The thing that matter the most when making pizza is the quality of the ingredients doesn’t matter who or what makes it
Yes ingredients matter, but when making a pizza one mistake with the ratio of the dough even with the worlds best ingredients can equal disaster. It’s also so easy to over/undercook a pizza. Or load up too much cheese/ingredients. It’s takes practice and finesse to get these right on a traditional pizza oven.
I wonder how their ingredients compare to the other pizza places in that area of NJ.
So you don't mind if your pizza is undercooked, misshapen, toppings are missing, too much or too little sauce, and is not cut? Because you can have the best toppings in the world, but without a competent pizza maker your pizza is gonna be trash.
It’s not just that. Robot one would be the pizza which you can truly call a “perfect pizza” because it has a uniform and consistent amount of toppings, sauces and is cooked to perfection not a second less or more. But yeah it would only be a perfect pizza if the ingredients, toppings and sauces are fresh and of best quality.
Do you want to make pizzas 🍕🙌🤔😉😂🙂🍕🤯🎦🤖📢🥪🧋💖🌇👀🌈💌
Isn't... isn't this how frozen pizzas have been made for decades?
Frozen pizza is super cost cutting, preservatives, shrinkage.
Soo true!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yep albeit at a larger scale, this is made to order
Fantastic point! And they sucks!
I think you all missed his point. His point is that this isn't a new concept. It's actually pretty old. What you do with the pizza after it has been put together is another issue, whether that means freezing and packaging it or putting it straight into the oven fresh.
As a pizza fan, I like this idea, coz there will be consistency with the ingredients/making of the pizza. And more likely it will always taste the same.
That's the correct word of what we are expecting; "consistency"
Thats definitely the real key to all this. You know what to expect every time.
@@indycog like mcdonalds! great.
If anything, the robotic assisted restaurants will be more efficient in terms of resources used as they'll have consistent quality. It also frees up actual human employees to handle other things.
But who is going to spit in my food and give me attitude if I have any special requests for my order??
@@thaatsriight Nah man. I wanna taste the pizza, not someone's germs. Idk where they put their mouth. Da f**k?! Lol.
I have
I have Yeah the
Yes, such as unemployment 😂☠
Robots are definitely the future of fast food. I see this kind of stuff happening at large chains at some point.
*I'm still waiting to be able to rehydrate a pizza, like we were promised in "Back to the Future: part II"...*
Best CNET tech presenter.
Say goodbye to your job at pizzerias in the next 5 to 10 years...
Yep
Robots can't sneeze onto your food.
but they can leak poisonous hydraulic fluid onto it
As a former kitchen and tech person, that is kind of cool.
As a Consumer, will think that is nothing new, frozen food manufacturers been doing that kind of stuff for 50+ years.
Then there is anti-automation people, they are against it for taking people's jobs away, even tho it's been like that for 75+ years in other industries.
The New York pizza looks better, but a good pizza needs good ingredients. So probably the robot pizza had better sauce or cheese.
The cheese was good. The sauce and crust needed work.
That machine just adding sauce and toppings which is easily done by an employee and reduces cost of these automated machines and they can break at any time
Her energy is infectious. Bridget is the 🐐
You didn't fold it. You ain't no New Yorker! 😂😂
Had the same thought 😂
I guess it's cool that there, theoretically, should never be a burned pizza again, but I want that blistered bubbly charred goodness!
I want this in Las Vegas. What a gas😊
Robots have been making food for decades in factories, never seen anyone make a big deal about Delisio pizza.
4500 per month to lease... Why not pay an employee to do that. 🤔

Employee does not work 24.7 and needs benefits, breaks, etc.
It's more expensive than an employee and you still need an employee to feed it.
I would love to have my own pizza machine at the house
As a long islander this is another reason to hate NJ… it’s about going in saying hey to your buddy making the pizza behind the counter and him making it how you know you like it. For me it’s adding sesame seeds and a well done crust.
a bit of a stretch to say the pizza is made by a robot, when 50% of the work is done by humans, and it's also questionable whether you can call an automated topping dispenser a robot. But no matter how it's assembled, as long as you use all the same ingredients it's going to taste the same no matter how they end up on the pizza
When I was a kid, I thought we definitely would have had humanoid robots capable of making a pizza from start to finish by now. Robotics has severally lagged behind my expectations.
@@mattbrew11 that's accurate!
@@mattbrew11 And like your small 🧠. 🤣🤣🤣
Robots don't adapt as well as humans. Robots are good as long as there's sameness.
@@mattbrew11 Thats a simple task. Look at the assembly section of auto assembly plants. Automakers would have replaced humans decades ago like in the body shop. There's been weld robots there since the late 80s because they can do the same thing over and over. Not in assembly. They havent figured out how to install the carpet in the vehicle correctly. The engines are hoisted in by people. It's not as simple as you think.
Thats Unregulated tyrannical religious capitalism for ya lol. If CONservatives didn't treat science as evil sorcery for 2000 years imagine where we would be. Imagine if megacorps weren't allowed to buy truckloads of patents just to eliminate competition and actually used them. Imagine if Cons didn't create oil and a million other monopolies...
Unregulated capitalism is so catastrophic, we are actually regressing. Hall effect controllers from Dreamcast last 20- 30 years and now SONY and MS use analog sticks that only cost 50 cents less to make and only last 120 hours of use. The best toaster ever made was made in the 1940s. The best microwave was made in 1980...
SOON WE WILL BE LIVING IN CAVES AGAIN LOL!
I love the idea.....and the price! I love Costco Pizzas and they have a machine that put the sauce and I think that the cheese too. So, now you should make more pizza videos!!!!!!
PIZZA HQ. We are loving this concept. Central NJ / RUTGERS UNIVERSITY needs this now !!!
Robots don't ring in sick or go on vacation, they are the future of fast food businesses.
Machines are always going down bruh.
How much is the cost of the machines and how much could you save
No jobs, no money, no more pizza.
Of course food made by robots would be better. They don’t make mistakes or have inconsistencies. Imagine if fast food actually looked like the commercials. Robots could do that.
I mostly agree, but sometimes a person can be more flexible, e.g. using less dough when the dough looks like it will rise more than usual
@@deleteme924the dough will be the same every time because a robot made it, thus solving that problem.
what is this obsession y'all have with consistency? food is an experience. i want consistency when i'm in a hurry. thankfully i'm not always in a hurry.
The best part about this is, the robot will make my pizza without getting my order wrong.
Factories have been making our processed food for a long time .... Including pizza. Now these machines are affordable enough to operate in a small pizza restaurant.... Moores law.
Robot aka machine ..... Both provide automation.
Affordable mmmmk
awesome video. can’t wait to eat a pizza made by Picnic Works!
Well that explains why they want to outlaw traditional ovens. Meet your replacements middle class and you’ll eat it how it makes it.
That’s the same oven as dominos. I saw it yesterday.
Ya, conveyor belt style pizza ovens have been around for a long time.
its basical a frozen pizza factory but direct to consumer
$4500 to lease the machine each month seems excessive
I'm wondering if they clean the pizza slicers between use.
Do they clean the slicers between pizzas where you buy pie?
Is it the quality of ingredients used that made the robot made pizzas better? Or the consistency of the dough press to form the round shape, which is more uniform than most average pizza makers can achieve?
Slow fermented dough makes a good pizza.
All frozen pizzas are made the same way!! This is just a small scale.
loved this report on robotic pizza!
I can only imagine the electric bill the owner of Robot pizza 🍕 has to pay.
Cheaper than paying for extra employees, I guess.
Why is the Robot better? Consistency!
Yup robots don't get bored.
It's Always Sunny. "Mac Makes a Robot Pizza!"
Machine level precision and consistency with intense ingredients quality is gonna be hard to beat in the future not to mention the guilt free feeling knowing someone doesn't have to bother making my food is nice too
Yeah better....
Of course cant beat artisan etc. But against regular current fastbfood better
@eddyr1041 agreed if it's made by someone who loves there craft that's different than making the high school kid at domino's make corporate pies all day
Anyone can make a pizza. It just requires practice like any other job on the planet. What matters is ingredients.
And oven!
this is the future of all fast food. people who want a high wage for a job that is only meant for a starting job. to get your foot in the door to be able to get a better job sometime in your life. well guess what soon in new york and other states it will be going from $15 or dollars to exactly $0.
Where can I apply
A big benefit of this process is a consistent Product.
A few decades ago when computers started playing chess, top level players would handily beat them and insist that chess couldn't merely be reduced to brute calculation, but rather that there was artistry, imagination and intuition involved in playing good moves, and thus they suggested that computers would never be as good as say the World Chess Champion or any other top player. Well that turned out to be way wrong. Anyhow, so I kind of feel that will happen with pizza. There will be old school pizza makers, especially like legit pizzaiolos in Italy, who will sort of scoff at this technology and say that a robot could never make fine pizza like a top chef could, that it takes artistry and imagination, all the same things that the chess players said, but in fact it looks like pizza can be "solved" with a bit of math, science and calculation. I mean, when it comes down to it, it's just all time and numbers, from the temperature of the oven and how long it has to be in the oven, the amount of toppings, the amount of flour and water in the dough, etc. You just punch the numbers into a computer like here, and it spits out a good pizza. No imagination, intuition or artistry needed.
Artistry itself can be automated -- just look at Dall-e 2. This pizza "robot" is just following a few basic steps on putting sauce on a round object, and letting a certain amount of toppings fall evenly across the surface... but with deep learning neural net algorithms, it's easier to imagine a multi-purpose "chef" robot that can not only follow recipes, but mash-up recipes to create new types of food we haven't thought of before -- all based on what it's learned about our preferences.
Figures they would ruin how pizza is made.
Our kids school get this pizza and one of the trampoline park, Skyzone, uses them for parties.
as others have noted its not just about automating the process its about the ingredients. so yeah a robot assembled pizza could taste better because human beings made a great sauce and picked fresh vegetables and used fresh dough.
The robot pizza is better because it’s consistent!
So it's basically Costco and Domino's pizza but better ingredients.
Technically not robots though... This ist just industry level tech applied to pizza making. Frozen pizza factories have done this for ages.
Crime to "lease" robots to a small business at $5000 a month... forever.
"The Future of Pizza is...Robots" No. Just... no. This might be the future of Domino's, but it ends there.
And shame on you for even suggesting such a stupid title.
So they introduced the concept of a food processing plant, scaled it down, and brought it into the local pizza shop? The only difference I see is the pizza isn't frozen and placed into a box. The real question is not a culinary question, but a business question. How much does it cost to rent or buy these automated machines? And will the cost make them price competitive with the traditional pizza shop. Where is the breakeven numbers when one of these franchises begin to see a profit? It seems you need high volume sales to make this work so you can spread those costs across each pie. Yeah, University campuses is an excellent place to put them because I remember my own uni days and how much pizza was devoured on campus. But in a small town?
Well they started to elude to it, they said "this set-up can cost up to 4,500 a month" which IMO doesn't seem like a lot for something that can pump out up to 300 pizza's an hour. It would not be good for something in a small town. but if it is something that has a decent amount of business yes. the cost of 4,500 a month is 54000 a year. I'd equate that to about 2.5 to 3 employees. If your pizza place has 4 ppl making pizza's it sounds worth it, if you have less then probably not.
It will be a great Future where Robots do all the Work
The electricity bill must be through the roof.
Bridget, can you do a review of Epson EcoTank 3850 printer? 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Even bad pizza is good pizza. That's what's so great about...pizza...
Machines made by Germans, food by Italians...and scene...
Let’s be honest here. It’s the same ingredients, same toppings. Taste-wise, no one’s gonna notice the difference. And it’s not like there’s an extra metal taste 😂
The oven looks the same as the one I used 30 years ago.
There is nothing new about a conveyor oven. Pizza shops have been using them as long as I can remember.
Robots would help businesses be run by individuals who want they’re OWN means of production, WITHOUT forcing others to be employees for the proletariat, taking the employees from they’re own means of production.
The pizza place she went to afterwards is one of these places that are not run by Italians. Most pizza places in New York are Italian anymore unfortunately
i guess they are working on a robot to replace the guy loading the dough
yes!
Who cleans the machines, insides daily or weekly?? Who fixes the machines and repairs them.? Who installs them? Who makes the machines and delivers them, and the spares?
They use the same type of oven little caesers has used for decades except much smaller than little caesers
The future is Robot Pizza it seems, also great to see the gorgeous Bridget Carey again.
Ever had a pizza from the freezer of a super market. Same thing but now it’s cooked.
Governor Murphy should make this illegal.
Where's the automated system to create & prepare the dough every morning at 3am?
Shall i tell you why you preferred the Picnic Pizza than the real type? Because the Robot Pizza from Picnic had its ingredients precise and exact consistency from dough to sauce, but and i mean a very big BUT, the real type made by humans hands were a mixture of human nature that has been crafted for many years and ingredients can be out of balance, but in the end it is a pie and pie that tastes nice it’s comfort food. Machine can improve the taste and quality of the pie but not the comforting feeling from a human made pizza, in a way, maybe i’m overthinking this and you to cos of the experience, but a pie is a pie it always varies, buon appetito Bridget.
Soon well have robot jurnalist talking to us all this .. wonderful changes!!
I prefer my pizza toppings to put on by hand. Lol
In a way I feel like this is hardly even news (no offense to CNET or Bridget Carey). So they made a better assembly line. This was pretty much bound to happen. Pizzas are about getting things consistent. (Ever felt gipped because you didn't get enough cheese or sauce?) If they hadn't called these appliances 'robots' would we even know about them? Certainly similar machines have been constructing our frozen pizzas for years. Burger King has had a broiler that runs on a chain conveyor belt that cooks burgers in 90 seconds since at least the 1980's when I worked there as a teenager (yes I am that old). As far as I know, it was never called a robot. What these devices do is help make a more consistent product, which is what we all want. I hate it when my pizza is sliced really unevenly, don't you? How about when it gets burned on the bottom? Want to know why changes like this are happening now and didn't happen years ago? Well automation is certainly better now and technology is more widely accepted but that's not the whole picture. The other piece, IMO, is the rise in the cost and scarcity of labor. Automation is filling in the gaps for the jobs that are harder to hire for today. It's easier now for a restaurant owner to justify spending $5000 or $10000 or more to get a machine to do a job that was once done by a human.
Bridget Carey says she isn’t a robot but has anyone seen her age in the last 15 years? No… she looks identical to when she started at CNET.
Yes maybe I'll get the extra cheese when asked for...then get it fresh & maybe not thrown around in the box by the delivery drivers.
Self-driving trucks, robots all over the food service industry, robots in construction. I just hope that the robots will have the cash to buy things also and keep the economy afloat.
More pizza 🍕 is always good 👍🏽
Not if you want a long healthy life.
good to snap from a stroke
I grew up in Queens I grew up with a pizzeria on every corner I now live in Florida and I try to avoid franchise pizza I have fond memories of me and, my friends cutting school eating pizzas, and playing video games
they will just make everything more complicated so machines pizzas will always be second class pizzas
Europians hearing the work pie and being in intense pain
this is so cool!

Great video 👍
*How long until they hire a robot drummer to deliver it to your door?*
Thyley tried that... the robot got robbed😅😅😅🤣
wow ten bucks. that's old school prices. this is the cosco sytem
Why would pay $4000 a month for machine to put sausage, tomato ,sauce and cheese on the pizza that's crazy.

they don't have a lot of ingredients usually pizza chain average 25 diff. ingredients, they are far to replace regular underpaid labor able to grab and spread multiple type of ingredients quickly and with precision
There’s a place that the whole process is done by a machine even the packaging
Automate. Everything.
I mean the robot just put the toppings, it's more on the ingredients why the pizza hq one tasted better.
A good pizza starts with a good crust. Its all important from the the dough to the baking.
@@danharold3087 correct, I was only directing what I said towards the product featured which was the toppings applicator and the ingredients used for it.
Real pizza doesn't come out of a convection oven.
It does though.
😁❤...
Good pizza oncebin a while.... expensive...
These kinds of pizza is loke dominos etc but a little better, not getnorder wrong......
Just likevhowbwe munch fast food...😅
It Will NEVER Works in Italy, May Be for Americana Turists yes...
The machine just does the simple assembly work and cooking, dough is hand-made higher quality ingredients what's not to like.
I mean, If you can control the quality of the output, why not? I don't think this puts it on the level of like frozen pizza or anything. I love the idea and if I had the money to do so, I would love to open a pizza joint with this system myself.
Wonder if they can do a Sicilian type as well...
0:35 For Now.
Call me when it's really robotic. This is definitely not!
