The most impressive outdoor cooking and gathering combination available — a custom outdoor fireplace paired with or incorporating a wood-fired pizza oven. VistaScapes builds outdoor fireplace and pizza oven combinations throughout Broken Arrow and Tulsa, creating the ultimate backyard entertainment centerpiece that your guests will never forget. These are true masonry builds — not prefab inserts — designed and constructed to look like they’ve always been there and perform flawlessly for decades.
Pizza Oven Options We Build
Wood-Fired Barrel Vault Pizza Oven
The traditional Neapolitan dome oven — a refractory dome over a firebrick cooking floor. Wood fire heats the dome and floor simultaneously; once the dome is brought to 800–900°F and the ash raked to the side, the radiant heat from dome and floor cooks a 12-inch pizza in 90 seconds. This is the authentic experience — no electric or gas substitute comes close. We build these from refractory castable or firebrick over a CMU base, faced in the same stone or brick as the surrounding fireplace structure.
Gas Pizza Oven with Wood Option
Gas-fired pizza ovens with optional wood tray for flavor provide convenience (heat up in 20 minutes vs 60–90 for wood) while still achieving authentic pizza temperatures. Preferred by homeowners who want wood-fired results without the commitment of building and managing a full wood fire every time they cook pizza.
Prefab Oven Insert in Custom Masonry Surround
High-quality prefab pizza oven inserts (Forno Bravo, ilFornino, and similar brands) installed within a custom-built masonry surround that matches the outdoor fireplace structure. The insert handles the cooking; the masonry surround creates the visual cohesion with the surrounding build. This approach provides reliable performance with faster heat-up than a fully custom-built dome.
Fireplace + Pizza Oven Configurations
Side-by-Side Configuration
The fireplace and pizza oven are built as adjacent elements — separate firebox and flue systems sharing a common structural base and matching stone veneer. The fireplace provides warmth and ambiance; the pizza oven provides the cooking. Counter space between the two units creates a convenient prep and staging area.
Pizza Oven Above the Fireplace
The pizza oven is positioned above the fireplace firebox on a structural shelf — the fireplace hearth extends as the oven landing area, and the pizza oven dome sits above the fireplace opening. This vertical configuration is very compact and creates a dramatic visual statement. Requires careful structural engineering to support the oven weight above the firebox.
Full Outdoor Kitchen Wall with Both
A complete outdoor entertainment wall incorporating a gas fireplace insert, wood-fired pizza oven, built-in grill, countertop prep space, and flanking storage — all in one cohesive masonry structure faced in natural stone or brick. This is the ultimate outdoor living build and the most common configuration for premium Broken Arrow and Tulsa properties.
