Silicon Valley has a new vision for the pizzeria. It involves lots of robots

Not long after the pizzeria Zume opened for business last year, its kitchen staff noticed a problem with some of its pizzas: they had holes in them. It wasn't the fault of the workers, who rolled out intact dough bases. It wasn't even the recipe -- a Zume pizza base can handle its fair share of toppings. Josh Goldberg, 38, is the chief technology officer of the Mountain View, Calif., pizza joint. Although most pizzerias don't have an engineering staff, let alone a CTO, Zume prides itself on its use of automation to make operations more efficient. It estimates its kitchen can make 10 times more pizzas than a pizzeria with a comparable staff.
