"I would recommend Iron & Oak to anyone. We decided to replace an old and falling apart solarium on the back of our house and wanted a three season screen porch on the same footprint. We had a number of contractors out to bid on the project.. some that provided low-cost, cookie cutter aluminum porches, some that were custom builders. In the end for us, due to the communication, dedication to quality, and reasonable value, we went with Iron & Oak. The entire process: the initial consultation with Peter, the planning of the project with Jake, and the team that they brought out to build the porch were all A+. On top of that, there is a value working with good people. Even when there were bumps in the road during the construction process, which is the norm and for the most part unavoidable, Iron & Oak was clear with their intention to take care of us as their customer and they followed up on that. They went above and beyond with this project and we are so happy that we made the decision to work with them."

"Stay far away from this company. Original project went fine although it was expensive. However the past few months have shown me their true colors as I have tried to get some of the original work fixed. Be aware that they only warranty work for 12 months. We had the only four tiles on the step into our shower crack over the first year and I tried for months to contact them through email. No response. I finally left my name as a new customer, and they immediately called me (funny :)). They then asked for pictures and said they could fix it. I then discovered it would cost $600 to replace the four tiles they obviously installed incorrectly the first time. Correctly installed tiles would not all crack on the outer edge."

The time it takes to build a pizza oven depends on the type and complexity of the project. If you're going with a prefab pizza oven kit, you could be cooking your first pizza in just a day or two. Custom-designed ovens take longer—anywhere from several days to a few weeks—since they involve more detailed planning, material selection, and construction. While it requires patience, the result is a durable and personalized oven that you can enjoy for years to come.
Regular maintenance and cleaning of your pizza oven preserves its performance and durability. After each use, allow the oven to cool completely before removing accumulated ash with a stiff brush and damp cloth. For periodic deep cleaning, scrub the entire cooking surface with a heavy-duty wire brush and wipe the interior thoroughly with a damp cloth until no residue remains. Meticulously inspect and clean the flue to remove any obstructions. Avoid harsh chemicals to protect the oven’s integrity and enhance flavor retention.
An outdoor pizza oven reaches temperatures of up to 800 degrees, allowing you to create authentic, restaurant-quality Neapolitan pizzas with crispy crusts. Beyond pizzas, they're incredibly versatile—you can bake bread, roast meats, or even grill veggies, all while infusing your food with the unique, smoky flavor that only wood-fired cooking provides. Plus, a pizza oven becomes a natural gathering spot, making your backyard the go-to place for family and friends all year round.
Using fire bricks for your pizza oven is essential for exceptional heat tolerance and construction safety. Fire bricks are engineered to sustain extreme temperatures and preserve structural integrity during operation. Their superior heat resistance prevents cracking and potential hazards, ensuring a resilient build. Employing fire bricks results in an oven that consistently delivers high-quality, evenly cooked pizzas while maintaining durability and safety.
An ideal pizza oven height positions the opening between 36 and 48 inches above ground level. This provides you with clear visibility and comfortable access. This precise height enhances safety by reducing the need for bending over to check on your pizzas, while also supporting efficient heat distribution and ergonomic cooking practices, ultimately optimizing overall performance.
