Basil Street is changing the way people order one of the most popular kinds of foods with its pizza vending machines. The pizza vending machine company relies on robotics technology, a unique cooking process and fresh ingredients to share what it calls "unmatched brick-oven-style gourmet pizza." The machines are equipped to prepare three kinds of 10-inch, Italian-style thin-crust pizzas, including classics like four-cheese and pepperoni, plus a "Pizza of the Month" selection. As the pizza ingredients used are flash-frozen to preserve quality and flavor, they can be quickly cooked to order in about three minutes.
Already, Basil Street has gotten enthusiastic interest in its machines from corporate and major medical facilities, universities, military bases and sporting arenas across North America.
