It can't be denied, Let's Pizza takes vending machines to the next level. Instead of relying on ready-made options that are full of preservatives and other unhealthy ingredients, Let's Pizza makes pizzas on the spot from scratch. This not only ensures fresh ingredients (or at least relatively fresh ingredients), but also easily customizable ones. People can make up to 100 different combinations.
Invented by Claudio Torghele, the Let's Pizza vending machine features a few different devices to get the job done. The first automatically shapes the dough, another spreads on the tomato sauce whie a refrigerated compartment opens up to add ingredients like the classic cheese and pepperoni. From there it gets sent down to a custom infrared oven that bakes it in a single minute right before the customer's very eyes.
