If you enjoy outdoor entertaining and cooking up a storm for your guests, then turn up the heat in your outdoor kitchen with the addition of a pizza oven. Although popular for cooking pizzas, these awesome cookers can also be used to grill, roast, smoke, barbeque, and even bake up some fresh homemade pies and bread!
To construct an outdoor pizza oven in your backyard, you may wish to hire a contractor, construct your own from scratch, or purchase a kit that will have most of the hard work done for you. If you chose to do it yourself, you will enjoy the fruits of your labor when you have your cool outdoor pizza oven as a focal point to your backyard… and some delicious pizza to enjoy with family and friends!
Turn your outdoor oven into a statement piece by adding a feature wall, a firewood bay, and even an ethanol burner to making cooking outdoors feel ultra-cozy. Whether you select wood or gas as your heating option, summer nights in your backyard will be a huge hit with your family.
You could bake, roast, or grill your pizza indoors, but it is much more fun to do it in the great outdoors! Have a look below for some fantastic ideas to create your own pizza oven.
