Pizza Boxes Buying Guide
The right pizza box keeps every pizza flat, covered and neat from the oven to the customer’s door. This guide covers pizza box sizes, white, brown and printed finishes, case quantities and the small extras that stop toppings sticking to the lid.
Which pizza box size do I need?
Pizza boxes are measured in inches across, matching your pizza size. Choose a box that fits snugly so the pizza doesn’t slide around in transit:
- 7 inch: personal and kids’ pizzas, garlic bread and sides (100 per case). Available in white, brown and printed.
- 9 inch: small pizzas (100 per case). Available in white and printed.
- 10 inch: small to medium pizzas (100 per case). Available in white, brown and printed.
- 12 inch: medium pizzas, the most popular size for many takeaways (100 per case). Available in white, brown and printed.
- 14 inch: large pizzas (50 per case). Available in white, brown and printed.
- 16 inch: extra large and sharing pizzas (50 per case). Available in white and printed.
White, brown or printed pizza boxes?
White pizza boxes look clean and smart, and give you a blank surface for a sticker or stamp with your logo. Brown pizza boxes have a natural kraft look that suits artisan and wood-fired pizzerias. Printed pizza boxes carry a ready-made pizza design, so your boxes look the part without paying for custom print.
Stop toppings sticking to the lid
Our pizza box tripods are small three-legged stands that sit in the middle of the pizza and hold the lid off the toppings and cheese, which is especially useful for larger pizzas and longer delivery runs. They come in cases of 1,000.
Quick buying checklist
- Match box sizes to your menu, usually 10, 12 and 14 inch plus a 7 inch for sides or kids’ meals.
- Choose white, brown or printed to suit your brand.
- Remember 14 and 16 inch boxes come in cases of 50, and smaller sizes in cases of 100.
- Add pizza tripods for large pizzas and delivery.
Pizza box FAQs
Which size is most popular? For many takeaways, 12 inch is the everyday medium, with 10 inch and 14 inch either side of it.
Can I add my own branding? Yes. White and brown boxes give a plain surface for a logo sticker or stamp.
Can pizza boxes be recycled? Clean cardboard is widely recyclable, but heavily greasy or food-soiled parts usually aren’t. Tear off clean sections for recycling and check your local waste guidance, or use the Recycle Now locator.
