The world’s first pizza vending machine has landed in Korea.
The “Let’s Pizza,” made in Italy, was launched at Seoul Food 2015, Tuesday, at Kintex in Ilsan, Gyeonggi Province.
The four-day food industry exhibition, established in 1983, is the third largest in Asia. Under the theme “Wave on the Table,” about 1,480 exhibitors from 44 countries are taking part.
The vending machine creates the pizza by kneading the dough, mixing the ingredients and selecting the toppings ― margherita, pepperoni, ham or bacon. The pizza takes about three minutes to bake.
“All the ingredients used are from Italy, and we use 100 percent real cheese,” Seo Soo-jin, 28, CEO of distributor P & Food System, told The Korea Times. “It’s good quality and the prices are reasonable, too.”
Prices are expected to be between 6,200 (US$5.70) and 6,800 won (US$6.25) for a whole pizza. Cash, credit and check cards can be used in the machine.
The company said maintenance was designed to be quick and easy, with daily cleaning taking about 10 minutes and a weekly cleaning requiring 45 minutes.
The Let’s Pizza machine has enough flour and tomato for 100 pizzas before it requires filling.
“Our product has drawn a massive interest among those visiting Seoul Food because the pizzas taste great,” Seo said.
The “Let’s Pizza” machine can be placed at public places including underground stations, universities, theme parks, stadiums, theaters and swimming pools.

Interesting. But not the first. I know that Tombstone pizza had a pizza vending machine and I’m pretty sure there have been several others.

yes..I like the basic concepts behind Second Life but it seems incredibly outdated and when I played it was intensely non-intuitive / user friendly to an extent that made EVE look like a game for toddlers. thanks from
