We obviously have pizza on the brain, because it was just yesterday we posted Breakfast Pizza and now we're practically salivating over this very expensive beehive pizza oven from Williams-Sonoma.
This is way out of our price range, and out of the price range of things we usually post here at The Kitchn (we leave all those big-ticket, out-of-budget items to our sister home and furniture sites!). But this is too delicious to pass up.
We dream of a little city garden with a paved courtyard and fruit trees and one of these babies right in the middle. This would be so great for more than pizza, too; we'd bake bread in this all year round! But we probably have other things to use $2000 for right now - more's the pity.
Check it out at Williams-Sonoma, though; they even have a video. They say it's an authentic European oven that can bake everything from crisp-crusted pizzas and rustic breads to juicy roast chicken with a crackling golden skin. You do of course have to build a wood fire and learn how to build the coals. Baking temperatures of up to 900ºF!

'twould be nice.
For 2 grand I'd like to see a higher quality base. Plastic wheels and cotter pins?
When I saw this in the catalog, I thought, "I must have this." Then I saw the price and think I'll stick to my oven for pizza making and was happy to get a baking stone for my b'day!
for 2 grand, i"ll fly to naples,italy and eat pizza
Right there with you, Luigilly!!
This settles it. I'm making husband build me an oven in the backyard. How hard can it be? (famous last words, I'm sure)
Because for 2 grand, I'll have one H-E-Double Toothpicks of an oven.
I dream of having a backyard with a brick pizza oven in it. Even though Im not much of a baker now, I just know that I would turn into a master bread artisian overnight.
That would be awesome to have and in an apartment the size and mobility would be a necessity but I think you could probably build one for less.
The Egg might be a more practical choice (for slightly less money).

I just made a bunch of pizzas tonight with friends for Top Chef night and this would have been great. Maybe I should invest in 20 or so ceramics classes - then I can make the oven AND the tableware.
There was an article in Sunset magazine a few years ago that had instructions how to make an adobe pizza oven which was very cool. Granted, it didn't have a base, but it was just as cool and would be much cheaper.
Or you might try this.
