America Just Got Its 1st Pizza ATM

A newly installed ATM at an Ohio university is doling out the next best thing to money— pizza. The AP reports Xavier University in Cincinnati partnered with a French company to install the first Pizza ATM in North America on Thursday. The company, Paline, says the machine will hold 70 pizzas at once. Each medium-sized pizza costs $9 or $10, depending on toppings. Customers will be able to use a touchscreen to select a pizza, which will be heated for several minutes, placed in a cardboard box, and ejected through a slot. Paline says the pizza dispensers have been in Europe for 14 years. They're typically in small towns, at gas stations or pizzerias. (More pizza stories.)
