Pizza Vending Machine Makes Hot Pies in 2.5 Minutes

by Evan Shamoon on March 27, 2009 at 10:58 AM



With the hectic lifestyles we lead, we must often choose between eating a fresh meal or stale food from our local drive thru. But, we soon may be able to get a dish made from scratch almost immediately without cooking or leaving the workplace, thanks to a genius invention: pizza vending machines.

The "Let's Pizza" vending machine prepares fresh dough, shapes it, puts sauce and toppings on it, and cooks it for you. For skeptics who might think it's only reheating a frozen pie, it has a tiny window so you can watch your meal get made. Best of all, the machine can churn out a pie in just three minutes, all for a grand total of less than five bucks.

Right now, Let's Pizza is only in a mall in Trentino, Italy, but creator Claudio Torghele, will eventually bring the machines to the US and all over Europe. We can only hope they come out with a home version. [From: Dvice and Engadget]
