First-ever on-street pizza vending machines reach Spain
11/03/2020
SPAIN'S first-ever on-street pizza vending machines have gone live – in Málaga city, Girona and in the Basque province of Guipúzcoa - with up to 12 varieties on offer and very reasonable prices.
Pizzorro, owned and run by Jean-Daniel Hagolle, is already popular in France with around 750 vending points.
The machines operate 24 hours a day and are stocked up with around 70 pre-cooked pizzas in a refrigeration compartment which, once you put your money or debit card in and make your choice, are heated up and ready to dispense within three minutes.
Prices range from €5.90 to €8.
Hagolle says they are 'just as good as any you would buy in a restaurant' and are made with 'fresh ingredients'.
A computer programme inside the vending machine monitors use-by dates and cooking instructions, and keeps track of how many of each type are still left, so they can be topped up regularly.
At the moment, Hagolle is the only person with the legal rights to set up a Pizzorro vending machine, but with three now in Spain, he is expected to start to roll them out elsewhere in the country.
