Luv My Egg, just my opinion here, but I think just a load of fresh lump will give you the smoke flavor that you are looking for. Not over powering, but just a hint of smoke. Of course, the brand of lump makes a difference. I wouldn't use mesquite or maple, but an oak or a hickory would be nice.

Luv My Egg,
I love smoke on my pizza, and since they are done in 7 minutes or so, they don't pick up that much smoke. I toss in a handful of hickory chips just before I put the pie in, no soaking.

Luv My Egg, I think there is a difference between wood fired brick oven pizza and adding smoking wood to flavor your pizza.
For most breads and Pizza cooks, plain charcoal is sufficent in smoke to tint the doughs and ingredients.
You can overpower the flavor of the pizza with too much smoke.
The smoke from a log fired brick oven is drawn out and away from the pizza..The pizza is way back in the ovens brick surface. Thus the really long handles on the pizza peels.
