No DramaBuyer guide · Vending & arcade
The hard part is that a pizza vending machine is a small kitchen in a steel box: a chilled store, an oven and a boxing station, each with its own failure, and the site's power supply often decides the model before the menu does.
01
Most units bake pre-made pizzas held chilled or frozen. Some also mix and knead dough, spread sauce and add toppings. The second has more food contact parts and far more cleaning. Ask which process the quote covers.
Ask whether the oven is infrared, convection or both, and the total connected load. Ask whether the unit needs single-phase or three-phase supply. A site survey before ordering prevents a machine that cannot be switched on.
Ask the storage temperature, how many pizzas the store holds, and whether each slot carries a load time so old stock is blocked from sale.
Ask how boxes are folded or loaded, what happens when boxes run out, and whether the hot pizza is delivered through a door that cannot burn a hand.
Ask whether the oven has a filter or needs an extraction connection, and how grease is collected. An indoor site may need its own approval for cooking equipment.

Send these with the enquiry. Without them, any number a factory gives you is a guess dressed as a quotation.

| Require this | A pass looks like |
|---|---|
| Bake your own pizzas back to back through a simulated peak. | Every pizza reaches the core temperature your hygiene plan sets, measured by probe, in the bake time stated in writing. |
| Empty the box magazine and order a pizza. | The order is refused before baking and refunded, and the fault appears in telemetry. |
| Cut the power mid-bake, then restore it. | The half-baked pizza is discarded, not sold, and the customer is refunded. |

Buy a fresh food vending machine with chilled meals and let the customer heat them in a microwave on site.
Buy a fresh food vending machine. A pizza unit is built around one product.

We name the kind of source, how many and when, and never the factory. Listed prices are asking prices, not landed cost. Where we do not hold a fact we say so: that is a GAP, not an estimate.
07
Every machine we source in this area is on the Vending & arcade page. How a project runs, stage by stage, is on how it works, and what it costs is on pricing.
Straight answers
European units often come with pizza supply contracts and local service. A Chinese unit can suit an operator with its own supply chain, if spares for the oven and box feed are priced in writing.
Process type against the order, core temperature test, box-out behaviour, power-cut discard, connected load on the plate, contact-material declaration, reader model and importer details.
Machinery, low voltage and EMC or radio law for the unit, food contact law for parts that touch food, and food hygiene law for you as operator.
Survey the site power first, fix process and oven in writing, check the documents before the balance, then ship. You are the importer when you buy direct.
