Project Spotlight: Brick Ovens

Nothing beats the flavor of wood-fired cooking. Inspired by the ancient Italian wood-burning ovens first used over four thousand years ago, brick ovens cook at a very high heat and add a unique flavor profile to anything from fish to pizza. An outdoor brick oven instantly turns any outdoor space into a gourmet outdoor kitchen. There are numerous models ways to incorporate this a brick oven into an outdoor living design, from compact urban spaces to expansive suburban backyards.

Custom-Built Brick Ovens

Many Belgard landscape wall products can be used to build a housing for a brick pizza oven. This type of design creates a statement piece that can either stand alone or coordinate effortlessly with a Belgard outdoor living space. Weston Stone® (as shown in the photo) and Belair Wall® are particularly well suited for this type of application. Weston Stone also coordinates well with the Bristol Series™ and Brighton Series™ of the Belgard Elements™ modular outdoor living room and kitchen components — allowing you to integrate a brick oven into a Belgard Elements design.
