Pizza Hut is fusing two of America’s favourite pastimes – pizza pies and pickup trucks – in a bid to cut delivery times as fast-food competition heats up. 

As part of the restaurant’s latest partnership with Toyota Motor Corp, Pizza Hut has unveiled a robot-operated mobile pizza factory in the bed of a modified Toyota Tundra. The prototype will use automated technology to cook pies on-the-go in six to seven minutes, letting the chain expand its delivery area without the pizzas getting cold.
