Most pizza made today are robot made in factories, it has been the case for decades. Shit-tier pizzas and didn't improve over time.

Not sure if that's true, there's some frozen supermarket pizza now that's seriously good. If I ordered fast food and they delivered a freshly baked Crosta Mollica pizza I wouldn't send it back. Of course a fresh pizza is better, but imo you couldn't get a Crosta Mollica quality frozen pizza 10 years ago.

  Perhaps MSG. Seems to have been proven harmless, but leads to overeating, in my case.I"m not giving it up, I can't eat veggies without it :)

Are you talking about frozen pizza? That's always rather disappointing. Even chains like Dominos let alone good local pizzerias make their pizzas to order by people.

Those factories still have people stretching dough, while the bases travel along a big belt, because human hands are good for that task, and are widely available and easily repaired or replaced, and adapt to different shapes and sizes of product and other contingencies.

    People stretch dough, as I said, in factories, on production lines. This happens. Robots don't do this.

The pizzas I've been buying in Tesco are quite good really like this lot https://www.independent.co.uk/extras/indybest/food-drink/best-supermarket-pizza-tesco-sainsburys-b3038696.html https://www.independent.co.uk/extras/indybest/food-drink/bes... apparently they are "hand stretched" but I presume much of the other processes are automated in a factory. (prob not AI robots). A lot is about the quality of the ingredients. Those are wood fired and not frozen.
