Although this is far from the first pizza vending machine out there, we’re rather tickled by how seriously this video’s narrator seems to be taking the whole thing. But we have to admit it’s pretty impressive: rather than simply reheating a pre-made pie, this automated pizzeria uses fresh ingredients and assembles it before your eyes. At full tilt, the machine can crank one out every 90 seconds—and if that seems too long a wait, the device comes standard with a 37-inch flat-screen TV to keep you distracted. The company responsible for this triumph of culinary engineering is Pizzametry, run by a New York jeweller and the retired CEO of a battery manufacturer. Five machines are currently in production. Sadly, no word yet on any orders coming from this side of the border. [h/t Eater]
