The present invention relates to a pizza box comprising a lid section and a tray section, wherein the lid section comprises a recess that accommodates the neck of a user, or wherein the lid section comprises a tear line defining a removable section. The present invention alleviates the problem of dropping pizza and/or pizza toppings on the consumer, and provides additional utility.

A foldable pizza box and method of preparing the foldable pizza box for disposal. The foldable pizza box includes a plurality of perforations placed on several surfaces thereof, bisecting the foldable pizza box into two symmetrical halves and imparting flexibility to the foldable pizza box along the perforations. The foldable pizza box includes triangular punch-outs, formed by perforations, that add additional flexibility to the foldable pizza box when displaced or removed. The foldable pizza box may be easily folded along the perforations, thereby making the foldable pizza box more compact. After folding the foldable pizza box, the foldable pizza box may be easily disposed in a waste or recycling receptacle.

A delivery pizza may include a pizza box and pizza disposed therein. A toy container may be disposed in a gap of the pizza region between the pizza and adjacent sidewalls of the pizza box. In another embodiment, a toy partition member may be used to separate the toy from the pizza. A toy container may be configured to be supported by an in-store pizza on a pizza tray. A board game delivery device may alternatively be included in the pizza box to include a board game delivery device to enable a board game and accessory pieces therefor to be delivered to a consumer of the pizza. The board game may be positioned beneath the pizza, and game accessories may be disposed in storage regions defined by the board game delivery device.

Systems and methods for providing compostable food containers which preserve the quality of a food product for an extended duration of time, and which optionally allow for cooking of the food product therein. In some implementations, the food containers are sturdy, stackable, insulating, and require minimal or no manual labor to assemble. In some implementations, the food container includes a base and a cover which cooperate to form a closed chamber for supporting, protecting, insulating and optionally cooking a food product, such as a pizza. The base and cover may each be formed of a single layer of material including, but not limited to, molded sugarcane fiber (bagasse), molded wood fiber, molded bamboo fiber, molded paper or plastic.

A table-like support placed within a pizza container between the pizza and the pizza container cover providing support for the pizza container cover to remain apart from the pizza, and includes a convenient and covered cutter cutting used to provide slices of a pizza pie. One embodiment includes within the support a removable section which reveals and provides user access to a circular cutter.

Provided herein is a machine for forming a container from a blank including a tray and a lid. The machine has an upstream end where the blank is loaded and a downstream end where the container is discharged and includes a frame, a pre-forming assembly, and a mandrel assembly. The pre-forming assembly is configured to partially form the lid and the tray by folding each of a plurality of side panels of the blank and further form the tray by partially folding a front panel assembly of the blank, the front panel assembly including a front panel and a roll-over panel. The mandrel assembly is mounted to the frame and configured to engage a bottom panel of the tray to form each of a plurality of corners of the tray and fold the roll-over panel to form a front wall of the container.
