I had no idea these things existed until I just watched How it’s made. Now I am obsessed. I couldn’t find anything in a thread search here.
Now I am dying of curiosity, has anybody used one? Was the pizza any good. From what I can see in a quick web search they seem to be a European thing, but has anybody ever seen one in the U.S. I have had many really bad pizza’s on drinking nights, it can’t be as bad as some of the frozen ones, right? I mean a 20 second yeast rise is pretty close to pointless, and Infrared cooking has a well proven tradition after having been used on a couple sandwiches in the 60’s then forgotten about. It can’t miss.
Never heard of it and so haven’t tried it but…that’s a pretty cool idea. I’d love to give it a try and see what it’s like. If they put a machine like that in my office building there would probably be a line to use it every day.

I Must know.
Is there one here who has seen one?
Is there no one here who can buy one?
Is there no one here who can sample the freaking awesomeness of a 180 second pizza?
I will paypal the cost of the pie!
I Must know.
YouTube has vids of this machine in action. I guess vending machines have come along way from the days when you couldn’t even count on a cup falling into place before the beverage started pouring.
How exactly can this thing work? Pizzas take longer to cook than the average person will wait a vending machine. I would think that super fast pizza ovens would have made it to other pizza places first.
I’d so frequent this machine if it produced anything near-edible. The usual wait-time for microwaves at my job is over 20 minutes, with over 3 minutes’ use the norm (not sure why, but everyone brings in frozen casseroles, pot pies, or other 10-minute-microwave items). Can’t be worse than the Hot Pockets or cheese sticks which form the bulk of my current diet, and the videos of Let’s Pizza make the product look like they use some good cheese…
If you go to a Neapolitan pizza place with a properly fired wood oven, the pizza will be done in 60-90 seconds. Those ovens achieve something in the neighborhood of 1000F (plus or minus 200 degrees). I assume this cooking method must also get temps up in that neighborhood.
