It makes perfect sense that pizza would become available in a vending machine in Italy. In an impressive display of engineering, the machine starts with your typical pizza ingredients and uses them to prepare a hot pizza in only three minutes! The vending machine also features a little window that allows customers to see the entire process of the pizza being made – a great idea to both entertain and help keep customers from getting bored while waiting for their pie.
