The idea of a pizza vending machine doesn’t sound half bad, but setting up one in Italy, where they practically
invented pizza? Now that’s a recipe for disaster.

One of Rome’s first automatic pizza dispensers, “Mr. Go Pizza,” was recently installed in Piazza Bologna. In three minutes, it cooks four different types of pizza costing from about $5.40 to $7.20 (4.50 to 6 Euros). After the machine kneads the dough and adds toppings, customers can watch their pie cook behind a small glass window.
Locals are not impressed, to say the least. On Thursday, Reuters reported that customer reviews ranged from “acceptable if you’re in a hurry” to outright horror.

Massimo Bucolo bravely dared to go where nobody else had gone before in order to take a slice of Italyâs competitive pizza market: a 24-hour vending machine that dishes out freshly baked pizza in three minutes.
Located in a booth on Via Catania, close to Piazza Bologna in Rome, Mr Go Pizza offers up four varieties, including the classic margherita invented in Naples in 1889, each costing between â¬4.50 and â¬6. Customers can watch through a small glass window as the vending machine kneads and tops the dough.
It started operating on 6 April and has since sold about 900 pizzas, which are delivered in a box and with cutlery.
