Your homemade pizza will taste even better with the smokey flavor the lump charcoal provides. You'll think your Big Green Egg is a very expensive Italian wood. The regular oak and hickory lump charcoal big green egg sells is good to use. I wouldn't add any smoking chips or chunks. You want the natural flavor of the pizza to show through.
