Have you ever wanted fresh pizza but didn’t want to pay the hefty price tag or wait for the 30-minute delivery? Well an innovative European-based food company is fixing that problem with its Let’s Pizza vending machines that produce a made-from-scratch pizza in less than three minutes.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The vending machine, which was developed by Claudio Torghel, comes from A1 Concepts – a company based in the Netherlands. Let’s Pizza has become quite popular throughout Europe, which is why the company has decided to plant a U.S. headquarters in Atlanta later this year.<\/p>\n

The process of installing the vending machines is expected to be swift, and A1 hopes their tasty convenience pies will be met with open arms in the states.<\/p>\n

If you’re wondering how the pizza is made, it’s a rather simple process.When a customer approaches the machine, they first make their flavor selection from one of four options. In Europe, those selections included Margherita<\/a><\/strong>, Salami, Prosciutto, and Speck. But stateside options may be more American-friendly.<\/p>\n

Once paying – an average of $5.95 depending on the location – the machine gets to work churning out a fresh, never-frozen pizza. The first step is mixing the flour and water into a pizza dough<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0before it’s rolled out into a 10.5-inch wide disk. The pie is then spread with organic tomato sauce followed by the customer’s toppings of choice. Next, it makes its way to a 380 degree infrared oven that cooks the pizza in about 60 seconds.<\/p>\n

In just under three minutes later, the customer has a “healthy, genuine Italian pizza,” for less than six bucks. A simple paper box is made to dispense the pizza onto. And the machine also provides a packet that contains a disposable pizza cutter, a packet of oregano and a napkin for easy dining. A video of the process can be seen below.<\/p>\n
