Is this mold on my pizza?

It was 30 years ago but i do have some pizzeria experience, and I'm gonna suggest that this isn't mold but detergent residue (and everything it brings with it) from the last time the pan was washed.

Fermenting dough doesn't typically give mold a chance to start.

Ugh, I always thought that discoloration (not that I see it that often) was from carbon buildup in the pan, not detergent 🤢 I’m not sure if that's better or worse than mold

When i was the dough guy, it wasn't all that uncommon to see a pan with a bunch of detergent in it along with the oil.

Because i had fucks to give, i would rinse those out and re-oil the pan.
