No. You simply CANNOT substitute yeast. The reason for this, is because when the dough rises, thats the yeast in action. So unless you want dough that resembles cardboard, I wouldn't take out the yeast. =D

Hi there,
All of the instructions about letting it rise and kneading it will be wrong if you do that. Yeast is what makes the dough rise, so... no yeast = cracker dough.
If cracker pizza is your idea of a good pizza meal, then by all means go ahead, but if you want it to turn out like you are expecting, then the one ingredient you can NOT substitute for something else is the yeast.
Please note that yeast is not expensive, and pretty much every grocery place stocks it. It is worth your time to buy yeast for your pizza dough... trust me. :-)

since its pizza dough, and pizza dough is not very ight and fluffly, then sure. it should be fine if you use a a tsp or so of baking powder. let me know how it goes! =]
