A wood-fired oven is more than a backyard feature. It’s a return to slower meals, real fire, and gathering around something meaningful. But while the dome and firebrick get most of the attention, the pizza oven door is what transforms an oven from decorative to truly functional.

At Old West Iron, we build pizza oven doors that do three things exceptionally well: retain heat, regulate airflow, and add architectural presence. And we do it the traditional way—by forging them from solid steel in Teton Valley, Idaho.

Why a Pizza Oven Door Matters

A properly fitted pizza oven door dramatically improves cooking performance. Without a door, your oven constantly loses heat and becomes difficult to control. With the right door, you gain:

• Improved heat retention for consistent pizza temperatures

• Better fuel efficiency, using less wood

• The ability to cook multiple stages: pizza first, then bread, then roasts

• Protection from weather, animals, and debris

• Safer operation when the fire is active

In short, the door turns your oven into a controllable cooking system rather than just an open fire chamber.

Built for Real Heat

Our pizza oven doors are made from heavy-gauge steel, designed to withstand the extreme temperatures of wood-fired cooking. These are not thin decorative covers. They are working tools built for real ovens.

Features include:

• Solid construction to resist warping

• Venting options for airflow control

• Heat-resistant handles positioned for safety

• Clean frame lines for a proper fit

If you plan to use your oven beyond pizza—bread baking, slow roasting, or multi-day heat cycles—a quality door is essential.

Standard, XL, and Custom Options

Every oven build is different. That’s why we offer:

• Standard rectangular doors

• Arched doors for classic masonry builds

• XL double doors for larger ovens

• Custom sizing to fit unique openings

If your oven was built from scratch or follows a specific design, we can craft a door to match your exact measurements.

Aesthetic That Matches the Craft

A pizza oven often becomes the focal point of an outdoor kitchen. The door is what people see first. A hand-forged iron door adds:

• Old-World character

• Mediterranean or Western lodge styling

• Architectural weight and visual balance

• A sense of permanence

Instead of a lightweight insert, you get a piece of ironwork that complements stone, brick, or timber beautifully.

Finishes That Age Honestly

We believe in finishes that age with character. Rather than thick synthetic coatings that chip or peel, our doors are treated with traditional methods that allow the steel to develop natural patina over time.

This approach reflects how iron has been used for centuries—honest materials that improve with age when maintained properly.

Made in the USA, Forged with Purpose

Every Old West Iron pizza oven door is:

• Made in the USA

• Crafted in Teton Valley, Idaho

• Built by a veteran-powered, family-run forge

• Designed for decades of real use

When you invest in a wood-fired oven, you’re investing in experience. The door should match that level of commitment.

Finish Your Oven the Right Way

If you’ve spent time building your oven dome, laying brick, and designing your outdoor space, don’t overlook the most important functional element.

A properly forged pizza oven door completes the system—improving performance while elevating the entire look.
