How many pizza's are you making? I'm just going to put a stone in my 22" - empty nest now, cooking for two. If you're pizza challenged, master making pizza with the tools - flowered peel, etc., - before you invest in a dedicated pizza oven. My suggestion...
Weber Summit Kamado with SnS and Vortex.. Broil King Baron, Primo Oval Junior. Primo XL. Love grilling steaks, ribs, and chicken. Need to master smoked salmon. Absolutely love anything to do with baking bread. Favorite cool weather beer: Sam Adams Octoberfest Favorite warm weather beer: Yuengling Traditional Lager. All-time favorite drink: Single Malt Scotch
xaugievike, is that a Weber Summit Charcoal Grill in your profile? You could make some killer pizza with that grill! Get that rip-roaring hot, and put a pizza stone or steel in there, and you will be ready to roll.
alas - pizza has been my kryptonite brother! I've tried rip-roaring hot, and not so hot, and everywhere's in between. I've tried the coals down low....I've tried the coals up high. I can burn me the hell out of a crust and have me a mushy top. I can melt the cheese nice and brown and have a chewy bottom.....I"ve used a stone, and I've gone straight to the grate....no joy!
For a NY style Take it to 450 degrees. I have a double pizza stone that I use, and I love it. The stones stack one on top of the other, with an air gap in between. The gap helps keep the bottom from burning. I usually elevate the stone about 4†above the grate to get more into the dome, to get radiant heat to cook the top of the pizza.

Yea it does look like an Uuni (now Ooni) knock off. Ooni is a kick-starter company out of Scandinavia, been around about 6 years. I've had my eye on one but still toying with the idea of building a real brick one. Here's their website if interested;
