This project started after a few holidays in italy where we had use of a pizza oven and after much prevarication and sceptism from many people decided to go ahead and build one for myself. Did a lot of research on the net and read various books before deciding on a clay oven as it seemed to be the simplest and most importantly the cheapest way to achieve what I wanted. Like all projects when starting out it seemed quite daunting and it progessed slowly to start with and then built up a momentum all of its own. Lots of hard but enjoyable work and so satisfying when each stage has been finished.
