If you roll it with a pin, you'll have to let the dough start to rise
again before you bake it -- but that takes what, 30 minutes at the most?
It can be doing that while you prepare the sauce and grate the cheese.

I make a very moist pizza dough and I press it into the pan with my
fingertips. It could be rolled, but you'd have to use a lot of flour on
the board.
