The pizza vending machine

During the eighties and nineties there was a surge in the use of vending machines, these machines were providing more or less everything that a hungry worker could want and even provided microwaves to heat the food up in.

However, that soon faded with the healthy eating brigade claiming that food from these machines were no good for today’s diet. Nevertheless, it seems that you can never keep a good vending machine entrepreneur down and Claudio Torghele is just that man.

He has come up with a pizza vending machine, but this is no microwave or frozen food. The machine known as “Lets Pizza” uses only fresh ingredients and makes the food from scratch starting with flour for the base, tomato sauce and fresh toppings, to steaming hot pizza in just three minutes.
