We use a Pizzarella and it works great, NO heat, NO oil just flour and it does 12". It's much less cost than this one he uses. I see he has to still stretch the dough out for the machine. With the Pizzarella just place the dough ball in the center and pull lever down for approx 3-5 sec and done!! It's around 11k but so far so good.

I love technology but with the time spent on the dough press you could stretch the dough by hand and have the sauce on the dough. We use "00" flour and the dough is made with no oil and it stretches super easy, no bounce back. Your oven is beautiful keep that oven floor at 750F- 800F and you got Neopolitan pizza in under 3 minutes. I'm old school NY and if customers see a dough press they will frown as if saying WTF.

$400k for opening a pizza joint. Sorry but I opened two pizza joints for about $30k each. That’s just excessive for that small joint. Mixer, ovens, refrigeration, pans, sinks, ect. Gotta say he got suckered. I can stretch a dough ball in about 10 seconds. I can portion out dough balls in about 3 seconds each. I can roll up the ball 2 at a time in like 2 seconds. Oil the storage boxes and let them proof. He’s trying to take a old school business and turn it into a spaceship or something. The sales rep saw him coming.

I'm looking into opening my own shop soon so hearing that you can do for it 30k is really promising to me. This guy lost me at a Dunkin guy with sole purpose to franchise. Then he showed the robot machine and lost me entirely. If you can't teach your guys to stretch you probably aren't very passionate about pizza.

I like the idea. Took the skilll out so employees don't need so much training. Working with dough and oven can take a minute. The dough machine plus spinning slate def speed up new hires. Couple smalls things that would make this better. 1. Cube the low moist mozz so it doesn't go full orange. These types of ovans are for fresh mozz. 2. On the line put the veggies first. As I tell all my help, veggies go on first so the meat has a better change to get crispy. a little texture does make a difference. Anyway fun idea for a pizza place.

Awesome video. Owner seems like a great guy. With that being said in this chipotle/subway pizza category I think it’s hard to beat place like blaze pizza. Ive been to several of these types with my family because its easy to share 2-3 pies. The speed/price/taste, blaze is my top in this category. Even in super touristy areas blaze was still affordable compared to others. I remember we went to a pieology down near Kissimmee, Florida and I think for a kids, but it was almost $13! But at blaze it was less than $8. I feel when you get over a certain price point then you might as well go to an actual legit pizza joint of your choice.
