An outdoor pizza oven that reportedly began breaking apart after its first use is the central complaint about Anelli’s Masonry. In an August 2025 Google review, the homeowner says the mason had promised firebrick and heat-resistant mortar. They report following the curing and seasoning instructions, then obtaining a second mason’s opinion that incorrect materials had been used. The customer says Anelli’s returned and maintained that the brick was firebrick. Other customers describe completed outdoor masonry more positively. An April 2025 reviewer praises a stone-and-block entryway, stairs and retaining wall; an April 2022 reviewer praises an outdoor fireplace. Google displays 4.3 stars from six ratings.
Please be aware! We used this company to build a pizza oven in our yard. He stated that he was going to use firebrick and heat resilient mortar. We waited yhe time required to setup and then seasoned the oven as required . We were able to use it once and it started to break up. He came back and insisted that it was firebrick that was used. We called in another mason for a second opinion and we learned that the pizza oven was built inferior, with the incorrect materials. This company in our opinion is not worth using.
Our new outdoor stone & block entryway, stairs and retaining wall came out great, Anelli’s expertise and craftsmanship was outstanding.
