800 Degrees Pizza Will Soon Operate 3,600 ‘Automated Pizzerias’

Today, 800 Degrees Pizza and Piestro, the robotic pizzeria, announced a partnership that would offer diners a fully automated pizza experience in thousands of locations nationwide.

Ever since the pandemic, demand for delivery and takeout options has increased alongside consumer pressure for more convenient food choices and the lack of restaurants’ access to labor. Anthony Carron, co-creator and head chef of 800 Degrees Pizza, wanted to address all three concerns by partnering with Piestro’s culinary technology.

This collaboration is set to bring the 800 Degrees Pizza brand to high-traffic locations through “800 Degrees by Piestro” machines, with a projected order volume of 3,600 units to be produced and sold by Piestro over five years.

Through Piestro, consumers can expect an automated, standalone, fully integrated cooking system and dispenser — that will deliver 800 Degrees’ artisanal pizzas within 3 minutes.
