First, flour and water are mixed together to make the dough in a small chamber resembling a washing machine. Inventor Claudio Torghele initially set out to make a pasta machine, but switched to pizza because it’s “a more global product,” he says in a video interview on the company’s U.K. From selection to pie, the process takes less than three minutes, the machine boasts.
