But then you have a calzone startup, which most definitely isn't something SoftBank (or anyone who likes food) wants to scale up.

The CalzoneYcombinator startup rule:

The time that your startup will last is inversely proportional to the complexity of your first product.

Start with the minimum viable product that you can positively build and sell, and gain complexity only in successive iterations. It does not matter if your pizza can selfdrive into your mouth. Your startup will be death for years at this point.
