First time pizza at home

The pizza was super tasty. I don't have a mixer so I mixed the dough by hand wich wasn't anything super crazy but obviously wasn't enjoyable. I used instant yeast and 00 flour. I wasn't sure if I should still make a starter using instant yeast, so I just went ahead and did it this time, and next time I will skip it and see what happens. Anyhow, mixed up just equal weight flour and water, and a gram of the instant yeast. I let that sit at room temp for a few hours, then put it in the fridge overnight, maybe like 16 hours. Next day I mixed the rest of the ingredients together by hand until I thought it was good, let it rest for an hour, split it in half and out both halves back in the fridge for another 24 hours or so. The dough seemed a bit stickier than it should have been but at this point I just went with it. I used an alluminum pizza pan in an electric oven set to 525 degrees F. I used a good amount of semolina flour dusting on the pan as well. Cooked the pizza for about 13 minutes. The edges of the crust were super crisp despite the coloring, and everything did taste amazing. I expected the dough to rise a bit more than it did considering how much it rose in the fridge. I suppose it could have just been the recipe, but I suspect the lack of a mixer or even just the way I prepped the dough to be the issue. If theres anything obvious that stands out as to why, tips are welcome.
