A portable oven cooks a great pizza for a few hundred dollars. The jump to a built-in oven is mostly about the outdoor kitchen around it, not the pizza.

How we estimate this

What a pizza oven costs in Darwin
Darwin's tropical build-up and wet season mean a built oven needs a well-ventilated, roofed structure to be usable through monsoon rain and extreme humidity, and any built structure attached to or near the house falls under cyclone tie-down and fixing requirements, which lifts both labour and materials above a simple garden oven elsewhere.
Remoteness is the defining cost: heavy masonry ovens, pre-cast domes and refractory firebrick are scarce locally and expensive to freight the long distance north, and the small trade market carries some of the highest labour rates in the country with little price competition. Aggressive tropical coastal corrosion also attacks any flue or exposed metal fast, so stainless and treated fittings are a necessity rather than an upgrade.
