It’s not the dough, it’s the water...
Flour is flour...
Okay but flour and water make the dough.
The water is important but flower is not flower. NE pizza crust is made with high gluten flower. Many places outside of the NE use all-purpose flower. Big difference. Also the temperature the pie is cooked at is important as is the surface it’s cooked on.
I went to college with a guy whose family owned 2 pizza joints in NY who told me this when we were complaining about the pizza we were able to get in near school.
