Brick Pizza Oven

We built this oven over the course of one week. Here is a time lapse video, in one minute, of the process.
I joked that the first pizza cost $1,000, which was the approximate cost of the oven. Here is a detailed breakdown of the costs:

Hi there. Is that the finished oven? Don't you need a smaller door arch? And a door?

[frankpaolino]

@Hamish121212 No door needed for pizza, but I do have one I put in after cooking pizza to make stews. You need a good clay pot (ceramic breaks - I learned the hard way).

This style oven doesn't need a chimney?

[frankpaolino]

@mtownlobo No chimney needed. I have a removable brick in the top, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Did the $1000 include the cost of the rock wall Base thing. If not how much was it without it.

[frankpaolino]

@snork707 The base was separate. I had the wall already, so I just put the bricks on the bottom.

The motar you used is it safe? It looks like you put color in it. That could put off a chemical that's not safe..
