We should check if these already exist in Japan and / or Korea. They are big on street vending.



That always existed at small scales but there is now an SV startup is doing that(in Japan too!)[2]

They exist for pizzas in Europe.


I had a “pizza” out of one of these things in the UK. Very, very bland. Sorta like a really cheap pitta bread with cheese on top.

I was pretty drunk so it didn’t matter, and it was fun to watch it mix flour and water to a dough, top it with sauce, cheese and pepperoni, then cook it in a matter of seconds.

But in the end there’s a reason we don’t usually go from flour-> eating in under 5 minutes!


If you want easy pizza, don't care too much about the taste and don't want to pay for delivery (or it's not available in your area), just buy a few frozen pizza. You can keep them for months in your freezer.

It's not great but still way better than vending machine pizza.


I tried a whole bunch from the grocery store, and focused on finding one with the best crust. I then:

* only buy 3 or 4 meat pizzas

* add some cayene and mustard seasoning

* add my own fresh veggies

This fixes the bland, and meat seems to freeze well, veggies not so much.

And it takes 5 or 10 for the oven to warm, so cutting up some onion, maybe a green pepper passes the time.

Anyhow, I find this method very palatable.

As a side note, any kind of meat, especily pork, is really improved with mustard powder when cooking.


My freezer and oven weren’t on the way back between the pub and my house :)

We always keep a couple in the freezer for especially lazy days, but this was a one-off drunken “ooh, shiny? Also melted cheese...” moment.


If the problem was that it’s bland wouldn’t simply seasoning better solve it?


We have ones selling live worms (fishing bait) in Lithuania
