It's the UK's first, and it has started serving customers outside a pub in West Ashling.

The Pizza Rebellion has been launched at The Richmond Arms by landlord Will Jack, and his wife Emma, following weeks of testing.

Through a touchscreen, customers can order a pizza between 11.30 am and 8.30 pm.

A positive of the invention is whilst we are still in a global pandemic, it requires minimal contact, which could reduce the spread of coronavirus.

Meanwhile, the company are developing an app to allow orders to be placed from any location to make it even safer to order, without touching screens.

Reviews on the pizza so far have hit off at a good start, with one person stating: "Great pizza, super fast and easy! Had a Margarita and a pepperoni both were delicious, restaurant-quality - for the price you'd pay for a nasty takeaway".

Here's how it works click.
