Can you imagine a machine, on the streets of Valencia, where you can buy a paella made in a few minutes and at a cheap price? That is what has happened in Rome, where the latest invention of the capital city has raised a crisis against the most typical product of Italian gastronomy: pizza.
Revered throughout the world but unique to Italy, pizza is possibly the most consumed food within and outside the transalpine borders each year. An icon of Italian culture but more of Rome, whose city welcomes thousands of visitors every day impatient to try one of its thin-crust pizzas.
For tourists, and not so tourists, a pizza vending machine has been installed. An invention, the work of the company, which has raised a schism on the banks of the Tiber River to the point of being considered a sacrilege against gastronomy.
Pizza experts consider that the dough should ferment for about 14 hours.
“They have attacked us like crazy, saying that it was against the market and the art of pizza,” the owner of the vending machine. A tool capable of making and serving food in just three minutes (some experts say that the dough must ferment for 14 hours) and from 4.50 euros in such popular flavors as margarita, four cheeses, pepperoni or bacon.
Once ready, you can see the process of how the pizza is made in the oven through a glass, the product comes out in a hot cardboard box to taste. “Some have understood the message and the service we want to give,” remarks the owner of Mr. Go, who is already considered by some Romans as one of the greatest traitors of the Roman Empire.
