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).
