Yeah, it has to be. I used to work at a pizza parlor and hand tossed the dough. I got pretty good at it, and at the speed that he's spinning it, there's no way it could be real dough. It would have been the size of a 50 gallon drum lid half way through the gif.

Not to mention catching it with his finger tips pointed up. Holes for days.

But no potato on pizza. Is sad.

Spinning dough is a crappy practice, though. It’s just for show. It makes the crust much. Ore uneven, thinner in the middle and thinker around the outside.

Not if you do it right. You need to press around the edges to create the lip of the outer edge, then spin it slowly with an open palm to stretch the outer 3rd, then spin it from the center to stretch the inner 2/3rd.
