Information
The machine combines water, flour, tomato sauce, and fresh ingredients to make a pizza in approximately three minutes. It includes windows so customers can watch the pizza as it is made.[3] The pizza is cooked in an infrared oven.[4] The machine is made to create 100 pizzas before it needs to be refilled with its ingredients.[5]
History
Development of a pizza vending machine began in the mid-1990s. Originally, it was intended to be a machine that cooked frozen pizzas, but then it transitioned to one that cooked pizzas from scratch, which resulted in a working prototype in 2003. The machines were made in Northern Italy, and now they are produced in Croatia. Later that year, test marketing began in Germany. Rollout started in 2009: the machines spread over Europe, and especially through Italy. Let's Pizza entered the South Korean market in 2015.[6][7][8][9][1][2]
