(The machine works its magic via internal convection oven). About 70 pizzas are stored in the ATM at a go, but they may be restocking fast — especially because, according to Cincinnati.com, the only other pizza options available to students is a Domino’s. School administrators and student taste-testers are giving it the thumbs up. “It is the best pizza I’ve ever had, and I hate to admit that as a New Yorker,” Jennifer Paiotti, marketing director of XU’s auxiliary services,[ told WCPO Cincinnati](http://www.wcpo.com/news/insider/get-ready-cincinnati-the-pizza-atm-is-here-courtesy-of-xavier-university). The Pizza ATM is an [invention of a French company](http://paline.com/) — and has been available on the Continent for 14 years already. The university is pretty excited about it, as you can see from these tweets: > [](https://twitter.com/XUAdmissions/status/761557836274999297) > [](https://twitter.com/XavierDining/status/760874118157701120) > [](https://twitter.com/XavierDining/status/758680868445642753) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4441307/americas-first-pizza-atm-has-officially-arrived/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4441307/americas-first-pizza-atm-has-officially-arrived/"},"headline":"America's First Pizza ATM Has Officially Arrived","datePublished":"2016-08-05T19:43:47.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:35:11.149Z","description":"\"One small step for pepperoni, one giant leap for pizza kind\"","url":"https://time.com/4441307/americas-first-pizza-atm-has-officially-arrived/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4441307/americas-first-pizza-atm-has-officially-arrived/","name":"America's First Pizza ATM Has Officially Arrived"}}]}] ```
