Melbourne, August 14 – A vending machine in Westfield Chatswood dispenses hot salami or margherita pizzas in less than three minutes. Restaurateur George Pompei’s latest Italian-made import, called Pizza Gio, which costs 40,000 dollars, is a 2m by 1.78m brown box that cooks and dispenses 11-inch, 12 dollars worth full-sized pizzas, News.com.au reported.
Pompei said that the quality was the same as his Bondi restaurant Pompei’s, where the dough was made using stoneground flour, natural yeast, extra virgin olive oil and sea salt and rested for 48 hours, which is then rolled, topped with organic passata and Italian mozzarella, and par-baked in a stone oven before being blast-chilled.
The machine which takes cash or credit card and then bakes the ordered flavour, can hold 84 pizzas. When it runs low, it even sends a message to the restaurateur’s phone and he can head over to stock it up.
