While the perks of going into your local takeaway for a Meat Feast are obvious, wouldn’t life be so much easier with a pizza touchscreen in a hole in the wall? Well, if you share our dream of a better life — you’re in luck! Take a look at this incredible Pizza ATM.

Brought to you by the folks at French company Paline, the ‘Pizza ATM’ is a 24/7 fully automated pizza vending machine that preserves, cooks, and then dispenses fresh, delicious pizzas in just three minutes to its adoring crowds.

The Pizza ATMs have started to roll out, with Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio, the first to trial the invention at the back end of last year. After an overwhelmingly successful launch, the doughy dispenser will be rolled out across the US and Canada throughout 2017.

Fresh takeaway pizza from an ATM?

The ATMs work on the basis of the pizzas being premade and prebaked before having their toppings added. The pizzas are then put in their boxes and placed in the cold storage unit of the ATM, which can hold up to 70 12-inch pizzas at once.

From there, customers can select what kind of pizza they want using the machine’s touchscreen. The Pizza ATM then slides the option into the oven, cuts it into slices, places the pizza into the cardboard box and ejects the meal. Genius.

The Paline Pizza ATM will start rolling out more machines around the US and Canada this January, with each pizza costing around $9 (£7.50) to $10 (£8.30), with the ATM accepting credit or debit cards, as well as student cards.

We’re just begging Paline to make its way over Channel.
