Build your own ultimate homemade pizza oven cheap

You’ve probably never wondered how to go about building your own ultimate pizza oven for those delicious artisan-style crusts, and if you have, you probably assumed it was pretty expensive. Not so. BoingBoing tells you how to do it:

Cooking at 700F+ vs. the puny 500F pumped out by my standard oven/range is part of the secret. Turns out baking with a lone stone is too. The solution: $13.50 worth of ceramic firebricks plucked from a landscape supply yard. Details after the jump — plus, the taste test that convinced me you don’t have to shell out big bucks or construct a huge outdoor oven to boost the quality of a homemade pie.

The result you can expect is more even “doneness” of the crust and ingredients. BoingBoing warns this is not an easy tutorial – it took three men three days to get this done. But if you love pizza, you can’t beat it!
