I watched these as well:

Are you still in the area? I'm asking because reconnaissance can go a very long way towards replicating a pizzeria's pizza at home. For instance, many pizzerias store their flour in a visible place. Same for tomatoes. The ovens will tell you a great deal of the story. Watching (or filming) them form a pie can be invaluable.
FWIW, this isn't NY Sicilian, but I have seen places in NY that do pies like this. I might even call it slightly L&B-ish:

That looks a whole lot like the pizza there! Judging by what pizza sauce they serve with their breadsticks, I believe the sauce is tomato paste based, so that’s something I know. I found a recipe for a focaccia type pizza dough, and I’ve heard Adriatico’s referred to that for awhile. It may be awhile before I can test it (I work a lot of overtime, and come home late a lot), but these are all good ideas. Thanks very much!
