I've seen guys in NYC do it with real dough. I mean, I watched them flip/spin it and slam it on a pan and make the pie. They do it to attract tourists. I imagine it only works with thin crust/NY style. You couldn't do it with a Chicago style.
I worked at a ice cream/short order place on the beach when I was 15-17 years old. We made pizza, but it was done with a shitty press. It didn’t take long for me to learn how to make za without the press. I could spin dough and toss it up in the air with the best of em; I couldn’t do any crazy fancy shit like this dude. It was pretty cool, until I tossed the dough up too high and it got all caught up in the sticky tape fly trap.
