Pizza vending machine

A Pizza vending machine is a highly specialised Vending machine, which freshly bakes frozen pizzas in 2–5 minutes and dispenses them. The technology combines freezing, oven and packaging in one unit.

Function and area of use

Pizza vending machines work via a sophisticated multi-chamber system: frozen pizzas are stored in the lower section at -18 °C to -5 °C. After selection and payment, the chosen pizza is automatically transported to a baking chamber, where it is baked at 250–350 °C in 2–5 minutes. It is then dispensed in a cardboard box, ready to eat immediately.

Pizza vending machines are revolutionising catering at locations with high footfall but no staff: petrol stations, railway stations, universities, business parks, theme parks and town centres. They offer fresh pizza 24/7 without a chef, waiter or scullery. The pizzas usually come from regional bakeries or suppliers and offer restaurant quality.

Modern models hold 48–96 pizzas of different varieties (Margherita, salami, vegetarian, special). The customer chooses a pizza on the touchscreen, pays cashless and receives an oven-fresh pizza after a few minutes. Telemetry systems monitor temperature, stock level and technical parameters.
