Exactly, the dough alone is a whole job. I found other robots online that pull dough balls directly from a fridge and press them out, so those seem like they would save time.
And those robots also put the pizza into the oven, remove it, and cut it.
if you’re doing all three of those steps, dough, toppings and cooking, that would save some time.
You do still need someone for prep, making the dough balls, cutting most ingredients, filling the various machines, etc. But those robots could be helpful at reducing labor costs. Could being the key word.
If these things break I don’t know how long they take to fix. Sure people “break” too, but they’re easier to swap in.
We need to stop focusing on"cutting labor costs" providing jobs IS part of the responsibility of owning a business. It seems so sickening to try and stop employing people. Like that’s part of what being part of society as a business should do.
The thing is, people aren’t going to come in every day to work for 2 hours. If you’re hiring someone, you get much better results hiring them for more hours. So now you have a guy come in to make dough and pay him another six hours to baby sit a machine that also costs as much as the worker? Partial automation doesn’t make any sense when it results in people standing around.
But what you’re talking about is real–machines do lower labor cost for pizza. Every pizza place has a giant mixer almost as tall as I am with a dough hook to make its dough in the morning.

I assume the person making the dough is also prepping by chopping vegetables and meats, as well as babysitting the machine.
Zero people is impossible (since regardless someone has to load the machine), but reducing from 3 down to 2 or down to 1, that could be possible.
