I have been getting a lot of notes about some pics of the pizza oven in action. Sorry this has taken so long but during the build my dad was very ill with cancer and he mercifully passed on the 13the of March so this had to take a back seat. Things are finally settled down and we are getting back to normal. Thanks for all the thoughtful notes 

Finally here we go with the first few times we used the oven. The first and hardest part is to learn oven management - I am getting better and learning a lot. I think I have read at least 600 posts on a couple of pizza forums  

Here are two of the first pizzas and with the breeze we have here the first thing I learned is not to have the fire in the back of the oven and too spread out - lots of ash flying around

This just seems to get better everytime we use it. Looking forward to doing some porchetta and more bread soon. Chicken not too far off, then some black and blue steaks

Thanks for looking

Went to a restaurant in New Haven, Ct billed as the "original Tomato Pie" - still in business, is Pepe's - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Pepe_Pizzeria_Napoletana.  You have to stand in line hours just to get in!  They still have the original coal-fired brick ovens, too (article gives dimensions).  Started in 1925.

Now, today, it will be a new chapter... "Scarbelly's Tomato Pie Emporium!"  Yum!  You'll put the place on the map, for sure!

Oh yes, so i don't have to wait in line for hours, can I preorder??

May your dad be blessed with Eternal Life.

Pizza Ovens Are Over Rated!!!

They're for guys who can't dial the phone or set the stove to 425°

I really feel sorry for Gary!

Poor Guy!

LMAO!!!

I don't even have to dial the phone and the delivery guy shows up with pizza.

One day the family and I came home from some outing. Hadn't been in the house for more than 5 mins and the doorbell rings. I go to the door and it's the pizza guy.

Me: "Yes?".

Him: "Your pizza's here.

Me: " I didn't order any, we just got home.

Him: " It's your address." Looks at bill. "Oops! sorry, it's another house on the street"

Seems that they got the order, and he just assumed it was us 'cause we order so often.
