You are correct, but it's really both. You could not generate the centrifugal force without the the force against gravity to temporarily release friction long enough to spin the dough in between tosses.

How about both? Centrifugal when it's spinning apart in the air, and gravity when the person catches it and the sides of it stretch down due to gravitational force. And why am I answering this kind of questions? No wonder I never get chosen for best answer.

While both forces are at work when pizza dough is thrown in the air, it is the centrifugal force that streches the dough.

approximately 30 years in the past I worked in a pizza joint, and my pal and that i could be in the back of the counter, tossing and swirling the dough lower back and fourth, like a prepare....people could stand by employing to observe. when you consider that then, I lost the touch and tried it a pair months in the past. My fist went via it some circumstances and it ended up oval, no longer around. prepare does make appropriate, i assume.

I'm not sure...the C-force? I'd like cheese, sliced tomatoes and basil.
