I did a big back yard makeover 8 years ago and was strongly considering a big masonry pizza oven.

The primary reason I did not is the warm up time. You’re looking at 2 hours or so. Not good if all you want to do is bake 2-3 pies.

I ended up with a 2stone pizza grill, which is no longer made. Willard does make commercial products, and if you’re looking at a Forno Bravo product, you might consider them.

My $0.02

Looks interesting.

But I’ve had my heart set on an Italian pizza oven ;) my mom is from Italy and I’ve been able to almost replicate Italian pizzas - except for the charred bottom of the dough. I have to have wood for that. Plus, in planning for economic collapse, wood works for us since we are surrounded by the Cherokee National Forest.

On this model, forno bravo gives a 20 min heat time. I wanted a bigger one, because I want to bake bread in it as well, but they can get pretty huge. and expensive.

Oh, and the other thing to consider, even if you do put in a Forno Bravo, is maybe get a Blackstone for quick pizza making.

YouTube's loaded with ideas, er, attempts at utilizing existing grills for "wood-fired" pizza.

Some are fairly cheap, too.

On my to-do list of things to try from last Fall.

Weather's been all over the place since. Supposed to be in the 60s the next couple of days, but snow and in the 'teens Sunday.
