For many homeowners, the idea of having their own wood burning outdoor pizza oven is very appealing, but few people know where to begin. Everyone likes the taste of an authentic Italian style pizza cooked in a brick oven over the coals of burning wood at a super high temperature, resulting in perfect crust that is crispy outside, and chewy but well done throughout, yet the same people often fail to consider designing and building their own perfect outdoor pizza oven. As it turns out, this is surprisingly easy to do. As a project, it could be finished in two partial weekends, or one very concentrated and devoted one.
Here is a video showing how to build a Pompeii pizza oven in your own yard. Imagine having your friends over for a Saturday evening party involving tasty wines and other drinks, a festively appointed patio, and the alluring smell of a real wood fired pizza being cooked right there amongst yourselves. Entertaining is one of the many great joys of home ownership, so check out the project below and see how to get started building your own.
