Default Pizza Followup question

I've reduced the sugar in the formula from my textbook almost to none
because my pizzas came out too cake like on the baking sheet. Now that I
have a stone, do I put that sugar back in to compensate for the extra
crispiness created by the stone?

I don't use sugar in my pizza dough. Try it without first.

I use a bit of sugar or honey to proof the yeast, but none while making
the dough. When I use sourdough starter instead of yeast, I use no
sugar at all. The pizzas(either yeast or sourdough) come out well on a
baking stone.
