There is nothing more important in a pizza crust recipe than the type of flour being used. It makes or breaks the entire recipe. I'm very disappointed that the ingredients list just says "flour". What kind?? All purpose? 00 Italian? Bread flour? You can't just use any old flour and expect good results. Papa John's uses a propriety high protein flour. This being the case, bread flour is probably a good bet since 00 Italian pizza crust flour is probably a bit too pricey for mass production use.
