A pizza shop owner in New York, took to social media to introduce his latest innovation, an edible¹ pizza box.

 

纽约一位披萨店主近日在社交媒体上介绍了自己的最新发明：可以吃的披萨包装盒。

 

The pizzeria is ditching the cardboard container for a pizza box that's made of one thing and one thing only -- 100 percent pizza.

 

Vinnie's Pizzeria in Brooklyn revealed "the pizza box pizza" via Twitter and it's been sending hungry pizza lovers into a tailspin.

 

The pizza box pizza starts with a pepperoni pie that comes enveloped² in a square pizza, replacing those boring non-edible boxes of yesteryear.

 

"It's a Sicilian pizza underneath³ -- like a fluffy⁴ Sicilian pizza that forms the pizza box," said Vinnie's owner Sean Berthiaume.

 

He says the idea came to him during slower business hours while he was thinking about customers coming in for a slice or two, then discarding their greasy⁵ boxes right away.

 

"Sometimes I get a little upset when customers ask for a box and then they sit down and eat the pizza and they throw away the box right away. So that kinda clicked something in my brain."

 

So the pizza box isn't just delicious -- but it's also environmentally friendly.
