A pizza shop owner in New York, took to social media to introduce his latest innovation, an edible 1 pizza box.
纽约一位披萨店主近日在社交媒体上介绍了自己的最新发明：可以吃的披萨包装盒。
The pizzeria is ditching the cardboard container for a pizza box that's made of one thing and one thing only—100 percent pizza.
该店的披萨外包装将不再采用纸板盒，转而使用一种由单一材料制成的盒子，这个单一材料就是：100%的披萨。
Vinnie's Pizzeria in Brooklyn revealed “the pizza box pizza” via Twitter and it's been sending hungry pizza lovers into a tailspin.
这家名叫“维尼披萨”的店位于布鲁克林。店家在推特上披露了自己“披萨做成披萨盒”的创意之后，饥饿的披萨吃货们立刻不淡定了。
美国小店推环保披萨：可以连盒一起吃
The pizza box pizza starts with a pepperoni pie that comes enveloped 2 in a square pizza, replacing those boring non-edible boxes of yesteryear.
这种“披萨盒披萨”中间是意大利辣香肠馅饼，包装在一个方形的披萨面饼里面，取代了过去那种不可食用的纸盒。
"It's a Sicilian pizza underneath—like a fluffy 3 Sicilian pizza that forms the pizza box,” said Vinnie's owner Sean Berthiaume.
维尼披萨的店主西恩·贝尔蒂奥姆表示：“底下就是一种薄饼，把松软的薄饼做成了披萨盒的样子。”
He says the idea came to him during slower business hours while he was thinking about customers coming in for a slice or two, then discarding their greasy 4 boxes right away.
他表示，顾客不多时，他就有时间考虑一些事情，比如看到食客吃完几片披萨后，随手就把油乎乎的盒子扔掉了。于是他想到了这个“披萨当盒子”的主意。
“Sometimes I get a little upset when customers ask for a box and then they sit down and eat the pizza and they throw away the box right away. So that kinda clicked something in my brain.”
“有时面对顾客要包装盒的状况，我挺沮丧的，因为他们就坐在那儿吃，吃完把盒子一扔。这种场景深深地印在了我的脑子里。”
So the pizza box isn't just delicious—but it's also environmentally friendly.
所以这种披萨盒不仅美味，而且环保。
But an entire box made of dough 5, sauce and cheesy goodness doesn't come cheap. Each pizza box pizza costs $40. And to keep it fresh, it's wrapped in tin foil.
不过，这种由面粉、酱料和奶酪做成的披萨盒可不便宜。买一款这种“披萨盒披萨”要花费40美元。为了保鲜，这种披萨外面还要包上锡纸。
While many people want to help the environment by using less cardboard boxes, they still want to get their pizza delivered to their home.
虽然很多人有少用包装盒保护环境的美好愿望，但他们还是希望自己订的披萨能够送货上门。
Vinnie's Pizzeria does deliver right to your doorstep but Berthiaume prefers customers enjoy his pizza in the store or come pick it up fresh.
维尼披萨也提供送货上门的服务，但老板贝尔蒂奥姆更希望顾客能堂食，或者来店自取。
