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?

How can you judge the quality of the product without first tasting it?
For those of you arguing it's not fresh or too artificial, then how is it popular in Italy. They would be the most picky about fresh ingredients and originality.
How is this good for anyone...

out of some of these low rate traditional pizza joints that frequently pop up on our blocks
from time to time to try to cash in on the business of deceint establishments such as
Shakeys, Straw Hat, Little Caesars, Pizza Hut, etc. While many of these independant
establishments are quite good, we still have to address all of the "fly by nighters" that are
just out there to make a fast buck. Seccond, there are food safety issues that need to be
dealt with involving food vending machines. If a pizza vending machine is to be a part of
an automat style setup or part of the line-up of vending machines in a 24 hour automated
canteen or snack bar, both of which are usually subject to routine inspections by the county health and safety department (and they are often quite strigent), then that's a different story. I don't see any significant issue with this type of situation. I most other settings, however, you can consider me pretty much opposed to pizza vending machines
simply popping up pell mell in any available nook and cranny in on any street corner; in any park; roadside rest area; transportation terminal; institute of learning; office building; et cetera, outside of the aforementioned automat style set-up. The risks to public health are
simply too great.
