Pizza Vinoteca isn't your typical pizza place. The restaurant, which opened in March just off of New York City's Union Square, is taking a high-tech approach to creating quality pizza, with features like an army of iPads and a system that can calculate your wait time.

"There are three aspects to our restaurant, as you can see by our name: pizza, wine, and technology," Pizza Vinoteca CEO Ari Malcolm said to Business Insider during a recent trip to the restaurant. "We really try to take the technology and not only make it more useful for operations, but also have it be as user-friendly for guests as possible." 

The food is delicious, too, with interesting combinations like a shrimp pizza topped with green zucchini and yellow squash, and a meatball pizza served with kale pesto. The infrared grill gives the pizza a crunch that's a distinctly modern take on the traditional Italian dish.

When you enter the restaurant, you'll see a bank of touchscreens.



The restaurant has a custom app to streamline the process of ordering food for takeout.



As you scroll down, you'll see descriptions and prices for each of the menu items. There are four categories of pizza, a selection of salads and paninis, plus bombolini and gelato floats for dessert.
