Raffaele Esposito, the 19th century Neapolitan credited with inventing Italy’s most famous type of pizza, may be turning in his grave: Rome has a new vending machine which slides out freshly cooked pizzas in just three minutes.
Buyers using the flaming red "Mr. Go Pizza" machine can choose from four different kinds of pizzas costing from 4.50 to 6 euros ($5.2-7.2). The machine kneads and tops the dough and customers can watch the pizza cook behind a small glass window.

I eat those! I have for 50 years.
White bread. Catsup. Cheddar cheese. Oregano and Chili Powder. Broil until cheese melts.

I’m not saying they’re inedible, but I never saw the appeal......
nor do I.

“When you’re hungry as a horse...” Why not eat one?
To cook a pizza in 3 minutes the oven would have to be 800-900 degrees. Seems like that elevates the potential for an industrial vending accident.
I was singing that song yesterday as I opened a can of beefaroni.
I want one to put in my kitchen.
What’s that smell? Oh, it’s Rusty.
I don't know if they enforce the recipe and flavor, so you can't sell the hard, salty cheese that's good on pasta at all, or if they just protect the name.
