Apple Lowkey Invented A Pizza Box That Makes Soggy Crust Obsolete

Apple patented a nifty little box box that is capable of keeping to-go pizzas from getting soggy, according to Wired.

The tech company is constantly innovating, but we don’t usually see them making big changes in the food realm. The box was invented by Francesco Longoni, head of the Food Services team in Apple’s new Silicon Valley campus.

The box doesn’t look like a traditional one you’d see at your local pizza shop, as it’s circular, with ventilation holes that allow moisture to escape and not screw up your pizza.

It is casually used by employees who want to take their pizzas from the Apple Park Cafe to go, and has been patented since 2012.  That means Apple has been hiding this hidden gem in its campus for six years, while the rest of us are over here hoping our pie is still edible by the time the greasy delivery guy brings it to us.

Sound too simple? Well, keep in mind that children and grandparents can navigate iPhones, so Apple has a knack for innovating through simplicity.

I’m usually in the camp that believes all pizza is beautiful, regardless of its crust’s consistency, but preserving its freshness is always welcome. Hopefully pizza companies get their hands on these, soon.
