Three SpaceX rocket engineers quit their jobs to open a pizzeria

Three former engineers of SpaceX, Musk's rocket company, built an automated pizza-making machine that can make a pizza every 45 seconds. Their "Stellar Pizza" robot restaurant will open in Los Angeles next spring. .

The company was founded in May 2019 by three former SpaceX engineers Benson Tsai, Brian Langone and James Wahawisan.

Benson Tsai is the CEO of Stellar Pizza. He worked for Elon Musk’s company for five years, designing advanced battery systems for rockets and satellites.

He assembled more than 23 former SpaceX employees to build an automated, non-touch pizza maker that can be mounted on the back of a truck.

One of the company’s employees is SpaceX’s former executive chef Ted Cizma. According to his LinkedIn profile, he created a food service project for the rocket company’s employees.
