I see the delivery guys riding around in Manhattan and Park Slope with these insulated pizza bags all the time that they usually stick into a front basket...just ask at a pizza shop where they buy them. I was wondering this myself. Maybe I'll try and google for the info now....

Just finished eating my first pizza picked up by bike, here's some pictures of the pizza bag on the back of my bike.
Note: The bag says "Oven Hot!" I must have covered up the T with the tube, lol
I used the following items to mount it:
-1 intact 700x35 inner tube used "large Dinotte O-Ring" style holding the rear of the bag to the seatpost
-1 inner tube cut and tied from the small elastic loop on the bottom of the pizza bag to the rear corners of the rack
-1 Bungee cord going from the left side of the bottom rack attachment, through the elastic loop, to the right side of the bottom rack attachment
-An extra camera bag shoulder strap wrapped around the center of the bag, attached to the bungee cord on either side near the top of the rack
Held up just fine (the pizza and the bag). Of course like everything else I'm sure I'll come up with better ideas as I keep doing it. The pizza bag worked great. When I got home the pizza was still too hot to eat . I paid $20 for the bag after shipping, which apparently was way too much, but I figure after a month it will have paid for itself (I usually order a pizza a week, the delivery charge is $2, I usually tip $3 to the delivery person).

I got it on Ebay. This looks like the same one, and from the same seller too. They sell the multiple pizza bags for slightly more, but I only order 1 pizza at a time so there was no sense in getting any of the larger bags.

I use a 110V flux core wire feed welder.
Pro's-
• I can plug it right into the wall in my garage (no need to wire a dedicated 220V plug)
• easy to learn
• relatively inexpensive (units start around $200 and moving north from there)
Con's
• messy welds, lots of spatter
• can't weld anything but steel (no aluminum, copper, brass, etc.)
• limited thickness of materials that can be safely welded
For a home hobbiest who just wants to play in his garage this is about the best thing you can get. It will allow you to fabricate or repair stuff around the house without the cost or inconvenience of larger setups. For 22 years I never needed to weld anything but in the couple months since i got the welder, I've used it at least a couple times every week. Amazing what you can do what you have enough tools.
I HIGHLY recommend an auto-darkening helmet ($50 at Harbor Freight or Northern Tool) makes welding so easy anyone can do it. PM me if you want more info about the setup I'm using.

If you want to get a little more ambitious there's units like my Eutectic Totalarc 270. It's a 415v 3 phase synergic-pulse machine. it does MIG, TIG, and stick. Has a switchmode power source, is programmable, and will interface with most industrial robots (I probably won't use that feature )
In this picture I'm building a 25 foot plate alloy gamefishing boat (at home). To give you an idea of the power of this machine the transom doublers are 1/2" thick marine grade alloy plate and I had to stack 3 of them to get the right thickness. The rest of the boat is mostly 3/16" and 1/4" marine grade alloy plate.
And the auto darkening helmet is a must IMO. I love my speedglas!

Here we have local pizza delivery on bikes by pizza messengers. They have thermaly insulated boxes similiar to those in response number 4. The boxes are physically attached to rear racks. I always wondered how experienced the messengers are. One dip or fall and the pizza is scrambled. Should such happen, i'd want a refund.
