Dough – How to you tell if pizza dough has been kneaded enough

doughpizza

I am making pizza dough for the first time. I know that you can use the window test and the poke test for bread, to see if it has ben kneaded long enough. Can you use the same tests for pizza dough and bread sticks? Some of the recipes say only knead for 2 minutes, other say 7-8 minutes. I can not find any tips for how to tell if it is kneaded enough.

The window test works well for pizza as well and is really the only one of which I am aware. I do not believe the poke test will work as well.
