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 reason food chains use square pizza boxes is that they are easier to stack and fold the cardboard. Pizza containers are made out of cardboard material and are shipped flat to take up less space. If pizza boxes were rounded, there would be no way of folding them.

Round pizzas are traditional because old timey pizza chefs would throw the dough in the air to make it thin, and it comes out round when you do that. But with that, Deep Dish pizzas are often square. Papa John's and Little Caesars make them that way.

Because pizza sellers want to make pizzas look unique and imagine a rectangle pizza in a rectangle box. Don't you think it is a little weird?
