  • Hello from Calgary

    Starting my 36" pizza oven this spring, and have started exploring the FB forums again. I suspect I will be here a bunch in the months to come.

    Hello back, I just joined and if timing works will build an oven this summer.
    How did your build go? How is your oven holding up?

      Build is still ongoing, had to take a pause in late last summer, but back at in now that spring has arrived.

      The incomplete oven was covered with a makeshift cover of plywood and though plastic sheets. I will be seeing guidance if the forum later when I get to exterior finishing, to plan best exterior to survive the snowy winter plus Chinooks here in Calgary.

        Hello David from Calgary, .. I am David from Kelowna, BC. Did you finish your pizza oven yet? Upload photos to share. Us canucks have to build things a LOT more over-engineered to withstand the crazy freeze - thaw climate, don't we ?!? I made four vertical Sono-Tubes filled with concrete and R-Bar followed by a pad of 5" concrete once these sono-tubes of concrete became all set/hard. My pizza oven can now withstand a 9.9 earthquake .... My outdoor fireplace (wood-burning) has the identical set up before I built it, .... as well as my outdoor ping-pong table (not finished yet). Here are a few photos of my other projects:

                  Hello David from Kelowna. Yes I did finish the oven, at least to the point that it is functional and weather proof. Only a few last finishing touches; a decorative finish on the dome being the main one. Mostly just enjoying using it these days.
                  I have a thread about my build, I just need to find a link.
                  Here's a picture of a recent bake with some of the oven.

                    I just remembered my build thread is in my signature, but here is the link anyways

                    There are a whole slew of build photos and it should have up to the current state I think.
                    After years of patiently waiting to build a pizza oven, I have finally begun my journey. It has been a long while since I first found the plans on this website, and
