In 2013 Scott Weiner published "Viva La Pizza! The Art of the Pizza Box". The book features the history of the pizza box, traces design trends, and has photos of 100 "weird and wild" boxes from his 1750-piece international collection. Would you page through it?
I'd read it word-for-word.

Included in the book is a photo of a pretty box from Picasso's Pizzeria in Buffalo, New York. In 2012, hometown artist Michael Biondo was commissioned to paint a pastel drawing featuring a street scene in Italy. They hung the painting on the wall of the restaurant, and the picture appeared on the lid of their pizza boxes. Do you find it attractive?
It's gorgeous.

A very creative pizza box from the former company PackToy featured a Venetian scene on their lid that could be transformed into an 80-piece jigsaw puzzle. Your thoughts? (Please choose all options that apply.)
How clever! A dual purpose.

Fun idea, but my lid usually has cheese or toppings stuck to it.

I don't want a jigsaw puzzle that smells like pizza and has grease smears on it.

Scott fondly remembers the first time he bought food for himself with his own money as a kid. It was pizza. He maintains his enthusiasm for eating pizza by limiting himself to 15 slices per week. When delivering a speech about his career at his alma mater, Syracuse University, he shared the importance of immersion: "Being so into something you don't mind it taking over your life." Could/do/did you immerse yourself in your career? (Please choose all options that apply.)
Yes, I'm fairly obsessed.
