    So it’s basically Costco and Domino’s pizza but better ingredients.

    Good, tell the bot to make a 5 stem cell-based meat pie and to lower the price. Pronto! ????

    A big benefit of this process is a consistent Product.

    All frozen pizzas are made the same way!! This is just a small scale.

    This isn’t how real pizza is made and a real pizza lover wouldn’t buy this garbage pizza.

    So a pizza robot from Seattle can make better pizza than a NYC pizza parlor? Yeah, that’s not a surprise. The true test would have been Regina’s in Boston consistently ranked better than anything in NYC/NJ. What is it with NY’ers and their 24/7 fixation on the false claims of pizza superiority? There are many outstanding restaurants in NYC. The food is great in general, but their pizza? Meh.

      Regina’s original pizza parlor in the North End was superior to just about anyone else at the time. Unfortunately, they decided to expand the franchise, lost the key to a great pie, and fell into the Papa Gino category of dull, tasteless product for the masses. The trademark name lost its appeal after that misguided decision!

    She grabs the cheese because she is on camera but you can see her eyeing the meat-lovers even when taking a bite the eyes go to the meat-lovers.

    The future is Robot Pizza it seems, also great to see the gorgeous Bridget Carey again.

    In a way I feel like this is hardly even news (no offense to CNET or Bridget Carey). So they made a better assembly line. This was pretty much bound to happen. Pizzas are about getting things consistent. (Ever felt gipped because you didn’t get enough cheese or sauce?) If they hadn’t called these appliances ‘robots’ would we even know about them? Certainly similar machines have been constructing our frozen pizzas for years. Burger King has had a broiler that runs on a chain conveyor belt that cooks burgers in 90 seconds since at least the 1980’s when I worked there as a teenager (yes I am that old). As far as I know, it was never called a robot. What these devices do is help make a more consistent product, which is what we all want. I hate it when my pizza is sliced really unevenly, don’t you? How about when it gets burned on the bottom? Want to know why changes like this are happening now and didn’t happen years ago? Well automation is certainly better now and technology is more widely accepted but that’s not the whole picture. The other piece, IMO, is the rise in the cost and scarcity of labor. Automation is filling in the gaps for the jobs that are harder to hire for today. It’s easier now for a restaurant owner to justify spending $5000 or $10000 or more to get a machine to do a job that was once done by a human.

    The pizza place she went to afterwards is one of these places that are not run by Italians. Most pizza places in New York are Italian anymore unfortunately

    Ever had a pizza from the freezer of a super market. Same thing but now it’s cooked.

    A few decades ago when computers started playing chess, top level players would handily beat them and insist that chess couldn’t merely be reduced to brute calculation, but rather that there was artistry, imagination and intuition involved in playing good moves, and thus they suggested that computers would never be as good as say the World Chess Champion or any other top player. Well that turned out to be way wrong. Anyhow, so I kind of feel that will happen with pizza. There will be old school pizza makers, especially like legit pizzaiolos in Italy, who will sort of scoff at this technology and say that a robot could never make fine pizza like a top chef could, that it takes artistry and imagination, all the same things that the chess players said, but in fact it looks like pizza can be “solved” with a bit of math, science and calculation. I mean, when it comes down to it, it’s just all time and numbers, from the temperature of the oven and how long it has to be in the oven, the amount of toppings, the amount of flour and water in the dough, etc. You just punch the numbers into a computer like here, and it spits out a good pizza. No imagination, intuition or artistry needed.

    Robots would help businesses be run by individuals who want they’re OWN means of production, WITHOUT forcing others to be employees for the proletariat, taking the employees from they’re own means of production.

    Robots are definitely the future of fast food. I see this kind of stuff happening at large chains at some point.

    I love the idea…..and the price! I love Costco Pizzas and they have a machine that put the sauce and I think that the cheese too. So, now you should make more pizza videos!!!!!!

    So they introduced the concept of a food processing plant, scaled it down, and brought it into the local pizza shop? The only difference I see is the pizza isn’t frozen and placed into a box. The real question is not a culinary question, but a business question. How much does it cost to rent or buy these automated machines? And will the cost make them price competitive with the traditional pizza shop. Where is the breakeven numbers when one of these franchises begin to see a profit? It seems you need high volume sales to make this work so you can spread those costs across each pie. Yeah, University campuses is an excellent place to put them because I remember my own uni days and how much pizza was devoured on campus. But in a small town?
