Cool Video: The BBC Goes Inside a Frozen-Pizza Factory in Ireland

Posted by Adam Kuban, November 20, 2008 at 1:15 PM

The BBC has a fascinating video inside a frozen pizza factory in Naas, Ireland. It's amazing how few people are needed to run the place, which turns out 2 million pizzas a week.

It's all very Laverne & Shirley intro, minus the wacky charm of human beings.

When the pizza "bases" are topped with to-mah-to sauce, it'll sort of remind you of the Play-Doh Mop Top Hair Shop.

And the pepperoni stick machine—looks sort of like some octomonster has been caught in a trap. [via Tien Mao]

The pepperoni machine is scary. But the girl with the blue hairnet is quite fetching.

I live in the UK and let me tell you i recognize these and they are some of the worst supermarket pizzas available, the tomato is so sweet and the base is like rock - not a pleasant experience
