Definitely a different experience and I mean that in the best way! The price was very reasonable and the selection of pizzas was great. the pizza was cooked well ( a little undercooked) but i liked it.

The pizza was great , im giving 4 stars because the experience with the machine screen was not good in sunny days , i suggest you install screens that adapt to sunlight , i couldnt see clearly

Pizza was uncut which is not ideal for if you’re having it there. It also felt very undercooked. Overall, even though the price is great, it doesn’t feel worth it and you could get a better meal elsewhere for the same price

Pizza itself is ok, gladly recently pizza-o-mat was tuned a bit and cooks well. It’s quick and not expensive. Great customer service.

The pizza is awful. It promises artisan pizza and that it's "great not good"... But it's not even good. The vegetarian pizza includes toppings thrown on randomly and they use canned mushrooms. It's worse than frozen pizza by a long shot. Cool concept, love that it's 24/7, but they are basically just warming up a premade pizza that isn't worth it. And they are charging like $13 for a small pizza. Seriously, go hungry or try somewhere else.

Honestly, in a pinch.. pretty good! Kind of expensive ($14) for a single person pizza. Surely something more around the area can be more affordable for lunch- however this was pretty cool. I can’t deny it. Had the BBQ chicken! Was kind of dry, but what else can I expect from a literal pizza vending machine? Next time I’ll go for the goat cheese. If you make a TikTok with the machine, they’ll send you a promo code for a free pizza! Check ‘em out!

This review is for the vending machine, not the restaurant. The crust could be cooked a bit more. Pizza tasted good though. I might give it another go when they're more busy. I think the crust will be more done then. Update: it's terrible and I'm not coming back here ever again. I think pizza pizza is better and tbh until last week I thought it was at the bottom of the pile but then I went to a Little Caesar's. This vending machine pizza is better than than but the fact that there's no cutlery provided and they don't slice the pizza for you makes it really hard to eat there. You have 2 choices; carry the pizza home (which for me is a 20 minute walk and the pizza will be refrigerated by then) or eat it there, ripping it apart with your hands like a savage. I went with the latter. I got the 4 cheese pizza this time. Crust was undercooked and had too much cornmeal and a weird gummy texture and the top was charred. Only reason this is a 2 star is because I've had worse and this will do if you have literally no other places to go to.

Basically frozen pizza heated up by the machine. +1 star for being 24/7 and fast. Had a late night munch after a bike ride and it was a perfect grab to go food being so convenient. However, flavor wise, it is what you expect. Dry frozen meat, average sauce, average cheese. Ordered 3 pizzas and the doughs were not consistent.

We stepped inside to check the dining area and again went out to order. Then we came back to get inside, the door was loked. We ordered two pizzas, and i figured it out that not only is the quality not the same as before, and pizzas are getting smaller and smaller.

Do not eat here. This automated food is quite distasteful. The pizza is tasteless, scaldingly hot when it comes out, and the toppings look like mouse droppings. My friend and I both had diarrhea after eating here. The place should be closed. There are far better pizza options in the area.

Pizzaforno is my fav. I dont even like pizza but the BBQ chicken is the best. I stay in a small town during summer and the tourists are skeptical, but when they notice I order one they always ask how it is. I should work on commission! Awesome for late night after party food. Food

I was lucky to get a vegetarian pizza, though it was the last one (in the afternoon). They should load more as they seem to be popular. The pizza is good, but I wish there would be more vegetables on it - I expected more than just few mushrooms and olives. Vegetarian options: They offer cheese and vegetarian pizzas, BUT vegetarian ones are usually out of stock.

The concept is great. The experience is smooth, but the product itself is terrible. The pizza (if you can call it that) is doughy, it more like flat bread and some sauce. Ive retried it but its almost a disappointment. Understood that this a machine, but i would encourage the company to start honing the recipe and product quality and they could satisfy customers and improve repeat business.

Not a very user friendly experience. I couldnt actually try the pizza. The payment option was not processing and was very glitchy. I tried to start the process over, I waited a few minutes but the screen did not change and I was still stuck trying to purchase this pizza. I will stick to more traditional methods for ordering pizza. The technology is not quite there. Update: Since changing their payment system I find myself using it. It is super great late at night and really warm. It is not as good as pizza from local spots but it beats chains and I would rather have this than pizza pizza.

I came across this giant kiosk with really good looking pizza ads around it so I thought one would order at the kiosk and pickup inside the restaurant. Nope, I was wrong, this was a pizza vending machine, popped out my pizza within under 5min. Their pizza? It looked nothing like the pictures, in fact at best quality of average frozen pizza. Definitely wasnt the Artisan pizza they claimed. Not good people!

I love the concept!, The product out of the machine was just ok, I I was really hoping it was going to be great, We purchased 3 pizzas, we had two baked out of the machine and one we carried home to bake which had a much better outcome. The two out of the machine, Hawian and BBQ Chicken both appeared under cooked, some of the cheese was not fully melted and the crust was soft like a warm pita bread, not toasted or baked adequetley. We brought home the meatlovers and baked it for an additional 1:45 min more than the recomended time to get the crust to my desired doneness, Im still intersted in this product as I believe it will have a future in our industry.

I thought the softer crust would be a killer but it was very good, warm and cheaper than the campus pizza

Hope this reaches someone in the higher ranks. Havent tried your pizza yet, cant comment on that, but you definitely should train your drivers better, Today around 7am i almost got thrown off the highway 427 southbound by one of your drivers that was driving like crazy swerving in and out of traffic and almost gave me a pit maneuver trying to go into my lane. Thank god I was paying attention and was able to swerve into the HOV lane. We were going 110 and I had cars in front of me, i dont know where he wanted to go, but his stunt almost cost me my life. I have a picture of the van and his plate number. I got the scare of my life. I saw my life passing in front of my eyes. :( :(

Honestly for a pizza that comes out of a machine its pretty good! I often come here during my breaks. I recommend not going between like 12pm-1PM as there is usually a line up. Sometimes they run out of stock. My favourite ones are the 4 cheese and the meat lovers :)

Im a pizza lover. I hold my standards high for pizza. I was so skeptical the first time I tried Pizza Forno... It just surprised me! It was a lot better than I expected it would be! The ingredients are nice and of high quality. The dough, which Im very particular about, was great! Thin and crunchy on the edge, nice bread flavor. It tasted like a pizza someone would bake fresh in a restaurant for you. I honestly really liked it! My favorite was the one with honey and goat cheese

Do not waste your time or money for this pizza or company. Frozen pizza that is warmed in a toaster! I was the first person to offer pizza forno in Michigan and after 9 month the US distributor filed for bankruptcy as the sales where terrible and the quality even worse. Pizza Forno Corporate did not help any of the franchises and allowed them to just close leaving us with 6 figure machines that do nothing. Save your money with both the pizza and franchise!

Basically a pizza vending machine next to a large window with nice furniture visitors alas must covet since it only has outside seating available in city that gets one week of sunlight per year. If someone responds to this review, ignore it since its just a robot wagelessly generating passive income just like everything else here.

This is edible. Thats the highest compliment I can give it. Is the dough made of corn?! I dunno. The sauce doesnt taste. The pepperoni tasted like poor quality sandwich cold cuts. The pizza was hot- that is one thing they got right. It didnt even look appetizing. Also is wasnt sliced. Not enough cheese coverage either.

Its like a frozen pizza, it is much healthier than if you got an actual pizzeria. Very little grew which was nice. Also open 24/7 so you can get it at any time.

2 Stars: Honestly, love the concept, but the pizza is INDESCRIBABLY trash. Like so bad it s an experience I can t even be mad at level of bad It somehow all tastes like dough. Everything. The tomato sauce, cheese, toppings; EVERYTHING miraculously blends into the flavor of dough. I m honestly impressed.

December 22, 2022

Abosolute worst pizza I have ever seen. I would rate this place a quadruple 0 out of 10 ... I orderd a pepperoni pizza today at the king street toronto location and my co worker orderd the vegetarian pizza. I would have rather eaten the box it came in then the actual pizza. I threw mine out and my co worker left hers on the table for a potentially unfortunate homeless person to eat.. which I am positive they would pass on. overall awful experience. Over priced $26 for to sh*tty pizzas.. no napkins no drink option from their audimated ordering system and the pizza wasnt even cut into slices.. I am just dumbfounded how this place is even in business... YIKES

Tried the one at Tobermory. The concept is cool but it just didnt deliver. The Pizza was not good. We bought 3. And our kids who usually devour pizza, couldnt finish their slices. There were 2 people in front of us who also ordered 3 pizzas each. We waited close to 30 minutes just to order ours and have it in hand. The machine is slow as it only makes one at a time so if there is a line, you will be waiting some time.

Got the BBQ Chicken pizza ($14.69). Dry trash that is overcooked and undercooked at the same time, a modern miracle. The toppings are burnt while the crust is undercooked and spongy. Barely any cheese on it, so there isnt that nice gooey layer of cheese when you separate slices from a quality pie. A Dr. Oetker Ristorante frozen pizza from the supermarket is superior. I noticed that you could buy a cold version for $1 less. If youre going home to eat, you may as well buy a Ristorante frozen pizza for less than half the price and pop it in your toaster oven. Just go to any pizzeria around thats not named Pizza Pizza and youll get better pizza at a cheaper price. I cannot imagine how anyone could rate this 5 stars, let alone anything higher than 1. Perhaps all theyve ever eaten is Pizza Pizza.

December 22, 2021

I didnt know what to expect considering its coming out of a kiosk, but it turned out to be pretty good! Did the at home honey & goat cheese, so it was a bit on the salty side, but thats goat cheese for you. Will definitely come back and try other flavours! Decent price and the digital experience is cool.

This is the perfect example of just because you can do something doesnt mean you should do it. The dough is too doughy, the sauce is basically flavorless, it just tastes and feels like a low grade frozen pizza/small town hockey rink pizza. It was quick and a cool concept Ill give it that but its mostly a gimmick. If you get this pizza dont expect it to be anything more than frozen pizza quality. But enjoy the show.

If youre really hungry its good pizza to get in 3 mins otherwise still they need some more changes to put. I guess theyll do it. Cons: 1) Less options 2)they dont cut pizza instead they give you plastic to cut. 3) its medium pizza. Pro: Not that bad taste if youre hungry. Cool and hot both in 3 mins.

I had low expectations of such concept, and they went below that. Crust was stale, toppings lacked flavour, and for that price you can purchase better options if you can wait for regular hours.
