Is there a living room with a fireplace right off your kitchen? Is it weird to hang out in that room when someone is cooking? Would you rather have a dining room in that space? Just do it — a fireplace in a dining room is a lovely thing, and it doesn't need to dictate how you utilize the space.
If a pizza oven is too large of a commitment for you, perhaps a traditional fireplace is the perfect addition to your open kitchen and dining space. This fireplace, set behind the dining table, adds interest to the back wall and a homey glow to winter nights.
