We turn to our grills, but other brands have limitations on what you can cook on them, or you need a few different pieces of equipment. With this YS640, you need just the unit and an accessory or two (like the pizza oven)

Pizza on a Pellet Smoker

As a certified Pizzaiolo, the pizza oven accessory for the YS640 rivals that of my traditional wood-fired pizza ovens. With temps over 600°F, this thing is AMAZING! One thing I always preach when it comes to making pizza is to preheat your pizza stone before you start. While the unit may say 600°F +, the stone may not be at temp!
