    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.

    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.
