Fresh Pizza in 3 Minutes With Pizza Vending Machine

These are beginning to show up in Italy.  Not sure when we’ll be seeing them here.  It’s a pretty crazy idea and could be pretty cool.  This has pizza chefs in a tizzy, it’s just a matter of time before we’re all replaced by robots.

Gizmodo has the scoop:

Created by Claudio Torghele with some technology developed at the University of Bologna, it does it all. Mixes the flour and water into dough, makes the base, adds the tomato sauce, and finally puts the toppings on top. The whole process takes three minutes, thanks to the use of infrared rays.
