A pizza shop owner in New York, took to social media to introduce his latest innovation, an edible pizza box.
紐約一位披薩店主近日在社交媒體上介紹了自己的最新發(fā)明：可以吃的披薩包裝盒。

The pizzeria is ditching the cardboard container for a pizza box that's made of one thing and one thing only—100 percent pizza.
該店的披薩外包裝將不再采用紙板盒，轉(zhuǎn)而使用一種由單一材料制成的盒子，這個(gè)單一材料就是：100%的披薩。

Vinnie's Pizzeria in Brooklyn revealed “the pizza box pizza” via Twitter and it's been sending hungry pizza lovers into a tailspin.
這家名叫“維尼披薩”的店位于布魯克林。店家在推特上披露了自己“披薩做成披薩盒”的創(chuàng)意之后，饑餓的披薩吃貨們立刻不淡定了。

The pizza box pizza starts with a pepperoni pie that comes enveloped in a square pizza, replacing those boring non-edible boxes of yesteryear.
這種“披薩盒披薩”中間是意大利辣香腸餡餅，包裝在一個(gè)方形的披薩面餅里面，取代了過去那種不可食用的紙盒。

"It's a Sicilian pizza underneath—like a fluffy Sicilian pizza that forms the pizza box,” said Vinnie's owner Sean Berthiaume.
維尼披薩的店主西恩·貝爾蒂奧姆表示：“底下就是一種薄餅，把松軟的薄餅做成了披薩盒的樣子。”

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 boxes right away.
他表示，顧客不多時(shí)，他就有時(shí)間考慮一些事情，比如看到食客吃完幾片披薩后，隨手就把油乎乎的盒子扔掉了。于是他想到了這個(gè)“披薩當(dāng)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.”
“有時(shí)面對顧客要包裝盒的狀況，我挺沮喪的，因?yàn)樗麄兙妥谀莾撼裕酝臧押凶右蝗印＿@種場景深深地印在了我的腦子里。”

So the pizza box isn't just delicious—but it's also environmentally friendly.
所以這種披薩盒不僅美味，而且環(huán)保。

But an entire box made of dough, 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.
不過，這種由面粉、醬料和奶酪做成的披薩盒可不便宜。買一款這種“披薩盒披薩”要花費(fèi)40美元。為了保鮮，這種披薩外面還要包上錫紙。

While many people want to help the environment by using less cardboard boxes, they still want to get their pizza delivered to their home.
雖然很多人有少用包裝盒保護(hù)環(huán)境的美好愿望，但他們還是希望自己訂的披薩能夠送貨上門。

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.
維尼披薩也提供送貨上門的服務(wù)，但老板貝爾蒂奧姆更希望顧客能堂食，或者來店自取。
