Is the secret to great NYC pizza crust the water. “NYC water is soft”

Is the secret to great NYC pizza crust the water. “NYC water is soft” Is it because soft water gives you the best results or that the water must come from NYC.
I think it’s soft water that makes the difference.

New York City's water is considered soft water. It comes from a series of reservoirs and is treated before distribution, which helps reduce the mineral content that makes water hard.

Charleston, South Carolina, typically has hard water. This means it contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium.

Yes, calcium and magnesium can affect pizza dough. They are both important minerals that can influence the texture and structure of the dough. Calcium helps strengthen the dough structure, while magnesium can impact the fermentation process and enzyme activity. These minerals are naturally present in ingredients like flour and water. However, if you're using water with a high mineral content, it could potentially influence the dough's behavior. Keep in mind that the specific effects can vary depending on the type and amounts of these minerals present in your ingredients.

When making pizza dough, it's generally better to use soft water. Soft water contains fewer minerals, especially calcium and magnesium, which can affect the texture and elasticity of the dough. Hard water can make the dough tougher and less pliable. So, if possible, using soft water will likely result in a better dough for your pizza.

Knowing what NYC water felt like and tasted like gave me this aha moment.
So I looked up NYC water information then Charleston SC.
Bingo.
NYC Soft water, Charleston was Hard water

Is this our secret to our Hollywood Pizza dough? Partially, our other ingredients add our distinct flavor and digestibility to our crust.

While building his Pizzeria in Hollywood, South Carolina during the Pandemic (Hollywood is 25 minutes from the heart of Charleston)
Terrence had a Rainbolt Magnation water treatment magnetic vortex installed into his water system to treat the Charleston County municipality hard water.

met the owners of Magnation water treatments while a resident in Santa Rosa California.
He started using it in the beauty industry as his secret tool.
Terrence was a “EMMY” award winning hairstylist before he became a pizzeria owner.
I started using this water treatment device at home and in the salon so hair and body wouldn’t feel like slime after washing like it does with traditional salt added water softeners. It makes the hair less frizzy and keeps hairs cuticle a little tighter. Keeps you from having to use all those hair oils to fill porous hair to make your hair feel smooth and makes your hair color hold longer.

My Aha moment: If it change the way the water acts with Hair imagine what can be done with Cooking and Baking.

About Magnation-The Magnet
Magnation’s chemical-free water conditioning technology transforms hard, saline and previously unusable water into soft, high-quality “rainlike” water. Likened to the process of rain, agitated water molecules result in reduced surface tension for natural, high-quality, soft and vibrant water that moves and permeates easier.

Rainbolt magnetic treatments amplifies vortexing technology, invigorating and liberating previously bonded molecules for a more productive, active and life-giving water with strong polarization that prevents the binding of minerals for water softening.
