Texas Aggies are now enjoying the perfect pizza, made to order by an automated machine. Here’s how it works: After loading the dough, Picnic Pizza Station applies the sauce, cheese and by 80% fresh-cut toppings. Every hour, the Picnic Pizza Station can assemble up to 100 pies. Now that’s fast! Customized pizzas are then loaded into the ovens to cook. This helps Texas A&M Dining reduce food waste while using cost-effective technology to craft pizzas.
