I came across this the other day and at first, it seems really cool!  Vinnie’s Pizzeria in Brooklyn has found a unique way to box your pizza, that’s good for the environment.  That’s right, now your pizza can come in a box… MADE OF MORE PIZZA!  The idea is, there’s no waste, because you eat the box after you eat the pizza.

Sounds pretty cool doesn’t it?? Until you start thinking about the logistics of a pizza coming in a bigger pizza box. You know, little things like, GERMS and who/what touches the box you’ll eventually eat.  It’s in Brooklyn, so as for taking it home, you’ll be carrying the pizza box, you want to eat later, down the busy street with all kinds of nasty floating around.  If you take the subway or a cab, then you’ve got those germs.  Let’s say it picks up here in GR, so now it’s riding around in a stranger’s car. And did everyone wash their hands before handling my pizza in a box of pizza? Maybe I’m just weird, but I think it will defeat the purpose of no waste, because I’m sure as heck not eating my pizza box.  Now maybe if you stuff toppings on the bottom, I’ll eat that.  But if we’re truly going for lack of waste, I think we missed that.

You know what else comes in it’s own unique wrapper and taste like delicious pizza?? Hot pockets, and I take them out of the little baggie myself at home.
