ABSTRACT:
The present design is pizza box top that has a number of spatula-type trapezoidal shaped plates. These plates can be separated from the box and then used to lift out individual slices of pizza. The plates have a sharp point that cuts easily through the cheese in the center of the pizza. A pizza slice, resting on the plate can be picked up cleanly and safely, ready to eat. The number and size of the plates varies depending on the size of the pizza box i.e., small, medium or large. A second design uses a box insert that has the plates cut into it. This insert can then be placed into the lids of existing pizza boxes. In this way, the millions of pizza boxes already in inventory can be used without having to waste or modify them. The inserts, like the boxes are sized to fit into appropriate pizza boxes. A third design is used for supermarket pizzas that use a circular cardboard base. The standard base can be replaced with a circular base using the spatula-plates.
