"G. Mondini pizza assembly lines feature the highest cycle speeds in the industry - up to 7,200 pizzas per hour." (https://www.refrigeratedfrozenfood.com/articles/83570-pizza-...)

Judging from https://youtu.be/Do7qLGiVbwY?t=164, the advantage is that they have 3 pizzas in each row rather than just one, and that the pizzas move much faster along the conveyor. It's also not clear from the article but the Seattle system might only support 1 pizza in the system at a time.

The dough is still hand-made, which is an advantage over frozen pizza dough which pretty much sucks, so I'd guess they're primarily interested in selling to delivery pizza chains as a more upscale pizza. Domino's peak is 160 pizzas/hour and they open stores until the average is <100. (https://www.quora.com/How-many-pizzas-does-a-Manhattan-pizze...)



Sorry to say this but pizzas in that youtube video look disgusting.


Yeah, typically the details of high-quality manufacturing processes are considered trade secrets and so there aren't videos of them.

I'm not sure if it's the same pizza as the packaging doesn't quite match but the pizza is similar to this box: https://i.redd.it/hrizyz9gnmdz.jpg

Here is some cheap Italian brand of frozen pizza, probably higher quality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM4n4upANvQ


Well the Italian brand looks at least a million times better.
