Seriously,

This thing is incredible, I want to see it in the US. I searched all over the Googles and only came up with these old articles from 2012 about how it's coming to Atlanta. But where? Someone tell me so I can go to it.

Seriously though, if this thing was attached to a Red Box? Guaranteed money-maker!
Here's their page though - they have an email address where you can contact them. I'm sure they'd be able to give you info on if/when you can find it in the US?
Yeah, I agree. It is a neat idea, but that pizza doesn't look very good. It looks like something you'd find in a high school cafeteria.
and I know how often even simple vending machines break, that things got to be horrible to keep running all the time.
... destination number two, colleges.
Would I drink that juice?
fuck no
How is the machine supposed to keep itself clean? Does someone come along and scrub all the juicing and dispensing componentry clean every day?
Same with the pizza maker. How does the sauce dispenser nozzle stay clean? Who wipes the cheese slice dispenser tongs when they get all gunky after making a few dozen pizzas?
That being said, if I saw one I'd use it. I'm surprised no one here as seen or tried one.
Hey, if I thought it would be good, I'd be all over it. And I'd definitely give it a fair shot if I saw one around.
I'm just saying: when I took my first bite, I'd be standing over a trash can.
Well, when it gives oven numbers, I'm guessing it's in celsius. If it's in the mid 300s, that'd cook a pizza that size pretty damn quick.
380 degrees is not less than half even if they are speaking in Fahrenheit. Given that the whole thing takes two and a half minutes I'm guessing that it's Celsius.
Apparently there are a few of these in London.
It'll have to self-clean. It's not just going to gunk up. That's silly. Even in a world without hygiene standards you can see the process through the little window to alleviate just that type of fear.
To all you people hating on it, I do agree that this probably wouldn't make a good pizza, but if it did, imagine the possibilities! It makes everything from scratch, arguably in a more authentic method than most pizza places, the only difference is the heating process. Cleaning might be a concern, but the mechanisms don't actually seem that complicated and everything is in a well-spaced box, so maybe any regular person could get in there and wipe it down. It's the harbinger of a brave new world. I actually read about it two years ago, but only remembered it while discussing futurism with an acquaintance (who refused to believe in the machine's existence at first).
If any Londoners or Italians want to hunt this down and review it for me, that'd be great. Incredibly curious about how this pizza tastes.
This right here... this is wrong. Dough that's just made as a mix of flour and water with absolutely no chance to rise and develop flavors will taste like crap. Hopefully they're simplifying by just saying water and flour, because at the very least you need some salt in the dough as well. Also, the whole process only takes 3 minutes, including the kneading, so there's going to be practically no gluten development from the flour so say goodbye to any decent texture in the crust.
Most pizza places pre-make their dough, so it's ready to go and they can shape it, top it, and bake it quickly, but the dough itself has had time to develop.
I mean, you could duplicate this process pretty easily at home to get an idea what it will taste like, but I'd brace yourself for disappointment.
As to flavor:
Please note that the young lady in the 'Let's Pizza!' commercial bites into but is not actually shown chewing/swallowing the pizza.
That case is closed, folks.
You can have gourmet pizza from the most famous chef in the world, or you can have a robot pizza. Totally different experiences.

Someday, you're going to walk to your favorite steakhouse on a hot date with your wife, only to find that said steakhouse has been replaced by a 'Steaks4Two' vending machine. And after you've put your coins in, and the machine has finished it's advertised '45 second!' grilling, you are going to put on a fake smile as you split the most overdone slice of roast beef you've ever handled with the woman you love and say, "It's progress, honey."
No pizzeria is getting replaced with robots...
Is this what it is? Fear of robots?
Because I get it, I do. But it's one robot making a shitty pizza. A shitty pizza revolution this does not, and will not, make.
People will get a shitty pizza from the robot, get that experience out of their system, and move on to greener pizza pastures. I doubt this will become a thing.

I'd bet money on even most chains winning out over 3 minute robot pizza, even ignoring the fact that you can tell the difference just by looking at them -- though if the chain is CiCis it might be a toss-up.
If they could make a vending machine that somehow stored pre-made and risen dough safely, then I'd say it's a lot closer. But that creates a lot more effort in maintenance and stocking the machine. Dry flour and water are obviously a lot easier to store in a machine than dough.
You will be the end of civilization, sir.

you pizza
It seemed to be little more than a freezer with a hair dryer strapped to it. I used it so very much.
For novelty's sake I would probably say try it once. But it would take a lot to go to a chain company machine over my local pizza place or making it fresh at home.
You should've Pizzaed when you French Fried.
Get yourself a license to sell medical marijuana, as well. Legal weed and pizza dough that's made in what looks like a tiny little washing machine is like the definition of synergy.
