Pazzi: Madrid's Retrofuturistic Pizzeria Where Robots Cook and Serve
Pazzi, a new retrofuturistic pizzeria located in the Argüelles neighborhood of Madrid, has opened its doors with a unique concept: pizzas are entirely cooked and served by autonomous robots. Situated at 14 Gaztambide Street, the establishment has quickly become a local attraction, drawing crowds of curious residents and children who watch the machines knead dough, add ingredients, bake, and serve fresh pizzas through glass windows. Laurent Zmiro, Co-CEO of PAZZI International, describes the venture as a global experiment aimed at revolutionizing the fast-food takeaway sector. Addressing concerns about automation replacing human labor, Zmiro emphasizes that the company has created seven local jobs in Madrid, including roles for engineers, ingredient specialists, and customer service staff.
