In Italy, A Vending Machine Makes the Pizza

Although 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).

Is there a picture of the pizza? I'm curious to actually see it.

Wait a second.

You're in Italy and you're going to a vending machine for pizza?!

That 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...

Next 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.

Wouldn't this sell way better on a college campus? Put it near the computer lab.

I love it! It's a great idea, and a scalable business.
