What a pizza oven costs in Melbourne
An open oven gets limited use in Melbourne's changeable, wet weather, so a lot of local jobs sit under a roofed alfresco or pergola so the oven earns its keep through the cold months, and that lifts the overall build above a simple garden oven. The city's period homes also push the surround and benchwork toward styles that suit a Victorian or Edwardian house, which adds detailing cost.
The reactive clay under much of Melbourne is the structural factor: a heavy masonry oven is a concentrated load, so its base has to be a properly engineered slab that won't crack as the clay swells and shrinks through the seasons, rather than a quick pad. Against that, Melbourne has one of the deepest pools of bricklayers and outdoor-build trades in the country, so a standard build stays genuinely competitive once the slab is sorted.
