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?

    ...looking spokeswoman but a good idea at best. If the pizza tastes tolerable at least this would be convenient at times. Don't know how New York City mayor Bloomberg will feel about a potential 24 hour fat dispenser though. NYC won't be able to limit how many of these pizzas a person can eat at one sitting.

    Well, it's got a vote for some form of convenience? Pizza can be good or bad, and it varies person to person. I wouldn't be able to give a true input without tasting the pizza myself.

    I won't touch it, but its a cool idea.
    Like the automated breadmaker, throw in the raw matierals and come back for the fresh baked loaf of bread a little later.
    I won't eat bread either though. Way too many carbs. My wife plans to live to 96 and I am determined to outlive her.

    Frozen pizza hasn't taken jobs from people, so I seriously doubt this will. With pizza, there are so many different things you can do to it to make it taste different that you have different preferences. This pizza isn't going to be able to replace anything, just offer its own taste to compete with the others.

    It's just like if I'm craving a Pizza Hut pizza, I'm not going to buy a frozen Red Baron's pizza and I probably wouldn't get one of these vending machine pizzas because it's not Pizza Hut. It probably won't taste like Pizza Hut.

    After watching the video above, it appears that there's only flour and water in the dough. No yeast? No salt? There's no way that dough can taste good. Pizza dough needs long, cold fermentation, that enables the wheat to reach it's full flavor potential. I can't imagine this pizza dough would taste any better than a piece of matzah.

    btw...human hands making my pizza is a good thing.

    Had a really good experience with something a little more primitive at an insurance company I worked for 13 years ago. French fries and chicken nuggets were available, too.too. Pretty decent, but there is potential for disaster if too much of a mass production mentality is embraced.
