DIY Pizza ovens

Need to find fire clay bricks to make a pizza oven. So far the local brick company only makes red clay bricks - They've assured me they would work but through extensive internet research they wouldn't last very long and wouldn't retain as much heat as firebricks for a pizza oven.

Firebricks are beige in colour (which also helps with distributing light rather than the red bricks) and according to their composition - Would need one that has an alumina % between 20% to 30% and a high percentage of silica. So far, the nearest firebrick manufacture is in Saudi and they only produce bricks of 40% alumina :( {which would be bad for the pizza oven as a higher rating = higher heat conduction = uneven baked pizza with burnt bottom}

The rest of the materials needed are easily available but having a hard time finding firebricks. If y'all know of anyone who has build their own ovens here in doha through local supply, would really appreciate some info.
