Perri's Pizza Dough

Recipe by Joe PerriCuisine: Italian

Below is a pizza dough recipe handed down by Joe Perri, a former pizza maker at Pee-Wee's Pizzeria when it was open decades ago in the 1960s on 20th St. and Pine Avenue in Niagara Falls, NY. This recipe may have been adapted since the Pee-Wee days, but I have used it ever since it was passed to me and I've never had a bad tray since.
