With all due respect to Ms. Consiglio, I don't believe there is any
consensus on "real pizza."

I saw pizza-dough twirlers do it live in San Remo, Italy. I've seen
food shows with Italian chefs who do it. I have a recipe from Miami
from the '50s, that came from an Italian-American pizza maker, and it
doesn't fall apart.
