Best Material (Stone/Brick) for Baking Pizza and Bread
I have built a dome-shaped oven for my backyard kitchen and just deciding what material to buy for the actual cooking surface. I have heard alot about Fibrament-D baking stones, but also many people have mentioned that simply some fire bricks work very well.
Im concerned with three things
-price
-weight
-good results (taste)
Please tell me whats best..

I don't have a WFO but in my ovens I've used both pizza stones and a Fibrament-D and definitely prefer the Fibrament. It is very durable (I've had pizza stones crack) and holds the heat better.
I have a wood fired oven and have "Fire Bricks" for the floor. Pizzas or bread may be placed directly on the floor.

You don't say that your oven is wood fired and I get the sense that you have it done already and just want to put something down to be the baking surface. Tell us more. What do you mean by "dome-shaped oven"? Is it finished or in progress? Typically for a wood fired oven you build the hearth first out of fire brick and then build the oven on top of that.
