Instructions

In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Add olive oil, salt, and flour gradually while mixing. Stir until the dough begins to come together.
Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide as needed. Roll out into desired pizza shape and thickness.
Add toppings and bake in a preheated oven at 475°F (245°C) for 12-15 minutes or until crust is golden and cooked through.

Notes

For best results, use bread flour for a chewier crust.
You can refrigerate the dough for up to 72 hours for a more developed flavor.
Freeze extra dough portions for future use.
