robotic pizza 🍕

Today I read an article about the opening of a pizzeria in France completely managed by robots! The pizzeria has a fully automated process, which starts from ordering by smartphone, passing through the baking, cooking, cutting, up to packaging and even positioning in numbered cabinets for pick up by customers.
The oven can cook two pizzas at a time and the preparation of a pizza, excluding cooking, takes 45 seconds. The owners of the pizzeria say that the robots are also able to follow the evolution of the dough over time and take the necessary precautions for management as not even a real pizza chef would know how to do.

The prices of the pizzas are not excessively high and are in line with a “normal” pizzeria. Pizzas range from 7 to 13.60 euros.
I had read about a similar experiment in Silicon Valley which was then modified because it didn’t work well. Although we live in an era of very advanced and ever-changing technological progress, I was somewhat shocked by this article. What will this pizza taste like without the heart and passion of a real pizza chef?
Will my reviews of the future be used to set the memory of a robot?

I can’t add the description to the photo collage, so I’ll put it here: pizza capricciosa from a pizzeria in Ischia - pizza Margherita from a pizzeria in the Spanish Quarters in Naples - pizza black olives smoked provola and basil made by your LG PattyBlack :yum:

Ciao @PattyBlack ,

wow it is the first time I hear this but it is indeed a very shocking news :open_mouth: ! Well for me, being Neapolitan and a pizza fan, I would not give the task to the robots … I’m also an avid IT, working and passionate and looking for new technologies everywhere but how you can replace the magic of pizza making in the Neapolitan style :yum: .

Thank you for sharing this special news and your beautiful pizza’s :blush: .

Btw @PattyBlack for the photo captions you can insert them also when you already posted the photo, if you select the photo you will see a small toolbar appearing below it (as in my screen below), the Edit button will bring you to the Photo upload and edit screen where you can insert the caption in the edit field just below the photo.

You won’t see the caption inside your post / comment while still writing but it is there and it will be visible once published or if you edit it again.

ciao @LuigiZ thanks for the help, I was able to insert the text. I wrote the post from my mobile, but when I use the computer, everything is much easier…

I did not believe my eyes while reading the article and watching the video, and I thought: I knew that sooner or later it would happen, but why the pizza??? It’s one of the few culinary satisfactions that satisfies everyone all over the world! Let’s wait to see how the situation will evolve… but I don’t think that in Italy it can happen so soon. Thanks and have a nice evening. ciao!

This is interesting @PattyBlack

To be honest, I highly doubt that some bots, no matter how smart, can outdo a granny’s magic in the kitchen. (In my family it was my grandma who used to make everything at home)

However, I can’t help feeling excited about any kind of innovation involving AI, so I would definitely like to try this restaurant.

Thanks for sharing!

Dear @kroza thanks for your comment. I agree with you, we are living in a decade full of technological innovations and this is very exciting, but as in all things, there will be positive and negative consequences.

I, who learned from my grandmother to make pizza, including the preparation of the dough, just can’t accept this “innovation”, but it will certainly be normal food for future generations because this will be what they will know.

I will wait to read the reviews of this robotic pizzeria and your opinions if you have a chance to try it!

Ciao!
