Water pressure is a function of your city utility and gravity. Restricting pipe size doesn't increase or decrease the pressure the city gives you. And even the "wideside" pressure stays the same. If you close all the faucets in your house, your pressure doesn't go up. It is what it is and it's what the city gives you.

An open hose end and one with your thumb over it feels different, but its not a difference in the amount of pressure, just the size area over which it is dispersed.
