Ok, so if you don’t want pizza on your barbeque, but still want your pizza made outside, you can go for the luxe Handcrafted Terra Cotta Oven ($2000).
Our authentic European wood-fired oven infuses everything it cooks with a kiss of smoky goodness, producing tender and flavorful fish, meat, vegetables, breads—and the most fantastic pizza we’ve tried yet. This rustic oven becomes a focal point of your garden or terrace and a hub of activity when entertaining. Fueled by hardwoods and fruitwoods, heat builds up in the internal oven chamber and dissipates slowly through the cooler outer shell. Includes oven, stand, door, oven rack, cover, pizza paddle and brush. Oven is handmade in Portugal

What? $2000 for that little thing?
Bill over at Woodfired Pizza built his for around $1000. At his site he lists several options for kits/pre-fab models…. yes, some of those are more expensive, but you get quite a bit more too.
Even this old “cheapo” Sunset Adobe oven wouldn’t cost more than $200.
If I had to pay $2000 for an outdoor oven I’d rather spend part of it on flying Alan Scott over to help me build mine.
Certainly if I were “born rich” I’d spend the $$$ on a Mugnaini or a Fogazzo.
Since I wasn’t born rich, I’d settle for something like this that does the job quite well:

But that’s just my $.005 … heee…:)
no one understands the true value and skill that it takes in a craft. i think its a beautiful piece of art and craftmanship. so i think its worth ever penny that the craftsmen asks for.
Nothing better than pizza done in this type of oven, that’s for sure!
