Craving a slice of pizza, but don't have the time/patience to get yourself over to your local pizza joint and wait for a slice? Enter the pizza vending machine. Let's Pizza, a vending machine that creates pizzas from scratch in 2.5 minutes, is coming to the U.S.

The machine, which contains an infra-red oven, is distributed by A1 Concepts, and it's already a hit in Europe, especially Italy. "The machine contains a specially developed bag of flour and a bag of mineral water. Every time you order a pizza, the machine will start making the dough, then shape it into a crust, and top it with organic tomato sauce," A1 Concepts' CEO Ronald Rammers says.

And yes, toppings are available. "We have our own facilities where we produce the toppings and it is possible to create any kind of pizza -- meat, fish, vegetarian, any kind," he adds. The suggested retail price for [an approximate 10.5-inch] pizza is $5.95, which is more than a tasty New York City slice but not so bad for a 10.5-inch pie. Rammers says you'll find Let's Pizza at malls, airports, hospitals, restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, universities, gas stations, bus stations, etc. Would you give it a try?

The best is to go to pizzeria, not a vending machines, and vending machines like this can make people lazy

Pizza should be made with the TLC and artistry of human hands.

It's not that complicated or cool. Just bake your own damn pizza at home. Americans are getting to be so lazy. This is really just asinine.

If past experience is a lesson, hot food from vending machines almost always consists of low quality ingredients and poor taste.

Would appreciate an Undecided or Other check-box. Years ago McDonalds tried to market McPizza, spending quite a chunk on special ovens but it flopped. Up here there's plenty of places offering pizza by the slice (gourmet & otherwise) so I don't much of a market.

Ive seen the quality of vending machine food (not counting chips) that people ate in my college. Id really rather not eat pizza of that nature. Who knows when they could have last changed it?

Oh my God could people be more lazy and impatient? Make your own homemade pizza! You will cut down fat and calories even with bigger portions, and you'll add more nutrients that your body needs. Even a greasy slice from Pizza Hut sounds better than that crap. What else are we going to put in a vending machine? Thanksgiving dinner? GET OFF YOUR LAZY ASS AND COOK!!!

Most cheese in cheap pizza is synthetic, made from casein, used in glues & Bakelite, YUM!

Seems like a good idea around bars and homeless shelters, but if you really want a pizza a machine will never replace homemade.
