A pizza vending machine in Glasgow, Scotland has become the center of controversy since city officials claim it should not have been installed in the first place, according to a Glasgow Live report.

The machine on Blackfriars Road, which holds 96 pizzas in a chiller that are cooked and delivered in three minutes, has been popular with students ince it was installed last year.

The machine's owners, who also own a local bar in the area, applied for permission from the city retroactively.

City planners have refused permission due to cooking fumes and noise.

The owners claim the machine is fully electric and cannot emit fumes and will appeal the planners' decision.
