In Italy, a freshly baked pizza can be made right in front of your eyes with the new "Let's Pizza" vending machine in just under 3 minutes. Developed by Claudio Torghele at the University of Bologna, the machine creates and rolls out dough, spreads on tomato sauce, adds your choice of topping, and bakes it, providing customers with a pizza in a matter of minutes.
Currently there are 4 toppings available - bacon, ham, cheese and tomato, and fresh vegetable.
"I think is it really cool!" says Ugo Mbadugha, freshman at the University of Georgia. "I wish something like this was available here at school. Then we could get pizza at anytime without the wait of delivery."
The price of the pizza is about 4 euros, equivalent to about 6 U.S. dollars. Due to tough economic times in Europe, the low price of the pizza machine is another plus for its customers.
Because Italy is known for its cuisine and the time and care put into creating its dishes, some Italian chefs are not too excited about the pizza vending machine. According to Reuters, Pizzeria Brandi chef Marcello says, "Unfortunately, today people invent many things, but you can't make any comparison, especially in terms of quality. The only benefit is the price."
