Customer Reviews
Talk about one-of-a-kind. I was channel surfing one night and came across a special about Scott Weiner and his amazing pizza box collection. I said to myself, "I have got to buy his book." Glad I did. I learned much about the history of pizza & pizza boxes and totally enjoyed skimming through page after page of colorful artsy pizza boxes from around the world, especially Italy. One interesting fact I gleaned from Scott's book (and there were many) is that it was our very own, USA based Domino's Pizza that introduced the corrugated pizza box to the world in 1966. The Dominos box added insulation and improved stability to pizza boxes containing "steaming hot pizza" that has a tendency to weaken boxes from the inside. While reading the book I was also surprised at how many of the generic type boxes I have seen or received pizza in over the years. From now on I will pay more attention to what my pizza comes in and watch for unique boxes. After reading Scott's book I visited a favorite pizzeria and ordered their super big pizza, about 24 inches in size. A photo is attached. Hey, Scott, have you seen this one before? LOLp.s. Just watched your video on the amazon site and noticed you showed a smaller version of this box in a video. Should have known you saw it before! Mark
