A pizza box is a container specifically designed to hold and transport pizzas. Typically made from cardboard, it is lightweight yet sturdy enough to protect the pizza during delivery. The box usually features a square shape, which accommodates the round pizza, and has ventilation holes to prevent steam buildup, keeping the crust from becoming soggy. Pizza boxes often come with printed designs, including the logo of the pizzeria or images of pizzas. They are usually recyclable, making them an environmentally friendly option. The box serves not only as packaging but also as a convenient way to serve pizza at parties or gatherings.
