Bricks for pizza oven.

[LMO]

Hi to all bricklaying experts!
I'm about to start building a pizza/wood oven and would like opinions on the choice of bricks. For the base, it seems obvious to choose firebricks, but for the rest, red struck masonry bricks like type A1 should work. That's what is used for, for example, tiled stoves. Grateful for advice and opinions

Hello all masonry experts! I'm about to start building a pizza/wood-fired oven and would like opinions on the choice of bricks. For the bottom, it seems obvious to choose fireproof bricks, but for the rest, red struck brick type A1 should work. It's what is used, for example, for tiled stoves.

The absolute best floor is biscotto, if you're serious about pizza baking it might be worth checking out. Quite expensive but 4 central tiles are enough for most needs. The rest can be fireproof brick.

.. can also recommend Lilla Napoli's book, where they go through pizza oven construction in great detail
