In Italy, A Vending Machine Makes the Pizza
- JimmyL 18y agoAlthough it's somewhat less complex, similar vending machines that make poutine (a French-Canadian dish that's basically fries with gravy and cheese curds) have been around for a while in Montreal. In thee machines, it starts with pre-cut fries. You see them dumped into some oil, fried for a bit, then dumped into the container. Cheese curds are then dropped on the pile, and it's finally shot with a bunch of gravy. All-in, it takes about four minutes, and it's pretty good poutine (if you like that stuff).

- rms 18y agoIs there a picture of the pizza? I'm curious to actually see it.
- Hexstream 18y agoNext thing you know, they'll be able to miniaturize and "cheaperize" still further and anyone will be able to buy one for home use. And they'll sell bags of all the ingredients you need.
- electromagnetic 18y agoEr... they've already done this, it's called microwavable pizza. You take the bag of ingredients (AKA frozen pizza) and insert said ingredients into the miniaturized oven and cook for 3-5 minutes.

- Hexstream 18y agoI know this, but I'm thinking the freshly baked pizza with fresh ingredients must taste fresher than a microwaveable frozen pizza... edit: Now that I think about it, they even have rising-crust frozen pizza. And we even eat some sometimes. I don't know what I was thinking!
- electromagnetic 18y agoYeah, never try cooking a rising-crust frozen pizza in a microwave... really doesn't work. However, I bet these machines would reap a fortune in college dorms as an alternative to frozen crap.
- goodkarma 18y agoI love it! It's a great idea, and a scalable business.
- gommm 18y agoThat would work well in Japan... There's already the restaurants/fast food where you choose the food on a vending machine get a ticket and give it to the kitchen staff... That would be a natural evolution of that...
- sanj 18y agoWait a second. You're in Italy and you're going to a vending machine for pizza?!
- ars 18y agoWouldn't this sell way better on a college campus? Put it near the computer lab.
