    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.
