Abstract: The present invention is an automatic pizza dough press device for forming uncooked pizza pie from fresh dough. It includes a main housing frame; a base tray located within the frame and mounted therein to be at least partially slidable therefrom and is adapted for interchangeable and reversible bottom molds; an upper encasement on the frame; controls, a pump, motor and a hydraulic piston and cylinder connected to the upper encasement, the controls being at least two separate disparate controls and being connected to the motor, the motor and pump being hydraulically connected to the piston so as to move the piston downward and upward, and the piston being generally biased in an upward position; and, a top press mold connected to the piston for reciprocal movement therewith. The top press mold includes a heating unit to enhance dough relaxation without baking it. The controls are located sufficiently apart to necessitate a user to use two hands to operate the device.
