I'm a pro ny style pizza chef at a upscale pizzaria. I'm also a avid ny style pizza maker at home so I understand the difference's required to make pizza at home. Id rather talk on discord or text as its much easier to send messages. my discord is cahleb#0178.

>how to make pizza stretch like commercials?
develop enough gluten that it can stretch thin without tearing, than properly relax that gluten so its extensible, fermentation and temperature of dough play a role as well.

>what mix of cheese
either all whole milk low moisture mozz or mix of wmlm + a melty but flavorful cheese like provolone or pepperjack. Than grate dop parmigiano reggiano or grana padano on after or under the cheese.

(probably) dont do this. Blast the broiler on the stone for 5 min before to get an extra 70ish degrees on the stone, but turn it off during the bake. It will most likely brown the top too quickly and inhibit oven spring in the crust. If you have a weak broiler or weird oven it could work. if you want more browning in the crust, add more sugars to the dough. broil at the end if you want more browning
