Pizza vending machines? File this one under 'wildest fantasy'

I love pizza. I really do. I think "pizza" might have been my first word as a kid. No, I am not a Ninja Turtle. But goshdarnit, I think pizza is the greatest thing ever invented. Which is why I am slightly enamored with Wonderpizza, which is manufacturing a vending machine for pizzas. A combination of pizza and gadgets? That just makes me smile. A lot. With a Wonderpizza vending machine, you can order up a nine-inch tomato pie that will be hot and ready in just two minutes, and three different flavor options are available at any time.
However, as a New Yorker, I must add one tinge of skepticism: These pizzas had better freaking taste good. And knowing the sub-par quality of any pizza manufactured outside the Five Boroughs, they probably won't. And that is a tragic, tragic shame.
