The VENTiT pizza box implements an incredibly simple solution to improve pizza deliveries.
VENTiT creator Vinay Mehta holds the Guiness World Record for having the largest collection of pizza boxes — since 2009, he’s collected over 650 of them. Mehta used his incredible pizza box collection to build a better box after realizing that steam trapped inside of a pizza box causes sad, soggy pizzas. The VENTiT’s fix to this problem is to give hot pizza some air by putting a few slits in the bottom of the box.
Despite the box letting steam out, you might think that food would arrive colder than it should. However, VENTiT notes that it has "experimentally proven that the VENTiT box provides better insulation and keeps the food as hot as a conventional box. On the contrary, the food remains hotter."
