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?

    So should we tell people what to eat.How to live there life.The healthy foods needs to come way down for people to start eating them.

    No, we should provide an affordable better option. I personally don’t care if you are intent on killing yourself slowly with this junk, but I would prefer that those that I know and love have better options.

    Here is an idea, Get Recess back into the schools so kids can get out and be active like we Sr. Citizens did when growing up. There were fewer obese students then. You might even cut back on the money they can spend on campus for sweets.

    New York has something that most cities across the country do not have. Good Delicatessens and the new version of the old Automat.

    I remember the awesome french-fry vending machine we had in college - it was innovative tech at the time. Made decent fries, too. I would love to try vended pizza, just for the heck of it :D

    Okay, I understand some people don't have time to cook. Vending machine pizza? No thank you. I love fresh out of the oven pizza. I use to work in Boston and there is nothing like a hot North End pizza.

    I have to agree with you. Cold pizza is only second best. Pizza with organic uncured meats etc is the best.

    No thanks. I'm trying to imagine when the inside mechanisms are ever cleaned. In any case, pizza averages 300 calories A SLICE. My pizza days are mostly behind me.

    These are not new, they have been around for at least 20 years. This particular type is new, but you could buy nasty pizza from a machine for decades. Hopefully this one is better quality, since it makes fresh crust?!?! The old ones were just warmed up frozen pizza. I would try it just to see.

    This is not new. This technology is new, but pizza vending machines have been around for years. There are also french fry, and hot dog machines to name a few.

    What would be really cool is if the hot dog machine made the hot dogs while you watched... From slaughter house scraps to tube steak in seconds! yummy!

    guess it's as good as what we had in the day. Cold chicken sandwiches that sit in machines for about 2 weeks before they throw them away.
