How Do You Become a World Champion Pizza Spinner?

Pizza spinning is mesmerizing, but what if you added fire, multiple flying doughs, and the occasional behind-the-back spin? That’s how world champion spinner Justin Wadstein does it! Get ready—you’ve never seen dough spun quite like this before.

I have a very specific memory of seeing someone spin pizza dough for the first time. Our family was going out to dinner at our local Italian restaurant, and we were seated in the booth closest to the pizza making station. I noticed the man behind the counter pick up the dough and start throwing it in the air. I was transfixed: the way the dough spun, how easy it looked for him, I couldn’t stop watching. Maybe you have a similar experience—there is something truly amazing about watching. But how does spinning pizza dough prove it is still an amazing world? Just wait until you see a world champion pizza spinner in action!
