A method for forming the crust of a pie, particularly a pizza pie, by rolling the crust to a predetermined thickness, placing the rolled crust over a pie pan, pressing the crust to the bottom of the pie pan by a disc-shaped platen, forming the sides of the pie by placing a contoured forming tool against the top of the disc-shaped platen and rolling the preformed roller around the edge of the pie forcing the edge of the pie against the side of the pie pan. The pie is trimmed by having a second roller which contains a circular or disc knife. Thus the axis of the disc knife is parallel to the bottom of the pie pan and spaced a predetermined distance above the disc-shaped platen. The disc cutter is placed against the top of the platen in the same manner as the knife forming roller and rotated around the edge of the pie pan in a manner to trim the excess dough from the pie. The cut is made slightly below the top surface of the pan.
