A real oven offers a completely different pizza as one can taste it in this small restaurant near Lucca, Italy.
These ovens are specifically designed to cook pizza at high temperatures, usually between 300°C and 500°C. A pizza oven can be made out of different materials, such as metal, clay, stone, or brick. A brick pizza oven is one of the most common and traditional types of pizza ovens, especially in Italy.
A brick pizza oven is usually built with two main parts: the base and the dome. The base is the flat surface where the pizza is placed and cooked. The base is usually made of fire bricks, which are special bricks that can resist to high temperatures and retain heat well. The dome is the curved structure that covers the base and creates a chamber where the hot air circulates and cooks the pizza evenly. The dome is usually made of clay bricks, which are cheaper and easier to shape than fire bricks.
