Have you ever peered into the steam coming off a piping hot rescue pizza pie and thought to yourself , " Oh , man , I wish I could feed the box , too " ? No ? We have n’t either . But it grow out a Brooklyn - based pizzeria has claim the problem that you ’ve never had and created a root : a pizza that come serve in a box made out of pizza . It ’s equal parts beautiful and altogether insane and we require one .
Vinnie ’s Pizzeria , the same marinara maniacs that unleashedpizza topped withsmaller patch of pizzalast summer , first revealed the literally cheesy creationon Instagram , say it ’s all edible and therefore good for the environs . " No waste product , as it is all 100 % pizza and 100 % delicious , " the post tell . " No more pizza boxes clutter up up your fridge or trash . altogether PIEodegradable . "

" I was barrack by when people enquire for a box and then just sit around down and use up the pizza and then just project the box away , or when I ’m walking around see pizza pie box everywhere on the street , " he say . " It ’s made in jest , but at the same time , if people need to put it , people can order it . ”
As you could imagine , it take a scrap of trial and error to make a Pizza Box Pizza that was structurally reasoned . Berthiaume explains that it ’s more than just close a Sicilian pizza pie and jostle another pie at heart .
" The actual box itself is like a Sicilian shekels and I kind of scoop it out and push it down to form a container , " he said . " Then i have to construct the eyelid , which is almost the hardest part , I ’d say , because it needs to be able-bodied to meet right on top of that and you ca n’t really have Malva sylvestris falling off the palpebra that opens . I made sort of a garlic - y European olive tree oil top that ’s almost like a garlic clams . Then you make the belittled pizza that lead inwardly . "

Berthiaume admit there are " by all odds some crick to work out , " but say they ’d belike transport it on a tray .
As for eat it , Berthiaume said that ’s open for rendition .
" If you want to have a slice of the little pizza , that ’s fine , " he said . " If you require to rive off some of the pizza pie boxwood , do what you need . "
