CINCINNATI — A newly installed ATM at an Ohio university is doling out the next best thing to money — pizza.
Xavier University in Cincinnati has partnered with a French company to install the first Pizza ATM in North America.
The company, Paline, said the machine will hold 70 pizzas at once. Each medium-sized pizza costs $9 or $10, depending on toppings.
Customers will be able to use a touchscreen to select a pizza, which will be heated for several minutes, placed in a cardboard box and ejected through a slot.
Paline said the pizza dispensers have been in Europe for 14 years. They’re typically in small towns, at gas stations or pizzerias.
