Fancy a fresh pizza cooked by a robot while you do your weekly groceries?
Sydney shoppers can now get a fresh pizza cooked by a robot while doing their grocery shopping at Aldi.
The pizza vending machine is being launched at the supermarket’s North Sydney Corner Store.
The completely unique newer style Aldi opened in July last year with products you won’t find at other Aldi stores. The supermarket has exclusively launched Pizzabot, an invention by Bondi start-up Placer Robotics.
The company says it is the first pizza vending machine to be designed and manufactured in Australia and delivers premium restaurant-grade wood-fired pizza, cooked in just two minutes.
“We understand our shoppers are motivated by quality, value and supporting local, and we are extremely excited by our collaboration with Pizzabot, a true Aussie innovation, to deliver great quality pizza and a unique experience, at the lowest price point,” Aldi Corner Store director Huw Longman said.
The pizzas are priced from $8.99, but will only be available for a limited time as part of a trial. Unfortunately for pizza and Aldi lovers across the country, there are no plans to lunch Pizzabot at other stores … for now.
