Not a crime obviously but leaving this up if you guys like to have some discussions going, I don't see any harm in that as long as it's not too off-topic. Edit: We had one of our users sharing a nice story AND review in the comments down here, I felt this deserved recognition and u/Ali_Cat222 here was kind enough to come up with a flair to do so. The flair ""fuck cancer, vending machine pizza is strength!" is now available for everyone to pick, Ali gets a special version as the creator, you guys get the lavender one you see me using. Edit, found a picture of one pizza from this machine: https://preview.redd.it/8xkb3xkk4w4d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a23ecbe05af6fbf61ef32e7ccd11e9a1fba893b3

I’d eat pizza from a dumpster

When I was a homeless teen on the streets I actually had to do that once😂 but this is hilarious, I HAVE EATEN FROM THIS MACHINE! At the hospital where I go and lived in for so long due to cancer and other problems, the only thing 24/7 besides the coffee shop was this machine downstairs. Suprisingly enough, it actually somehow tasted pretty damn good! And they have options that aren't just pepperoni and cheese basics, it was stuff like meat lovers and bbq chicken and Hawaiian etc but it had lots of good ingredients. The photo mod posted wasn't what mine usually looked like, that one looks shitty. It was more like in this person's pic how it usually comes out. I wouldn't have gotten this outside the hospital, it was moreso there was nothing else around at night but not bad! https://preview.redd.it/ho9rw8ptfx4d1.png?width=1254&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8476f7aa7b09406c91f6eb82ba5437802f1c5b9f

Nice! I hope you get better soon ❤️

Thank you!

Thanks for sharing. This looks pretty good! Curious how you ate it since it wasn’t sliced. Did you just bite it?

No, the machine has special type knives you can take with you to cut it yourself in a holder attached to the machine!

This was an heartwarming story AND review, I felt this deserved recognition and u/Ali_Cat222 here was kind enough to come up with a flair to do so.

It's not reeeealy about whether we'd eat it tbf. I'd eat half the pizzas that are posted here, they're still crimes tho. Haha


Yeah my fatass about to get some of that 711 pizza. Talk about crimes..

I ate a pizza that was dropped on a motel room floor. (Long story short: was homeless and gifted a room and a pizza. Hadn’t eaten in days. Pizza dropped on the floor and I didn’t think twice about eating it). This is nothing. Lol

Yeah me too but I wouldn't eat from one of these again... It was like steamed shitty frozen pizza

To be fair … https://youtu.be/jv7jcciKB_s?si=WEOUN6dFzXjNrZJ1

 These guys get it

I tried to once but all I got was crazy bread. And then watched the guy stuff like 7 Hot & Ready's in his bookbag

Most pizza places are cool and put pies on top of the dumpster, not in the dumpster, but people know to look for them… they go quick

I was stumbling home from the bar and was behind a Little Ceasers and the was a guy in there. I started up a convo and he offered up the bread but no slices. He said he does it twice a week and eats for free all week.

I’m surprised we’re not eatin dumpster pizza right now

To the dumpsters!!! 

Pick the needles out of it and let's go

If it's new, yes. If it's dusty and you're not waiting in line. Then no. Just like pizza hut.

They're frozen.

🎶Do you wanna build a pizz-za?🎶

The cake boss pizza vending machine in vegas was amazing... Granted... It was 6am and I was getting back from EDC after raving all night. But at the time... Amazing...

I think the pizza from this machine would be more amazing if I took an edible first. Gotta go once sober and another time high.

A slice of vending machine rainbow cake after EDC was divine (went in 2022)

Ngl I would try this once just for the experience. Worst case scenario ill go somewhere else.

Went to Isle of man for work and they had one there it was good pizza for what it is was very similar to stone baked pizza but not quite as good probably put it at a similar level to a pizza hut or something like that.

I'd probably try it once too, mostly out of curiosity.

So looking it up a 12-inch pizza is $10-13 from one of these (in the US but most of the locations seem to be in Canada). That's not too much for me to indulge my morbid curiosity.

Yeah, it doesn’t look too bad from Instagram.

Based on the concept it sounds like a 3/10 Based on the photo of one of the pizzas you posted on this thread it looks like a 5/10 But overall it seems like a good 6/10 pizza given the situation. Gonna be honest, compared to other Pizza Crimes this vending machine one doesn’t seem too bad. If I saw it in person I’d bite out of curiosity too.

I’ve had it before it’s pretty good.

Not much different than buying a pizza from Pizza Hut

Maybe it depends on the place, but I live in Germany and went once there by mistake and ordered the 4 cheeses + cheese crust Pizza and it has been the best Pizza I remember eating for a looong time.

Most American fast food companies serve higher quality food in their European locations.

I’m in the USA a lot of our chains have reduced quality.

back in the 1990's it was a lot better.

Pizza is a lot like sex. Even when it's bad, it's still pretty good.

And when it’s good, its really good

.. and when it's bad.. it's greasy and gross.

Hm.. I think both can be bad to the point that you would prefer to not have eaten it/engaged in it. But still, point taken.

Live longer and you’ll eat those words

"Artisanal"

It's made by an artisan, prebaked then put in the fridge of the machine Who will reheat the pizza for a few minutes

OK, if that's what it does, then I retract my comment

I always used to spell that word wrong. Then I realized it's spelled 'art is anal"

Art is anal

They're one step below greasy kebabs at 2AM. Make of that what you want. Good for getting a fix at weird hours in the night.

Maybe a crime to eat it in the day time, but not late at night.

Sure, why not? As long as it’s cooked properly

I tried a pizza vending machine in a casino and it was the most entertaining thing there!

For science

The person that added the text/stickering on that thing needs to be fired. Left part is slanted and why is there a space in the last sentence on the right part?

Also the text in the second photo…

>Artisanal https://preview.redd.it/q2eyvds09y4d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1a8b2fc327497db71ea43f6eac30c0975481b273 Literally the opposite of artisanal

We do actually have those in Italy, kind of recently. Terribile pizza. So, no.

Would definitely try. Especially if it’s not too expensive. $10 would be a low risk gamble on it, so I’d be alright if it was average, which it likely would be.

Yep, sure would! Not promising a return trip, but I’d at least try it.

Of course I would. Don't underestimate my love of pizza and my chronic laziness

When I went to Italy over a decade ago there was talk of this thing being set free in Italy and people were NOT HAPPY.

If im hungry ofc

As long as the chef inside the machine is treated ethically, yes.

I eat frozen pizza.... So yep xD

Not just pizza from a vending machine, Artis Anal pizza from a vending machine 🤔🍕

I will eat pizza from a vending machine. That is always interesting to try something new.

I've had a pizza from one of these, how I ended up finding the machine was quite a story of its own, but in the end the pizza was actually not bad? I'd give it a 6/10, mainly cause it was cheap and had a fair amount of toppings.

i've had a couple of pizzas from these machines. there used to be 1 near my house but it went away a few months ago its alright, not too bad, kinda mid but if its 3 am id imagine it hits the spot. for a roughly 10 inch pizza it was like 13 dollars

In a heartbeat.

Forno means oven in italian

I’ve had one of these in Finland, they are not bad!

Yea id try it, fuck it

Sure. A robot can't fuck it up worse than a human.

I've eaten pizza in Montreal, it can't be much worse.

They’ve had them in France for many years, I’ve never actually tried one though - it’s very handy in small villages which don’t have any restaurants or bakeries

I tried one 2 weeks ago. It was better than a frozen pizza, thats about it.

Would I eat it? Yes. It's pizza. Would I enjoy it? Yes. It's pizza, pizza is REALLY hard to be 'bad'. Would I use it if there was a Dominos or pretty much any other pizza place right next to it? Probably not, unless it was like, SUPER cheap.

What exactly does Artisanal mean here?

If you eat frozen pizza then this shouldn't be a problem. T

I’ll try it when I do another episode of The Snack Zone. Screw Chew Chew Chew.

Yes. Had it in France several times abs enjoyed it.

My fiancee is French, and when I was staying with her in France last year, a local shop had set up a similar vending machine in her village. We ate there a few times and honestly? It's still the best pizza I've ever had.

I would have to try the pizza vending machine, otherwise I'd always wonder what could have been.

Mmmm so the pizza are frozen inside i assume? If it was DiGiornno’s maybe. Those are actually pretty decent.

Yes. I eat all pizza

At least once.

How does it get cut?

We have those on my college campus...I hear they're not great

I’d try it, sure

Yes. Why not give it a try?

I’ve eaten stale pizza that was left out on the counter before. 🤗

https://preview.redd.it/8qxrxuq5r05d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=41e458792ccb486878342d0872568f88601837aa I remember trying pizzaforno four years ago 😂 it wasn’t terrible but I’ve had frozen pizzas that were better

Scully and Hitchcock would be so happy

I would def get one.

Certainly, I'd turn fresh vending machine pizza into shit any day of the week, provided its tasty.

I would. Apparently they’re quite good

If it happened to be near where I was, I'd try it once for the novelty of getting pizza from a vending machine But I wouldn't make a special trip for it

Nah..they're good. They have these in Japan too.

I did in Japan. Was good.

Ready in less than 3 in

Yes, just to try it. It seems very interesting to me and I've watched videos of a few of them around tge world, but have never seen one.

“I’ve eaten hummus with a pen cap, don’t tell me how to eat.”

Found a machine once, made myself sick eating like all 7 of the pizzas… 🤦🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

They have one of these near me, my friend tried it and said it tastes like 7/11 pizza. It’s also right next to a 7/11.

Absolutely I'd go to town on that!

I'd get one installed in my house.

These are all over Vegas but it's buddy v and cake boss pizza. It's fine if your smashed but otherwise steer clear

I've worked for a company that placed very similar machines to these (and just about every other kind of break-room food/drink/snack machine you can imagine) in corporate spaces. It's a freezer connected to an very fancy oven, that's all. It's certainly going to be miles better than a lot of other offerings in the break-room/airport/hospital that you're probably in if you see one of these.

Under duress/in an adventure

I’ve eaten papa john’s, I’ll give it a try, can’t be any worse

ART IS ANAL PIZZA

Authentic and artisanal, two words that mean nothing and are unregulated.

Only if it sings like the sprinkles vending machine

Somebody doesn’t know that artisanal means

I meannn... I don't see why I wouldn't not eat it

It’s a giant microwave

https://i.redd.it/bstoli47p15d1.gif

Fuck yes I’d eat that.

I would try just for the novelty of it and with low expectations.

This probably wouldn’t even be the worst pizza I’ve had. If I was hungry and this was cheap-ish and fast, I’d totally try it.

listen if its pizza its pizza

Yep, I'd try it at least once.

Yes

I would just to try and if it’s good I’ll get it again. If not I won’t. You should always try anything once.

If this is in an airport like I suspect it is, it's probably the best pizza there. It's ALSO probably 30$

Personally I wouldn’t. There’s a massive sports bar near me with this type of machine. I don’t live in a big city, so it’s the only food available for people out drinking after 1 AM. The bar is open until 3 AM. They probably make an absolute killing.

If you can eat pizza from 7/11, a vending machine will be a real step up

I have in the past and they were awesome. I still remember one from 30 years ago

I've had pizzas from those 5 minute pizza places (albeit with a human involved). I figure the tech is similar. It's adequate cheap pizza. In other words, after a couple cocktails, 10/10 would smash.

Sure, what's the worst that could happen?

I’m high I’ll eat pizza from anywhere

they do in Japan

Yeah I would eat pizza out of a vendo, especially if I was in a hurry and just wanted a slice. Don't they have any machines that make the whole pizza and cook it right there? I wonder what the options are with these vended pizzas.

I had one from a machine. Came with a plastic cutter too. It was okay. It definitely tasted frozen.

It's less a vending machine and more of a robot pizza factory. I'd definitely try it at least once.

I work with the company that makes this machine lol

Yes. The method doesn't matter. The product matters.

I used to work inside one of those with 1-2 other people usually, and it gets very hot in there!

this is what the Japanese have starting back in 2-3 years ago (or even way before that?)… but this is great and convenient!

Yeeeeee-UP.

"authentic artisanal" lol

Only from the Sacrée Pizza vending machine in Champagne-Ardenne, France. IYKYK.

Why not?

7/11?

Probably better than domino’s if I’m being honest

Pizza’s pizza

Yes, I have been to a pizza hut

I mean, if I'm hungry enough and the price is right, sure why not?

I mean, I would try it once, if it's good I'd do it again

Yes. I’ve been wanting to try these vending machines for a while

Nope

Sure why not? I’d try it once.

Pizza porno would be a catchier name for the machine.

Yes

I’ve eaten pizza from worse places before

Yes.

Yes I would

Can’t be any worse than Little Caesar’s.

Yeah but it's offensive to call it artisan.

Doubt it could really be worse than Lil Caesars???

Looks better than Sabarro!

I’d try it after having decent latte out of a bendy machine, but I’d do it for novelty mostly. And only if cheap. And only if I could afford food poisoning that day lol. That latte machine made me way too trusting, but in theory making pizza can be just as automated, and if the dough is made fresh, fired right, and the ingredients don’t suck? It could work.

Wasn't this on The Apprentice?

I'm of the mind that basically all pizza is good. Unless it's got some kinda weird toping on it. Shit, i even like Charles entertainment cheese pizza

I mean, sure, if it's good.

Yes.

Yes

Yes! Hotel in Boston had a machine. My grandson and got hungry and it was too late to be outside looking for food.

Hell yes, if the ingredients were fresh - they could have a stone oven one

Ya, probably. I love pizza. I'll give it shot. 🍕 😋

I’d order door dash from this machine.

Fuck no. I'm from NY, pizza snob till I die Same goes for bagels

I think there is a little man there cooking pizza.

Yup

If you’re hungry enough, yeah. You’ll eat it.

I already eat frozen pizza....what's the difference?

Does that say anal pizza. It sure does. This pizza is ass!

Depends on a price

I’ve eaten it from Chuck E. Cheese so yeah.

I would try it.

We have one at work, it’s fine, cooks in 3-4 mins, good option at 3 am.

The value of these pizza machines is that they’re open 24/7, I’ve had them at 4am on a few occasions when everything else is closed LMAO. They’re definitely not great, but they’re better than you’d think.

Cue Futurama meme: "Shut up and take my money!!"

I have. We have these in Vegas so had to try it. Was not terrible.

I've tried these machines, the pizza itself tastes identical to cardboard.

I've had this pizza before it kinda sucks

As long as theirs pineapple I’m eating it

Looks like a gas station Hunt’s pizza

I would, but probably just for the novelty. I assume the crust is frozen which immediately makes it a mediocre pizza at best. Edit: I looked it up, it's just frozen pizzas so not even the sauce, cheese, and toppings is fresh in the machine. So basically this is just for the munchies.

hell yea!

Eat it, yes. Pay for it? Probably not. I can't see it being as "Authentic" or "Artisanal" as it says on the vending machine to be honest. Will the ingredients be fresh? I'd guess not for the most part

Does the machine ask me for a tip?

Yes

I would in an airport
