I'd try it. Would you?

How much do those machines get paid by the hour? Is it a living wage?

[2ndDivisionVet]

And can they get decent healthcare, birth control, abortion-on-demand, vacations and union representation?

[GeronL]

we don’t need a bunch of little toaster ovens running wild in the streets!

Saw this on How It's Made (2nd segment, skip to 5:36. Meanwhile, enjoy the whip)

[GeronL]

want fries with that?

[tumblindice]

It’s like Hooters then is it?

[Secret Agent Man]

yup, the pizzas look like they could be decent.

When the $15 minimum wage hits, we will all be able to try this.

I’d give it a shot.

Though it does bother me in a couple of ways. First off - can it do as good a job as a stone based, wood fired oven? That gives a flavor that nothing can beat so far.

Secondly - the economy is already in the toilet. This machine pretty much requires one attendant to do the refilling and bus the tables between times, and that’s it, as opposed to the 5 or 6 needed in even a basic pizza place. Kid’s have a hard enough time getting into employment now.

Wow..Great! And it’s Italian invented..

The busty blonde looks to be hypnotized by the empty pie tins.

This is going to ruin Kramer’s “make your own pie” idea.

[Jeff Chandler]

The Let's Pizza machine has enough flour and tomato for 100 pizzas before it requires re-filling....

That ain't much.

For some reason, I was thinking there was something along these lines being tested out in the early 1990s. In that case, I think it was prepared crusts and you just pushed the buttons for the toppings you wanted. Been a long time, so I’m not sure if that ever came to pass.

As for Let’s Pizza!, I’d give it a shot. I kinda wonder how good the crust is, though. If the pie is supposed to be made and ready to eat in 3 minutes, there’s obviously no time to let the yeast in the dough develop. It’s probably a thin/crispy type of crust, though, so it probably wouldn’t be as much of an issue.

I don’t think it’s intended to take the place of a pizza restaurant. It’ll probably be used on campuses, office buildings, military posts, offshore, sports and entertainment venues, factories & warehouses and fairs and festivals.

Fair enough then :)

It’s a neat idea, like the fries one posted or the burger one.
