What are "Presses"?

Noticed a picture of this sign pop up at the top of the forum.

What are "presses"?

Paninis perhaps?

Basically, it's like like some dude looked at his George Knight t-shirt press and said..."Hey, I've got a good idea".

Watch to the end....it's more than just squeezing dough.

Fresh off the press..

Fresh off the press..

The fact that they can be par-baked is a game changer for those who like a crisper crust throughout without having to put up with charcoal on the edges.

And with options to do tortillas, and paninis....what's not to love?

It's the lazy american way of not stretching a pizza.

As james burk posted, it's a press for pizzas, would be same as rolling them with a rolling pin. You'd get the thin crunchy pizza crust.
Stretched pizza dough is more authentic, which would be your typical newyork pizza.

Looks like they ran that layout through a press more than once to cram as much as they could into the vertical height available.

Definitely. The telephone number blends in terribly, and would have been better served on its own panel below the sign.

That and the god awful multi outlines.
Also, while not the worst, why go with blue and black for your pizza joint color scheme? If anything shows up on you're pizza that's black or blue, something is askew...
Ok, whatever, black olives, but that cyan blue?

Are you still talking about pizza?

Nevermind. I missed some of the conversation.

"Traditional" pizza colors follow the Italian flag....red, green and white.

Yeah, it looks like a tow truck sign, not pizza pies.

There a colors to use when making signs for food or food places and then there are colors to stay away from, when making signs for food or food places. This designed didn't seem to know either rule.

IMO phone numbers on signs are 100% useless. Especially this one since it doesn't tell you the last 4 numbers lol.

I don't even know if you are serious or not.

So basically "presses" is a different way to make pizza. I suppose there are people that seek out this type of pizza.

Ah, the phone number debate. It used to be back in the day we'd tell people to leave the number off their sign because "you don't have your phone with you in the car, you've gotta look it up in the yellow pages when you get home anyway." All outdated thinking these days. I guess because we used to think that way, now I think since we do have phones with us all the time maybe the phone number is handy to have. But then that same phone can be used to look up the number via Google. Usually I leave it to the customer to decide. And sometimes the phone number is handy to use for a space filler if the logo doesn't fit the sign dimensions well.

This is what I did before entering the sign world. I've thrown thousands of pizzas in my lifetime. Can't imagine why a press would be any better honestly.
