Building a pizza oven takes time, energy, patience, money and resourcefulness. It will take you more than a weekend to complete. One way to cut back the timely process of resourcing the materials, is to buy a pizza oven kit but these are expensive (upwards of $2000). These can be purchased from small businesses online such as TradeMe or from larger pizza oven kit distributers like Authentic Oven in Tauranga. The cost of a DIY home built and resourced oven is less than buying a ‘ready-made’ or kit, however to get real value for money you need to try and find your materials for cheap or free and this could be the difference in paying less than $500 or upwards of $750.
The following booklet explains how we made our pizza oven. We gained information and ideas from a number of sources and brought them together to create our own product. Internet resources we used often for motivation were Forno Bravo (who make pizza ovens and sell pizza oven kits), The Shed Magazine, ‘Pizza Oven Pleasure Renewed’ Feb 2008 on ISSUU and You Tube Video ‘DIY Wood Fired Pizza Oven Construction New Zealand’ by dunkpaula as well as a number of other blogs and forums online.
