US: Pizza vending machines rolled out at c-stores

Pizza lovers can now get freshly-baked Margherita, Pepperoni, or 4 Cheese pizzas 24 hours, 7 days a week from pizza vending machines at two Mobil-branded convenience stores in Lakeland and Orlando, Florida, reports CSP Daily News.

The vending machines, which accept cash, cards, or coins for the $6-pizza, have a built-in refrigerator and an oven that bakes the selected pizza in near-600 degrees for about two minutes. The nine-inch pizza comes out hot, crispy, and unsliced.

They will soon be available in other locations as its owner Pizza Touch plans to roll out more pizza vending machines in hospitals, universities, and other areas accessible to on-the-go customers.

More flavours such as pepperoni pizza and a veggie pizza are also planned to be added to its menu, reports wesh.com.

Pizza Touch is a division of Grupo Rocket, a holding company present in Italy, Portugal, Brazil, Japan, Mozambique, and Australia.
