A pizza oven turns a backyard into the place everyone ends up. We design and build custom wood-fired pizza ovens for homes and commercial properties in Calgary, sized and styled to fit your space.
Pizza ovens run very hot and sit outside through Calgary winters, so the materials and the construction matter. We build with heat-resistant masonry that holds heat well and stands up to repeated use and freeze-thaw weather.
A good oven becomes the centre of the yard. We plan where it sits and how you'll use it, so it looks like part of the space instead of something dropped in.
Custom Pizza Oven Design & BuildBuilt-In Outdoor Cooking SystemsResidential & Commercial Pizza Oven BuildsDurable Heat-Resistant MasonryEvery build starts with how you'll use it: how often you cook, how many people you cook for, and how much room you have. We design around that.
Then comes the construction. We plan how heat moves through the oven and how each material handles sustained high temperatures, and build it layer by layer for a clean finish that holds up outdoors.
Precision matters. A well-built oven heats evenly, stays stable and lasts.
A pizza oven runs hotter for longer than almost anything else in a backyard, so the materials matter. Here's what we usually build with.
Firebrick is the traditional choice for the inside of the oven. It holds heat well and releases it evenly, which gives steady cooking temperatures.
Often used for the outside and the surrounding structure. It's tough, textured and looks at home in a backyard.
If you like the look of stone or brick but want less weight, veneer gives you the same look with a strong, long-lasting finish.
We can source eco-friendly and sustainably produced masonry materials if that matters to you, with no loss in performance.

I'd wanted a wood-fired pizza oven for a long time, but never knew where to start. DMG Masonry helped us come up with a design that fit our backyard without taking over the whole space.
The finished pizza oven looks really clean and fits the space perfectly.
A wood-fired oven brings warmth and a bit of ceremony to a backyard. We build custom ovens for homes across north and south Calgary, designed for steady heat and to match the style of your outdoor space.

It comes down to the build: heat-resistant materials and a design that holds heat well. A well-built oven keeps steady temperatures, so cooking is predictable.
Yes. We tailor the size, shape, finish and style to your project so it fits your space and the way you cook.
A new oven needs time to cure. The masonry and mortar have to dry out slowly, and the first fires need to be small and gradual to avoid cracking. When your oven is finished, we'll give you a curing and first-use schedule for it.
Most builds take from one to a few weeks, depending on size, design and materials. After we review your project, we'll give you a more exact timeline.
Both work well. Firebrick lines the inside of most ovens, and stone or brick is used on the outside. For the outside, the choice mostly comes down to style and how the oven fits your yard. We'll go through the options during planning.
Ask how many pizza ovens they've built, how long the build will take, what materials they use and how they handle heat and durability. We're happy to go through all of this at the first consultation.
Yes. Eco-friendly and sustainably produced masonry materials are available for pizza ovens. We can talk through the options when we design your oven.
