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.

pizza vending machine

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?

    I'm not sure; i'm pretty sure there's a commercial out there telling America how horrible we are at spelling that was sponsered by b.p. somewhere out there. ಠ_ಠ But if not, I suggest stop with that offensive crap and possibly, buy a dictionary.

    It sounds like a cool idea, although I got my doubts about the quality of these Pizza's. I would like to try one. They should put ''Let's Pizza" vending machines in Holland ;-) (where I'm from)

    I can just imagine something going wrong and people ending up with food poisoning or something like that. Or the pizza comes out half cooked or burnt. No thanks.

    They thought coffee vending machines would be great, too. And they were - before the cost cutting turned the brown sludge they dispense to only nominally represent the product you were after. I don't see this one starting even being something we'd look back on as "used to be good"...

    With very few exceptions the only area where you can get good pizza in this contry is between Philladelpha and NY City

    Just what we need. More carbs and calories dispensed in a machine. More heart attack for your dollar on the go. We need healthier food products in vending machines.

    Nobody ever buy's healthy out of a vending machine.It is a big waste.
  • John T. tdterry... 2012/06/17 12:39:28
    John T.
    That is because junk keeps longer and is cheaper to manufacture, store and ship. Yes people do buy health out of machines when you can find them. Yes they do exist.

    You don't find them often because nobody's buy's healthy out of a machine.Well a few might.But the waste is too great to fool with..
  • John T. tdterry... 2012/06/25 03:40:06

    They don’t buy health food from vending machines for two reasons. One is the fact that there are not enough of them to use them. Two, because junk food is plentiful, handy and cheap.
  • tdterry... John T. 2012/06/25 15:28:26

    What ever you want to think.I say you need to go out and buy you some vending machines and put all healthy foods in them.I bet withi n 3 months you are out of business,.
  • John T. tdterry... 2012/09/09 16:43:52
    John T.
    Junk food vending machines are more prevalent because they take little care and the products have a very long shelf life.
    They do have some healthier alternatives and I have seen them. Some have healthier dry packaged products and some have fruit and juices and do quite well. Yes, they do take more care but like any good venture it is always Location, Location, Location as well as good care of the business.

    I have yet to see a good location for a healthy vending machine.But you never know.
  • John T. tdterry... 2012/09/16 13:46:09

    I have. You need to look more closely. Most are found in locations that have a high traffic areas like large hospitals, and airports.
  • tdterry... John T. 2012/09/17 03:43:28
    tdterry1999
    I will look.I'll even call the vending company and ask them how they are doing.That is if I can find any.
  • John T. tdterry... 2012/09/23 12:27:02

    Most of these vending machines require refrigeration and are not cheap. They will carry fresh fruit like bananas, oranges and apples fruit juices, milk or other health food bars and juices.

    So far I have found none.I have a friend that goes to Vanderbilt 3 times a week,He said he would check for healthy vending machines and let me know,

    Junk foods are the number one factors in obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Keep looking and asking your local vending companies more heather products.
  • tdterry... John T. 2012/10/01 01:03:45
    tdterry1999
    I would think overeating would be the cause of obestiy.I doubt if you eat one ding dong a day you would get fat.
  • John T. tdterry... 2012/10/07 12:37:13
    John T.
    Yes over eating is a major cause of obesity. People can over eat and not realize they are doing it. For instance when you are bored or stressed either watching TV sports or snacking at the work desk. Anytime that you consume more calories than you burn, you are over eating. That is when Junk food machines come in and pick your pocket with over priced goods and then you have to deal with the toxins you just consumed. These toxins consist of carbohydrates in the form of sugars, fats that build up in your system resulting in cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Other toxins are salt, contributing to high blood pressure and water retention, as well add other manufactured chemicals like MSG, that can eat out your stomach lining in time, and most ingredients that you can’t pronounce.
    I have been struggling with a weight problem from the time I came out of the active life to working in the field to working behind a desk. I did not adjust my diet to my activity and put on 30+ pounds in a very short time.
    Another contributor is the “grazing.” That is when you don’t eat much at one time, but have a cookie now some chips or crackers later and so on. If the activity does not meet or exceed the calorie intake you end up with weight gain.
