The invention is directed to a box, namely a pizza box having a bottom
wall; a peripheral side wall attached to a periphery of the bottom wall;
a top cover including a rear edge hingedly attached to the side wall, a
front edge, and two side edges between the front edge and the rear edge.
The box is fitted with a serving tray having handles on at least two
opposing sides. The serving tray is designed to fit inside the pizza box.
The box may contain at least two slits in the top cover, each slit
extending along the front edge, side edge or back edge. These slits are
configured so that the handles from the serving tray partially fit into
each slit thereby providing additional support for the overall structure
of the pizza box. This allows the pizza box to be constructed of lighter
material with the additional support coming from the handles of the
serving tray.
