Twirling pizza in air is definitely not a thing for everyone, but you can
flatten your pizza dough without the pin by manipulating it on a table: just
grab a section of the border and pull it outwards, doing this with both
hands at opposte points of the border. This is the way pizzaioli start their
job on the dough, then they soon go air-twirling while us mere mortals go on
working the dough on the table until it's stretched enough.
