Eat the outer ring first, keeping the center intact and warm?
outer pieces for crust lovers, inner for those other people.
Did you make the Pizza Oven yourself?
Yes. Itās s beast.
From The Bread Builders book, or another source?
Iām looking to build one, eventually. But that is several years and a different house away 
. I need a much bigger backyard than I currently have.

That is amazing- Iām so jealous!! My stove is terrible at cooking pizzas- canāt get the bottom to brown nicely no matter what. Maybe this will be a future projectā¦
Rado Handās plans but highly customized for a bigger oven. Couldnāt have done it without Rado! I had always wanted an oven since I lived in Italy but looking at the Bread Builders pushed me forward with building. After assisting on two ovens with some other folks, I focused on my own. Sketchup was essential because I was using mostly recycled blocks and bricks with some custom sizes. The floor is 36 by 48 with a 16" barrel dome. Here is a full frontal but the doors are inside out before I
put the wrought iron hinges on.

I think you meant to post this link. I built a base for one, itās there in the backyard, but I have yet to complete the oven. I have the materials stockpiled (except a hearth stone), just not an oven.
Thanks. Came back to finish the post after a freeze in Firefox and had something else in the cache. The next step,is tough. I spent pretty much every free moment for four months planning and executing each phase. I had a big nine bag mixer available and that helped. I used my own mix for the concrete having cheap gravel and sand available. Bought lots of lime and some kaolin for the firebrick mortar. Realized that I could only handle two batches a day after I couldnāt move the day after I did three batches. That was pouring the heat sink cladding after the oven brickwork was done. I had some help here and there but did most of it by myself. Imdid firebrick hearth and for the lintel stone I poured a concrete slab reversed on melamine. That saved a lot of time doing the tiling at the entrance and it looks great. Got some maroon color to add to the concrete and it came out great. I do have a wet grinder to polish but you might be able to rent one.
