You’d need to line it with fire-brick.
But the space & shape are critical.
Find an Italian brick-layer.
You can basically lay a firebox on its opening and "tilit it" so the flue gases eliminate through a chamber out the back. Easy – if you know how. If not you could ruin your Pizza! If you have a fireplace or stove you can see the smoke leaning one way or another, try to create a second chamber around your oven which exits near the apex of this chamber. If you cause too much draft your oven will not get as hot as it could have.
