but they were expensive and I was not sure if I would use it enough.
One night I walked into my garage and found some old metal sheets that my dad used when he fixed vehicles. That is when the idea of building an oven from scratch came to me…I finally decided ‘F’ it, let’s do it!

Build Steps
1. Decide on the shape and size of your oven
This is probably the most important decision that you will make when building your DIY pizza oven. You need to think about how much space you have, what shape you want the oven to be, and how big you want it to be.
You also need to take into account the thickness of the walls. The thicker the walls, the more heat they will retain, but the more time it will take to build.
2. Dig the foundation
This is where your oven will be sitting, so you need to make sure that the ground is solid and level. You can use a shovel or a pickaxe to break up the ground and then use a hose and a bucket of water to help with mixing the mortar.
3. Build the foundation
Once the ground is prepared, you can start building the foundation. You will need to use mortar to attach the clay, stone, or brick to the foundation. Make sure that the walls of the foundation are level and that the corners are square.
4. Add insulation
Once the foundation is finished, you can add insulation. This will help to retain the heat inside the oven. You can use a variety of materials, including fiberglass, mineral wool, or cork.
5. Build the oven wall
Once the insulation is in place, you can start building the oven wall. Use mortar to attach the clay, stone, or brick in place. Make sure to leave enough space so that you will be able to add another layer of insulation.
6. Add the second layer of insulation
Once the first layer of insulation is in place, you can add the second layer.
7. Build the roof
The roof is probably the most difficult part of the oven to build. You will need to make sure that it is very sturdy and that it can withstand the heat from the oven.
8. Add the door
The door is also an important part of the oven. You will need to make sure that it is very sturdy and that it can withstand the heat.
9. Paint or seal the oven
Once the oven is finished, you may want to paint it or seal it with a sealant. This will help to protect it from the weather.
