Firing up the v1.0.0 backyard pizza oven for the first time, I guess I went too hot too fast. Fortunately I can scavenge another rock from work and try again.

Meh. If I get a few decent cooks from it, its good enough. There's zero cost involved. And if/when the bottom goes out we'll scrap it and decide if its worth the trouble to do something more permanent.
You'll have better luck with concrete pavers. They will still crack eventually at pizza oven temps but they should last longer than natural stone, especially if you keep them dry.
