Another option is to use a Kamado grill with a pizza stone. They can get very hot, and with the charcoal it gives it a nice smokey flavor. You can add wood chunks for extra flavoring as well. It's hard to eat pizza from the oven now after we have starting cooking them this way!

This is what I do as well, and the results are amazing. Another benefit is that with the right dough and temperature, the pizza bakes in two minutes or less.
A far cheaper, easier to use and easier to clean option is an Uuni oven.
I have a Big Green Egg (kamado-style grill) with 1" thick ceramic wall, which might be a comparable thermo substitute for the brick. Reaching 600° F is no problem.

Because it's wood (or charcoal) fired, so you get the flavor from the wood.

And with a BGE pizza stone, you get indirect heat on the bottom of the pie.

Whole setup works great. I used it recently to reheat half-baked (lol) pizzas from Berkeley's Cheese Board Pizza Collective (aka, our communist pizza). Very tasty.
