Why do round pizzas come in square boxes, amirite?

Because squares tessellate.

...fit together? You can't store circle boxes very well, there'd be gaps between them.

It still doesn't make sense to me. So what? What if there are gaps between them? There're gaps between the square and the circle too. :S

But if you're storing the pizza boxes you'd want a square or some kind of shape that fits together so that you can fit the maximum amount of boxes in the least amount of space. It doesn't necessarily matter as much if the pizza fits perfectly in the box, either way you're only putting one pizza in each box so it doesn't make a difference how it fits. If you're putting a bunch of boxes in a storage room you want to be efficient. It's like playing tetris, you want your pieces to fit nicely together.

Why not

Because it is easier to make a round pizza than a square one. It is also easier to make a square box than a round one. So, who cares?

I heard that it doesn't squish the pizza.

I thought about that too, but i realized a circle box would be harder to open, at least for me.

Ever try making a round box? Boxes, in general, are square for a reason. It's simple and easier to open. For a round box, the lid would have to be made to come off completely, like a hatbox. It's a big hassle. Clean-up is also easier. Square boxes can be more easily folded up and disposed.

A box doesn't necessarily have to be square. Can't it be a round box?
