It's not about the pizza or money. What I see here is a man with patience and passion. We need more people like you in this world. I hope I raise my son and daughter to some day put their minds to building things and using their time wisely in life instead of waste it on an iPad.

First class workmanship. This shows what a craftsman can accomplish in just 13 minutes.

This is a man who really loves pizza. Bravo!

Pretty sick man, you've overbuilt the oven in a beautiful and rigid way. Thanks for sharing

Three words; Passion, Patience, and Pizza! Great job.

Sweet Mother! That is the greatest brick oven EVER! You are next level, sir. I don't know where you live, but I live in Texas and I'm on the way there.....

when you put enough effort, time, talent and money into something it has to turn great. Congrats. It is something I wish to do soon enough.

I went through a couple of videos for building pizza ovens and I'm glad to see you do it properly! Thanks for the video and the commentary.

I don't know how I ended up here but I watched the whole video and that's hard work right there!! Amazing job

The pivoting stick works so well. Never knew about them before. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

Wow. This is one heck of a project. Well explained and your success was mainly by the well preparation. There was not one boring moment in the video. 👍

This is awesome. Every man need a pizza oven

DUDE! That was mesmerizing! By far the finest tutorial I've ever watched. AMAZING! TY. BTW, for everyone saying "Just BUY A Pizza", A WoodFire Oven bakes everything from Artisan Breads to Baked Beans. :-p

Outstanding job! You did very well!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Dude, this is what patience will do. Do it the right way the 1st time. Congrats on a beautiful piece.

This is something I'd love to do. Always dreamed of a real pizza oven in my yard. All things considered, it will remain a dream.

For a guy who's never had an interest in building a brick oven, I was really interested in watching you build a brick oven. Very cool, dood.

A pizza oven is my next project. Great video and appreciate the time lapse and narrative.

I'm a professional concrete mason, and you have skill! Excellent work, very impressed.

The best wood fired pizza diy video!!! Thanks!!! You are a very talented person!

I just searched “how to build a brick pizza oven” and watched your video.....my next search is going to be “contractors near me that will build a brick pizza oven.”

Genius idea using the stick hinged in the centre to create the dome. Safe to say your oven will still be around for the next few millennia! Great job

Not boring at all , totally in to your video ! Thank you for your inputs !

Thank you for making this video. I have been wanting to build one of these for 10 years. I will use your tutelage to make mine!

Hello, my grandfather started working at a brickyard when he was 9, that was 1930. He started to learn to lay brick from the old German immigrants who worked there building and repairing the kilns. He spent the next 64 years working as a brick and stone mason and was laying Bedford stone just a week prior to his death. The term he used for the tool you referred to as the "indispensable tool" was a "sweep". He used to tell me stories about his childhood during the great depression when I was a child, and had described to me in great detail how they had built the brick kilns at the brick yard so many decades before. My father followed in his footsteps and at the age of 70 is still a mason. I worked the trade for over twenty years before giving it up to pursue a more stable source of income. I miss it some days, but not the pain. ;) The video brought back childhood memories of my grandfather, so thank you. I may just have to build a brick oven in the future. You did a nice job.

I just sat on the toilet for 13mins n watched a man make a brick oven.... what am i doing with my life

Wow that was a labour of love. I was surprised that the concrete blocks weren't cemented together but it worked out great.

Excellent job. Best tutorial for building a brick pizza oven available on KZfaq. Thanks for sharing. 👏

Nice Job. I really liked the stick in the center that was used as both a guide and support. Love it.

Cudos that was a serious labor of love loved the time lapse

Awesome job Shawn. Thanks for putting this video together... showing progress, and explanation of the project as you went along. I’ll be checking your channel for a materials list and plans...

Thanks, Shawn. Very cool!

Amazing work Shawn! Your video and tips will be a blessing in my future attempt. Thanks for sharing!

"This is the only step where my wife was there to help me" *cries internally*

Expert level construction! Great tutorial thanks.

Good job ! Thoroughly enjoyed the process and results !

I watched this awhile back. Was nice to come across again. Way to persevere. ;-)

Found this video totally at random... excellent job! Damn... now I feel like pizza...

Wow! You did one heck of a Job, Your Family will be pleased!

I watched it a year ago.. i thought about it and watched it again after a year to review what were the challenging parts.. it's really a great source of info and the video is really well done short and long enough.. thanks a lot !

Absolutely wonderful video! I've always dreamed of having my own brick oven. Having a brick oven obsession along with loving to build things and loving to cook, this video was as good as any blockbuster I've ever seen at a theater. LOL!😁 Thank you for sharing your project.

Gotta make a pizza oven! Pizza is the best food.especially when everything is homemade organic. Good job!

The best off the best my friend, congratulation.

Thank you for sharing Shawn, great job!

When 🎶the moon 🎵hits your eye like a big pizza pie ... That's amore❤️

Awesome job! Looks great and built like a tank!

Incredible workmanship!

Wow, well done! It turned out really well, and the pizza looked delicious too! I take my hat off to you, sir.

Good work good video not annoying at all no bullshit music. right to the point. Thanks man keep up the good work enjoy your 🍕 🍕

Man, you have been getting a lot of negative feedback so I wanted to chime in and say that I learnt a lot by simply watching this video. In other words, at first I had no idea how to build one of these, and not I have LOTS of ideas on how it is done. Which is exactly what KZfaq videos are about. Thanks for putting it together!!!!! Truly appreciate it!

I would've gone nuts 14 days without pizza Great job

I built one of these years ago, i`t is interesting watching your process. The one thing I found was the bottom opening was too big and became a junk collector. I only used the front 3 feet for would storage. My upper slab was a mix. The first 4 inches was reinforced concrete but the upper 4 inches was a mix of vermiculite and mortar cement as a heat insulator. I didn’t use the ceramic pad. I then used a mixture of crushed glass and sand for my heat slip. For my chimney, I had a local metal shop make a peak chimney instead of building a dome which he was also able,to build a door. I do like that center rod for keeping the angle. I used the traditional `cut wood angle pieces. The building that it was used at burnt `to` the ground and after the fire the only thing left was my pizza oven. They ended up tearing it down for fear of heat damage to the cement blocks. We cooked thousand upon thousands of pizzas over a 10 year period. For wood, I `found that hard would that was dry for at least Two years worked the best and we kept the pieces to a 2 inch diameter. This reduced the “steam” effect. Oh how I remember the mess `from cutting the heat bricks. Great job.

Gratulation! Very impressive work! Nice finish.

This guy is a good craftsman I hope he can cook as good as he can build

I wish I had a home of my own to do this , but really want to say young man SALUTE! Wonderful video and job well done

Your one was the most beautiful and robust Stone Kiln I've watched recently. Good job my friend, take care.

Congatulation👍 good explanation. Thank you and enjoy. Regards from Germany

Absolutely amazing!!! Great job bro!

My grandfather used to build kilns at brickyards when he first started in the masonry trade. His name for "the indespensible tool" was a "sweep", and all the old masons use to fabricate their own. He started working at a brickyard at the age of 9 during the great depression. Worked as a Mason his whole life. Died at the age of 73 just days after finishing his last Bedford limestone job.

I wish I had your patience. That looked wonderful!!

I can really enjoy such a piece of craftsmanship ... great job dude !!! I can't wait until the pizza is ready hehe 👍🏻👍🏻

Great job. Not an easy task, and 75 bags of concrete, and block later, not cheap either. But what a beautiful oven. Great pizza party's in the near future. Thanks for sharing this. Enjoy!

Wow.. I thank you. Cheers from Los Angeles

After watching this vid wish I am into wearing hats cuz hats off to you bro. Excellent job!!!

Very well done, congratulations.

Great job!

You did a nice job on that oven. I like the insolation you used under the main firebricks and on the outside before the final rendering.

Great Job ! I loved the centering tool , A Big Well Done !

I am only 3 minutes into this video and had to stop to comment! That's a lot of work, bro! well done, A+ for dedication!

Большой респект. Золотые руки. Чувак просто молодец👍🏻

Nicely over-engineered. :) That thing will do for decades to come.

Wow. You did a fantastic job on that oven, damn!!

When your pizza oven could survive a tornado but your house couldn't.

Amazing man. 👏

Nice build looks amazing. In france where I live they used to weave a dome then build the bricks over it then burn the weaving out to harden

That s the final brick... I was totally amazed how much time it takes and i live in europe germany, and we have a lot of pizza and barbequeing. But If I had this oven everybody wouöd visit me and I would be the italian cook. I am impressed to build such a thing nowdays. Thanx for sharing this Moment

My goodness, it's massive, your oven! Hope you get to cook more in it than "just" pizza. :-)

It looks like a nuclear bunker ! And all that just for a pizza? My word, you have to love pizza to do all that !!

I always love brick oven cooking. You must surely enjoy using it during this period of lockdown. I saw a video where some folks in my country baked bread in a brick oven using an open bottomed bread pan. They used fig leaves as the base...which made a difference. I enjoyed watching ur video! Thank you. 💫

Very nice. Going to show this to my hubby. He is going to say, yea, right.

Good effort. To many so called professionals on here trying to prove their better. You done well.

Oh my god you took 20 days on this video. hard work you are but thank you so much for your share it.

Hard work really does pay off doesn't it.... Kudos on this feat of work :) High praise from Pakistan :)

Very satisfying.... Great upload

I mean really Props to you. You could see how much effort you put into this video but without any disrespect why did I just a took 13 minutes of my life watching this video even though it's really good one but safe knowing that I'm never going to build such a thing myself. But heey. Enjoy your pizza. Greetings from Germany.

wow amazing! I wish I lived close to have some pizza.

thank you for the documentation side of the build well narrated Shawn finished oven looks awesome too , im pumped : )

Amazing precision.

I'm a brick mason and I think you did extremely well!

Damn the construct skills this man got right there 👌

That was a 5 star job. Well done on the oven and the video!

That was fantastic! Thanks for posting this!

I've thought about building one of these for a long time. I'm going to keep thinking about it.

And this is just his FIRST pizza oven. Because after that he built several more

Well done 👍 this oven will last for decades.

Good job Shawn.

Surely that first pizza was the one you most enjoyed in your life.

What an awsome project mate you killed with patience and finness! Love it!!!!!!!😎😎😎😎

Masterful work.

thank you for the video , I've been slowly buying my fire bricks and getting ready
