Pizza Hut brings you a Moving Box Table for your pizza break

Posted on 06/09/2024 by Ida Torres

As someone who has moved houses a lot, I can attest that the food of choice during breaks is pizza. You don’t need any utensils to eat it and oftentimes, you end up just plopping the box on any surface as you partake of a delicious slice and chat with your friends who are helping you move. It’s not the most sanitary of course since there’s probably a lot of dust and dirt lying around on the floor.

Designer: Pizza Hut

Pizza Hut is offering a quick and simple solution for this problem, especially during this time when a lot of people are apparently moving in the U.S. The Moving Box Table is a simple to assemble miniature cardboard table that you can use to place your box of pizza on as you snack. This limited-edition box is perfect for peak moving time so that you can enjoy your slice while not thinking about being sanitary.

The Moving Box Table has a corrugated structure that folds into a base or mini table that is sturdy enough to hold your pizza box. It has of course the iconic red checkered design of Pizza Hut. Setting it up is pretty easy as you just have to unfold and assemble and you’re good to go. It doesn’t really say if you can re-use it, but most probably you can, unless you get all kinds of sauces and toppings on it while eating.

This comes for free if you order a large menu-priced pizza but is exclusive to the cities of Dallas, Charlotte, and Orlando. This is apparently three of the most popular U.S cities to move to especially during this time.

Why reusable, circular pizza boxes are better for the environment… and even for your pizza!

Posted on 19/12/2020 by Sarang Sheth

I was today years old when I got to know that pizzas used to be transported in stackable, reusable copper containers before the pizza box finally took over. The pizza box was the brainchild of a certain Tom Monaghan, better known as the founder of Dominos Pizza. Invented in the 60s, the pizza box aimed at replacing past solutions with something that was quick to produce, great for scale (especially considering how much of a cult status pizzas have today), and easy to dispose of. What Tom didn’t realize back in the 60s when environmental impact wasn’t a hot button issue, was that just in 2011, Americans would be throwing an average of 3 BILLION pizza boxes each year, generating enough waste to wrap around the earth a whopping 26 times… with boxes weighing as much as 36 times the weight of the Eiffel tower.

You see, Pizza boxes are by virtue of their design, single-use. The box inadvertently gets greasy when a pizza is put inside it, and because of that, can’t be reused a second time; it can only be composted. Besides, we aren’t even addressing the amount of paper that’s wasted in creating a square box for a round pizza pie. PIZZycle (a portmanteau of pizza + cycle) is a closed-loop solution that allows pizza boxes to be used, washed, and recycled. The boxes come molded from a bioplastic, which allows them to be the same shape and size as the pizza. Vents on the rim of the box allow steam to escape, keeping your pizza crisp, fluffy, and delicious, and a slide-to-lock design that allows the packaging to stay closed during transportation. Designed to be reused, the PIZZycle boxes are delivered to customers, who can eat directly out of it (because it’s conveniently plate-shaped) and throw it in the dishwasher to get cleaned. Cleaned boxes are then transported back to the pizzeria (hint: delivery guys), where they’re reused. The bioplastic generates much lesser waste than the single-use paper box does, and just like its predecessor, can be composted if it were to get damaged. It beautifully marries space-saving circular pizza boxes with an environment-saving circular economy, so you can eat your pizza guilt-free, well, at least partially!

Pizza Hut + Ogilvy designed a limited edition pizza-box with a foosball table built into the lid!

Posted on 08/10/2020 by Sarang Sheth

It seems like Pizza Hut and Ogilvy want you to ‘play with your food’, or at least want you to play with the packaging of your food. The two brands collaborated over the launch of a new limited-edition pizza box that comes with an actual foosball table built right into the lid!

The Foosball Pizza Box was created as a warm-up for the Europa League which begins October 22nd (Get it, Warm-up? Pizza?). Wendy Leung, marketing director of Pizza Hut explains, ‘the Pizza Hut Foosball Pizza Box was a great opportunity to remind football fans that pizza goes best with their football. Launched at a time when everyone’s stuck in their houses, the box hopes to drum up enthusiasm, interest, and positivity. While diehard fans are just waiting to go out and support their teams or play their own games of street football, the Pizza Hut Foosball Pizza Box provides a great safe alternative, allowing you to battle it out with your friends in the comfort and safety of your own homes. Winner gets an extra slice, perhaps? And if there’s a tie, just equally divide the pie!

The Foosball Pizza Box is currently only available to pizza-enthusiasts in Hong Kong (although enough enthusiasm could push the companies to roll it out worldwide)… you can shoot your shot at winning your own Foosball Pizza Box by visiting the Pizza Hut app, or leaving a clever comment on Pizza Hut Hong Kong’s Facebook page.

Pizza Hut’s new eco-friendly ’round’ boxes are engineered to make the pizza tastier

Posted on 22/10/2019 by Sarang Sheth

That title may be a little too much to digest (wordplay!), so let me break it down for you. Pizza Hut’s new pizza boxes are an absolute culture shift, because they’re now ROUND! These innovative boxes hug the pizza by being the same shape as the pie, and are also designed to be compostable. The round boxes, developed by Zume, comes along with Pizza Hut’s push to make their pizzas more ‘sustainable’. The new range of pizzas that sit inside these UFO-shaped boxes use a special plant-based meat that the company calls “Incogmeato”. The idea to use plant-based meat isn’t new, with Burger King and KFC both looking to lab-grown and plant-based meat alternatives. The box, on the other hand, is interesting, as it not only uses lesser material than its iconic square predecessor, but also comes with a few nifty features. “This revolutionary round box—the result of a two-year journey—is the most innovative packaging we’ve rolled out to date,” said Pizza Hut chief customer and operations officer Nicolas Burquier. “The round box was engineered to make our products taste even better—by delivering hotter, crispier pizzas.” The box even interlocks with boxes underneath it, allowing you to neatly and securely stack them one on top of the other in transit. What a great time to be alive!

This box makes pizzas even more of a comfort food!

Posted on 21/06/2018 by Sarang Sheth

The redesigned pizza box for Boston Pizza does more than transport your delicious pie from restaurant to doorstep. It actually makes its way to your bed too, transforming from protective pizza case to makeshift dining desk!

Designed as a partnership between Boston Pizza and advertising agency John St., the BP In Bed pizza box comes looking unsuspecting and normal. However, two flaps, one on the front and one of the back, fold inwards to become legs, as the pizza box’s hinge gets locked in place using a pretty neat looking fix. The box comes with a nifty manual, a delicious pie within, and everything needed for a lazy day in bed, or better still, the perfect setup for watching the football world cup!

Pizza Box Turns into a Tray for Eating in Bed

Posted on 08/06/2018 by Shane McGlaun

I’d never want to eat pizza in my bed because when pizza is in my hands I go all omnomnom and make a huge mess. I’d so get the sauce and random toppings all over the sheets, and wake up with pepperoni stuck to my face. For those who do like to eat in bed, the folks over at Boston Pizza teamed up with John St advertising agency to create the most genius pizza box ever. I mean this is way cooler than that one Apple created.

This box comes to you like any normal pizza box, but it turns into a tray for eating it while lying in your bed. The box includes instructions for converting the box into a bed tray, all while the pizza remains in the box. While I’m still unlikely to eat pizza in bed, I’d totally use it on the couch while I catch up on The Walking Dead.

Sadly, the box isn’t a permanent fixture at Boston Pizza. It’s only for a Father’s Day promotion the company is running from June 6 to 11, so if you want one, you’d better move fast. Now I’m hungry for some pizza.

This Pizza Box Robot Shoots a Laser in Your Eye

Posted on 20/04/2017 by Conner Flynn

“You’ll shoot your eye out kid!” That’s what someone should have told this kid. Northern Arizona University student and programmer Michael Reeves has built a sophisticated pizza box robot – one that uses a camera and facial recognition software to shoot a laser straight beam into your eye. What could possibly go wrong?

He must have wanted one of these for Christmas and never got one. If anyone uses this robot, it will track your eye down, no matter where your face moves, then point a laser beam straight at it. The build quality here is just top notch by the way. Very impressive.

On a side note, this guy really does remind me of Big Head from Silicon Valley, like one Redditor pointed out.
