This didn’t actually tell me *how* he became a world champion... It just tells us the tricks he used, how to spin dough, and some more tricks.

I like how the title is “how this guy” instead of his name or something cause this man got some skill.
Amazing way to start 2020

This guy must be happy on his job.

Makes me miss working at sbarros pizza in the mid 2000's. Pizza spinning does take some time to get down but its not that hard. The hardest part is not putting a hole in it
Excellent camera placements!😀 👍
Justin is a cool guy and makes amazing pizza.
This is so satisfying to watch.

Justin is amazing! Not only very talented with pizza acrobatics, but he can make a great (edible) pizza as well. And he's a really nice guy too!
He do be spinning doe😳
Does anyone know if and /or how to sign up to be a part of the "scientist explains one concept in 5 levels of difficulty" because I'm a 13-year-old girl who would love to be a part of that because I love science and would like to be in that.

Q: Although he uses a special dough, did dough spinning start with real pizza dough that was used for pizza? In the 1960's I saw a pizza chef in a pizzeria window spinning dough. And I met someone in the '70's who said he learned to do it in a pizzeria he didn't say that the spinning dough was not used for the pizzas.
This was WAY more interesting than I thought it would be.

Ok. I rewatched it and you're right. Just guessing it's the bit where he sends a rotating pizza plate of fire into (potentially) the crowd that got that particular trick banned.

One thing i've learned about pros is it comes all about "Feel" at some point for anything.

If it weren’t for this video I’d have never searched for acrobatic pizza tossing 😯

9:26 He tossed the Fire Board right at that guy ....guessing that's why he isn't allowed to do that anymore.
Imagine you order a pizza, you look in the back and see him *dribbling* your dough lmao cool skills tho
I can do stuff with nunchucks, but as my silicone pizza finally arrived I can use only few of movements I already do, spinning pizza is way harder as it seems.

it actually does surprisingly. Handmade pizzas that are handstretched by tossing and spinning retain more air bubbles and have airier texture than pizzas with air squeezed out by a rolling pin.

it seems like there should at least be a "Taste" category in a pizza championship

it'd be more impressive if they used regular pizza dough not full of salt because it is even more delicate and is more skillful but of course most of these tricks are only possible bc of how tough the dough is.
@user-ky9qn4pg3w

Its not harder or more impressive with regular pizza dough. It just stretches 50 times faster so 1 2 tosses and or few spins and your doughball is large pizza size. Play a second more and it's ripped.
