Basil Street, a maker of automated pizza machines, has teamed with Prepango, a company specializing in securing contracts for automated retail, food and beverage in airports, according to a press release.

Basil Street is scheduled to launch an APK in San Antonio International Airport in the coming weeks. Thereafter, airports slated for launch or in discussions, and where Prepango currently has vending contracts, include Chicago O'Hare International Airport, Cincinnati/North Kentucky International Airport, Indianapolis International Airport and others. Basil Street APKs meet all regulatory requirements by the National Sanitation Foundation and Underwriters Laboratories.

"Basil Street's APKs fall right in line with other premium innovative automated retail solutions we offer our customers, which include illy coffee, Sprinkles Cupcakes, Lego and Kylie among others, and is exactly what our customers are looking for," Marcos Modiano, founder and CEO of Prepango LLC, said in the press release.

Basil Street's kiosks feature three 10-inch Italian style, thin-crust pizza offerings: four-cheese, pepperoni and a "Pizza of the Month," selling between $12.95-$14.95.

The cooking process utilizes their patented three-element non-microwave speed oven.
