From The Pizza and Pasta Forum Bean shares the following: Thin Crust Pizza Dough and 2 Neapolitan Sauce Recipes If you like pizzeria pizza, then these are the recipes for you!

I did make a few minor changes (less salt in all the recipes). YUMMY! Bill’s Thin Crust 1 c - Water 1 1/8 tsp - Sugar 2 tsp - Salt (not kosher salt) (1 t.) 1 1/2 T - Olive Oil 3 c - Hi-Gluten Flour(I used bread flour) 3/4 tsp - Instant Dry Yeast (Fleishman’s ADY) Variables changed: Went back to normal salt for this crust.
