Virtually all ancient civilizations were discovered to have brick ovens, and I'm sure most of them enjoyed pizza just as much as you do. Brick ovens have become as widespread in modern Italian homes as barbeque grills elsewhere. Pizza baked in a brick oven has various advantages over pizza baked in a regular oven.
Increasing the oven's heat -
A wood fire serves as the oven's heat source, radiating heat evenly throughout the oven before being absorbed by the brick walls. The top of the oven will be uniformly heated by this method, but the bottom will stay a little cooler. When the oven reaches the ideal baking temperature (between 570 and 660 degrees Fahrenheit), a constant low flame is kept to keep the heat in. This is how you get a fantastic pizza every time.
