Kids want thick crust

We make pizza every week and my kids really like thick, soft crust. I’ve been baking on a steel, but the crust turns out too chewy. Should I try using a pan instead or change how much water is in the dough? And any fun ideas to get the kids more involved while making pizza? Thanks everyone!!
 
Hi! yep, happened to me too. Steel made it too chewy for my little ones. I started using a nonstick sheet pan with a bit of olive oil and it made a huge difference. Also, I let the kids shape mini pizzas and paint the sauce with brushes. Total hit!
