I can imagine how they can do that.  I've made a total of less than 
five pizzas in my life and I can see that if I make five *HUNDRED* 
pizzas I'd be that good too.  :)  I lived in NYC for 15 years and had 
been to countless pizzerias and watched pizzas made a zillion 
times.  It's not impossible.
