Hold on to your rolling pins, pizza restaurateurs — things are about to get a little weird. That's because today the world's first 3D pizza printing company, BeeHex, Inc. announced it has teamed up with Ribalta Neopolitan Restaurant Executive Chef Pasquale Cozzolino to make a 3D printed pie.

Cozzolino, who also owns the New York City and Atlanta restaurants, is the pizza pro behind the venture, in charge of devising the right dough, sauce and cheese to work in the printer. He is working with a team of people at BeeHex, including Anjan Contractor, to create the best recipes for the futuristic pie-maker and baker.

The BeeHex group builds systems that solve food production and dispensing problems. The company's pneumatic 3D printing hardware and app-to-order delivery system are bringing big changes to the pizza marketplace.

How big and how new?

To get an idea of how this type of system might actually change things for pizza lovers and pizza restaurateurs, you need only look at the prep and cook times for the new devices. For instance, the company developmental prototype prints oven-ready pizzas in any shape imaginable in under four minutes. Likewise, BeeHex is developing a 3D food printing kiosk that creates and bakes a pizza every 60 seconds...

Guy on the left: "I want to make a printed pizza that tastes delicious!"

Guy on the right: "I want controlling interest for my investment money, leveraged into multiple franchise startups centered around further technology development, funded against future earnings backing derivative patents to enable a second-tier startup based on hands-off app control that can be commoditized for regulatory leverage to deny competitive entry. And I want to get rid of this blue collar guy as soon as possible."
