, in Brooklyn, New York, is selling the Pizza Box Pizza, a pizza served in a box made out pizza. The “lid” is garlic bread and the bottom is Sicilian pizza. Inside, you can choose your flavour. When Vinnie’s debuted the box on Instagram last week, the post was greeted with universal acclaim from over 700 commenters. Our favourite? @siuette, who tapped into what we are all thinking with this incisive comment: “LOOK AT THIS LOOK AT THIS.”
Unfortunately, owner Sean Berthiaume (who also invented Pizza Inception – pizza topped with smaller slices of pizza) hasn’t yet figured out how to deliver the pizza-in-a-box without an actual box. So for now, this is a dine-in only experience.
In more serious – and far more useful – food packaging news, edible cutlery is gaining popularity as a way to cut down on food packaging. The idea came from Narayana Peesapaty, an Indian agriculture consultant who was fed up with seeing plastic cutlery pollute India’s landfill. He created the spoon – made of millet, rice and wheat flours – in 2010, and has sold more than 1.5 million. The spoon is pretty nifty – if you don’t want to eat it, you can throw it away and it will decompose within a few days. There’s even a spoon built specifically for soup that can last up to 20 minutes in hot liquid.
Now Peesapaty wants to expand operations, with a new facility that can produce up to 800,000 spoons a day, and plans to new lines of cutlery, like chopsticks, forks and dessert spoons. Visit his to find out more.
