Claim:
A box useful for pizza, the box comprising: a first portion having a perimeter defined by opposing longitudinal side edges, a front edge and a back edge; a second portion having a perimeter defined by opposing longitudinal side edges, a front edge and a back edge, the second portion being hingedly coupled to the first portion; a pair of side walls each hingedly coupled to one of the opposing longitudinal side edges of the first portion, each of the side walls including a removable segment that is substantially triangular in at least one plane; a front end wall hingedly coupled to the front edge of one of the first portion and the second portion; a back end wall hingedly coupled to the back edge of one of the first portion and the second portion; and a transverse score line extending across the first portion, the transverse score line located between and spaced apart from the front edge of the first portion and the back edge of the first portion, and extending substantially between the opposing longitudinal side edges of the first portion; the box being structured such that when the second portion is separated from the first portion and the separated first portion is creased along the transverse score line, the first portion, in an assembled condition, defines a container having an outer front wall, a hinge opposing the outer front wall and defined by the creased transverse score line, and a tapering depth that continually decreases from the outer front wall to the creased transverse score line.
