Build your own pizza oven using a kit

If you're a fan of pizza and enjoy cooking outdoors, a pizza oven is a great addition to your garden or patio. A pizza oven allows you to create authentic, crispy pizza in no time. So why not build your own pizza oven? We offer many pizza oven kits that you can easily and quickly assemble to make your dream come true. But first, let's look at some steps to consider when choosing a pizza oven kit:

Plan the location: Choose a suitable location for your pizza oven. Make sure the ground is level and stable, and the oven is easily accessible.

Select your materials: There are different materials you can use to build a pizza oven. The best suited are clay and bricks. Clay is a traditional choice, but bricks are more durable and easier to handle. We strongly advise against concrete, as it extracts heat from the oven instead of storing it. All our pizza oven kits are made of pre-shaped brick components sourced from the traditional Valoriani Forni company in Italy. They are the highest quality pizza oven kits the market has to offer.

Assembly of the pizza oven kit: Assemble the pizza oven according to the manufacturer's instructions in the assembly manual provided by us. The kit should be placed on a stable, fireproof base. Do not use concrete; prefer Ytong blocks. Depending on whether you want to build the pizza oven kit as a freestanding dome oven or with masonry, planning a chimney should be considered. In the case of a masonry oven, you will need material for the cladding.

Install the burner: If you opt for a gas-operated oven, follow the installation instructions included with the gas burner. It is important to install the burner correctly to ensure safe and effective use. Have the burner connected by an authorized professional.

Curing the oven: Once the oven is completed, test it to ensure it works properly. Heat the oven gradually and check the temperature with a thermometer. The oven should be heated for several hours with gradually increasing temperature. This process takes several days.

Building your own pizza oven using a kit can be a rewarding challenge and a great way to combine your love of pizza and outdoor cooking. If you follow all the steps carefully and use high-quality materials, your pizza oven will last for many years and provide you with unforgettable outdoor meals. Here you will find materials for insulating the pizza oven.
