Lard was first used in pizza by Romans and is far superior than olive oil for baking in every way but one. It nearly never burns and is sweeter (as it is pork fat) and will maker a crisper crust(sorry that's just chemistry it's burning point is higher). But it is a heart attack waiting to happen so most NY pizza no longer uses it. And you can use it in any soda based recipe instead of olive oil not just yeast. So no pork lard can be used in any pizza Recipe as it is the Original ingredient NOT OLIVE OIL but it is as unhealth as it is great tasting. So you can use it in a soda recipe or a yeast. So sorry it is better tasting and was the original ingredient but is no longer used in most NY Pizza. My mom used to make a soda based crust with over a cup of lard in it and it was Heaven and would get you there to.

Here a old time Authentic pizza recipy as the romans used thow it is yeast based you could substitute 2 tsp. baking powder for the yeast .
