According to the New York Daily News, “Dough flew high and far at the Javits Center on Sunday as members of the United States Pizza Team demonstrated the extreme sport of pizza tossing.”
“Expert pizza flingers twirled chunks of dough behind their backs and between their knees, dazzling crowds at the 2009 International Restaurant and Foodservice Show. The entire front row ducked when one dough spinner leaped from the stage like a rock star and tossed the pizza-to-be under his legs before he landed. Two-time national champion Ryan LaRose and other members of the team will be heading to Italy for the Olympics of Pizza next month. They’ll be representing America – and Brooklyn in particular.”
