What does "around" mean in this sentence?
"Around" in this sentence means "in this place" or "positioned or moving in or near a place, often without a clear direction, purpose, or order." This sentence is worded weirdly, but he indicated that someone drank tea at your house last Saturday. Ex: He'll be around your house soon. Ex: She's around here somewhere. Ex: I'll be around on Saturday. Ex: Why are your clothes lying around?

What does "yourself" refer to here? and shouldn't it be "themselves" not "yourself"?
You are correct, the speaker misspoke here. She should have said "themselves" as she is referring to the action made by the pizza makers themselves. Using "yourself" here is wrong. Or, she could have said "you can come and see them make the dough yourself," or "you can come and see for yourselves them make the dough" to refer to the action of personally seeing the dough being made.

Is there any reason he said "find" not "see?
He uses the word "find" here because he is looking for the monkey. He doesn't just want to watch the monkey, he wants to get him back. So he uses "find" to express that he doesn't know where the monkey is and he is trying to find him.

Does "It" refer to the technology "TruYou"? Is "It's" here an abbreviation of "It has"?
That's correct, the speaker is referring to "TruYou" here when she says "it." She is stating that the technology "TruYou" has simplified the experience of using the Internet. "It's" here is the contraction of "it" plus "is." Ex: It's the best painting I've ever seen. (It is the best painting I've ever seen.) Ex: It's not the best cake I've ever baked. (It is not the best cake I've ever baked.)
