Three minute pizza from a machine


An authentic pizza in three minutes from a vending machine gets a heavy topping of scorn from Italy's chefs.

Claudio Torghele, who has invented the "Let's Pizza" machine, claims that it can make a pizza by beating flour and water into a dough, stretching the dough into the classic round shape and then adding tomato sauce and toppings to choice - cheese and tomato, vegetables, ham or bacon - before baking it in an infrared oven and finally sliding the finished product into the hands of the customer, all for a modest €3.50 (£3.25) ($4.80).

That's half the price of eating one in the average Italian pizzeria.
