"Our Cortile Barile oven was a lot of fun to build! The oven instructions were very straight forward, and all the materials were available within a few miles from home. The kids had a blast helping build the oven, and we all love to cook in it. I've already recommended BrickWood Ovens to a bunch of friends."

"The process was quite incredible and now that we are looking back at it, we're even more amazed that we pulled it off. My husband and his son literally did small steps at a time. We love it so much - and so does the neighborhood!"

"It cost us about $1,700 for the whole thing to make. We were given an estimate of $5,000 for a professional to do it. And I'm certain it wouldn't have been the detail and quality that you instructed us with. So many friends and family are amazed by this and we brag about you guys all the time."

"I can't tell you how much we have enjoyed our Cortile Barile oven! It's a great excuse to have family and friends over on a regular basis. It has performed flawlessly once the Chef (me) got the hang of it. I find we are now looking for new recipes and different foods to cook. Thank you for a GREAT wood fired pizza oven form!!"

"We all had a wonderful time building this oven. It has been a long-awaited goal for my family, and they all got to help in many ways. It has been even more fun firing it up and cooking a great dinner for us all! Your kit and highly detailed directions were fantastic and have earned me numerous congratulations on my accomplishments."

"We absolutely love our new wood fired oven and we couldn't be happier!"

"I purchased your pizza oven kit 2 years ago and the products exceeded all my expectations! Great instructions. Great materials / suppliers lists. This oven bakes the most wonderful products and fulfills that outdoors experience I crave. Love this pizza oven! Grade A+"

"I had a great time building the Cortile Barile! Most definitely one of the more enjoyable DIY projects I've ever done. I'm very impressed at how much heat this oven holds, and how long it holds it. I fired it up last night and the surface temperature was about 850° after an hour. 15 hours after removing the embers, it was still around 150°.  Truly Amazing!"

"This oven will outlast the patio it's built on. I've used it for Steaks, Chicken Wings, Chili, Blackened Salmon and of course about 20 varieties of Pizza. We can't say enough good things about the experience and the final product!"

Frequently Asked Mattone Cupola Questions

Frequently Asked
Mattone Cupola Questions

How is the Cortile Barile series oven different from your other pizza oven kits?

The Cortile Barile pizza oven distinguishes itself from other ovens on the market with our patented pour-and-pack foam pizza oven forms. This innovative 5-piece oven kit is made by pouring and packing castable refractory material into molds crafted from expanded polystyrene (EPS), often referred to as "Styrofoam," which is a trademarked brand name synonymous with EPS. After pouring and packing the castable refractory, a process that takes about 90 minutes, you allow it to cure for a week. Once fully cured, you can remove the foam, revealing the five pieces needed to construct the pizza oven: front, back, left side, right side, and top. When these pieces are bonded together and finished with your choice of exterior, you'll have a durable, long-lasting wood-fired pizza oven designed to last for generations

 

The construction method of this oven is similar to our dome-shaped 28" Mattone Cupola pizza oven, which also uses castable refractory poured and packed onto an EPS foam mold. While both the Cortile Barile and Mattone Cupola share similar functionality and materials (and use the same size pizza oven base), the round hearth and extra thick walls of the Mattone Cupola require an additional 260 lbs of castable refractory. This makes the Mattone Cupola ideal for extended baking sessions, whether all day or throughout the weekend. In contrast, the Cortile Barile is designed for quick heating, offering an authentic wood-fired oven experience for parties or events lasting 4 to 5 hours, as well as casual family nights with friends.

 

The Cortile Barile pizza oven kit and the Mattone Cupola pizza oven kit share similarities in construction and functionality, excelling at baking low-profile foods like breads and pizzas. However, the Cortile Barile offers a more straightforward assembly process compared to the Mattone Barile series of DIY pizza oven kits, which require more fire brick, high-temperature refractory mortar, and a greater investment of time and elbow grease. In addition to the differences in labor intensity, there are functional distinctions between the two. Both the Cortile Barile and Mattone Cupola feature a smaller oven opening and a low ceiling made of heat-retaining castable refractory. This design enhances their ability to cook low-profile foods efficiently, requiring minimal fuel while providing excellent heat retention for dishes like bread, pizzas, casseroles, and skillet dinners. Whereas the Mattone Barile series pizza ovens are designed with a larger front opening and a 19" ceiling. This design not only allows for cooking and baking low-profile foods but also accommodates larger items like turkeys and wood-fired BBQ, making them versatile for a wide range of culinary creations.

Do I need any masonry experience to build a Cortile Barile or any of your oven kits?

When we founded BrickWood Ovens, our mission was clear: to create pizza oven kits that anyone, regardless of masonry experience, could use to build a high-performance wood-fired oven while staying on (or preferably below) budget. We went the extra mile by developing detailed, colorfully illustrated plans for both the pizza oven and its base, complete with materials lists. Best of all, we offer these pizza oven plans for free, so you can download them before ordering your kit and see just how simple it is to construct a pizza oven for your family using locally sourced masonry materials. 

 

We’ve received hundreds of 5-star reviews from customers who built their dream pizza ovens without any technical training. And we've received just as many reviews expressing gratitude for the skills, knowledge and confidence our customers gained while building their ovens from scratch which empowered them to take on additional masonry projects around their homes.

What is the average cost of a fully built Cortile Barile (oven & base)?

The estimated cost for a standard Cortile Barile oven build, including the base, ranges from approximately $2800 to $3000. This estimate includes the Cortile Barile • Package 1 kit  (Foam Molds, Stainless Exhaust Kit with Pipe and Ceramic Fiber Blanket).

How much does a fully built Cortile Barile weigh?

A fully assembled Cortile Barile pizza oven, encased in two layers of stucco, weighs between 800 - 900 lbs. The hearth cooking surface, which includes concrete slabs, an insulation layer, edge bricks, and a fire brick baking surface, weighs around 1,750 lbs. The cinder block base walls and the concrete base slab (the heavy foundation that supports everything) together weigh approximately 2,500 lbs.

What materials do I need to build the Cortile Barile and where do I buy them?

First, you’ll want to choose the Cortile Barile pizza oven kit that’s perfect for you. The Cortile Barile Foam Forms provide the molds and stainless steel fibers that you mix with the castable refractory. The Cortile Barile • Package 1 includes these forms and fibers, along with a high-end, double-walled stainless steel exhaust kit and one box of ceramic fiber blanket. The Cortile Barile • Package 2 builds on this, adding the optional pizza oven door and tools (which you can always order later). And the Cortile Barile • Package 3 includes everything in Package 2, plus castable refractory and fire brick, all delivered to your home or job site at no extra cost.


After receiving our email with your FREE pizza oven plans, download and print the Cortile Barile Pizza Oven and Cortile Barile Pizza Oven Base plans (PDFs). The first page of each plan set includes detailed materials lists for both the oven and the base. Rest assured, the plans are precise down to the last nail!

 

As you review the materials lists, you may come across some items that are unfamiliar, such as castable refractory or refractory mortar. Many of these materials aren't available at big box hardware stores but can be found at your local landscape or masonry supply stores (the go-to masonry supply stores for professionals).

What does a damper do and how does it help the performance of my oven?

A chimney damper is a device installed in our 6" x 6" chimney pipe that regulates airflow. Its main purpose is to open and close the pipe, controlling the draft when the pizza oven is in use or not. When the damper is open, smoke, gases, and heat can escape from the oven. When closed, it prevents heat from escaping once the oven reaches its optimal cooking temperature.

A chimney damper is a device installed in our 6" x 6" chimney pipe that regulates airflow. Its main purpose is to open and close the pipe, controlling the draft when the pizza oven is in use or not. When the damper is open, smoke, gases, and heat can escape from the oven. When closed, it prevents heat from escaping once the oven reaches its optimal cooking temperature. When used in conjunction with a pizza oven door, a closed damper effectively seals the oven, maintaining the high temperatures inside. Additionally, a closed damper helps keep out debris, animals, and cold air, which can lead to inconsistent baking temperatures.

Our 6in stainless steel, double-wall damper fits between the 6" x 12" chimney pipe and the chimney cap. To install, simply place the damper on top of the chimney pipe and twist it into position. Then, attach the chimney cap to the top of the damper using the same method. When you want to retain heat in your oven, simply turn the handle on the damper to the "closed" position. This action moves a round metal plate inside the damper, sealing off the interior and preventing heated air from escaping the oven, helping to maintain the oven’s temperature.

You recommend ordering an additional box of Ceramic Fiber Blanket. What are the benefits?

Ceramic fiber blanket (6lb) is a high-temperature insulation material designed to withstand extreme heat, making it ideal for kilns, furnaces, and pizza ovens. It effectively traps air within its fibrous structure, minimizing heat transfer and creating a barrier between your oven's intensely heated interior and the cooler exterior. The more layers of ceramic fiber blanket (CFB) you add, the better insulated your oven becomes. This results in needing less firewood to reach temperature, achieving high cooking temperatures more quickly, extending cooking times before needing to refire the oven, and keeping the exterior of your pizza oven significantly cooler to the touch.

 

One box of 6lb ceramic fiber blanket provides enough material to wrap your Cortile Barile pizza oven with two layers of insulation. By purchasing an additional box, you can add another 1.5 to 2 layers, further enhancing your oven's efficiency and performance. If you're looking to significantly maximize the capabilities and performance of your pizza oven, consider adding a box of 8lb ceramic fiber blanket. While it may cost a bit more, this upgrade offers improved efficiency for your oven. To put it in perspective, think of the standard 6lb CFB as a Corvette, while the 8lb CFB is akin to a Ferrari (slightly better performance / slightly more expensive). Just remember to apply the 8lb blanket to your oven before adding the 6lb blanket for the best results.

Can you send me specific plans on an oven I saw in your photo gallery?

All the stunning pizza ovens featured in our photo galleries were built using a BrickWood pizza oven kit along with our free pizza oven plans. With these plans, BrickWood customers were able to construct high-performance wood-fired pizza ovens from the ground up using locally sourced masonry materials. While we guide you through building a base and oven with a simple yet stylish finish, by the time you reach this stage, you'll have gained the skills and knowledge to personalize your oven and base with your own artistic flair. Every unique pizza oven showcased in our gallery was designed and crafted by its builder, reflecting their individual creative vision.

 

We frequently receive inquiries such as, "Can you put me in contact with the builder of XXX oven? I have some questions about their oven." We apologize, but we cannot provide our customers' contact information to anyone, just as we would never share your contact information. You’re welcome to visit the BrickWood Forum, where many of our customers share their experiences and discuss the construction processes involved in building their BrickWood ovens. There are numerous members who are more than happy to offer advice on constructing your DIY pizza oven.
