Round things, such as Pizza, cakes, plates, dishes, and so on, come in square boxes because round boxes cost far more to manufacture. It's a lot easier to make a square container than it is to make a circular one. It's much easier to clip a lid into a square box than a round one. Empty, they also ship and store flat, and can be stacked on a shelf (empty) when put together for that day's pizzas.

For deliveries, it gives room for those little dips to be stored in the corner. And square boxes stack best inside the thermal bags for delivery.

Who decided that a round pizza should be put in a square box?

It is easier and cheaper to make square boxes instead of round boxes. The boxes can be shipped flat and quickly folded, and easily stacked. It is also easier to handle a square box than a round box. A few pizza makers do deliver in octagonal boxes, but these are much harder to assemble and save little paper. Traditionally pizzas are round because a ball of kneaded dough is tossed, rolled, or pressed into a layer of equal thinness, which naturally produces a generally circular shape. Some pizzas were always made square or rectangular, and this results in a 27% greater area of pizza for the same width (4r2 versus pi r2).


The area of the bottom of a pizza box is 100 square inches.if a circular pizza fits in the box with the pizza touching the sides of the box at their midpoints what is the diameter of the pizza?

10 inches, assuming the pizza box is square. If the area is 100 in2, then each side must be 10 inches long. Since the pizza goes from the end of the box to the other side, it is also 10 inches in diameter.


A square pizza box has an area of 324in squared what is the length of one side of the pizza box?

The length of one side would be 18 inches. A square means that each side is equal so you take the square root of 324.

Would a 8 inch circle pizza fit into a 8 inch square box?

Is the 8 inches of the pizza the diameter or circumference? Is the 8-inches of the box the area of side length? If the diameter if the pizza and the side length of the box are both 8-inches, then the pizza will barely fit. If the circumference of the pizza is 8 inches, that means that the diameter is 8/pi = 2.546..... and that would fit in a box with side lengths of 8-inches. If the box's area is 8-inches, that means the side lengths are the square root of 8=2.828.... A pizza of diameter 8-inches won't fit, but a pizza of circumference of 8-inches will.
