haven't figured out how to get it home safely and still warm..who has?

I just get it delivered. Or better yet, some of the frozen pizzas available these days get pretty close to take out quality. They are a heck of a lot cheaper. I used to get take out pizza a lot till I added up how much it cost and switched to frozen.

Thanks a lot, now I'm all hungry for pizza.

I balance it on my handlebars and walk. Yeah, pizza is worth walking for, and I HATE walking.

My local pizza place is only 10 blocks away, up a hill, so this might not apply, but I just bungie it to my rack and coast back down the the hill, which generally takes a couple of minutes at the most. Now I'm hungry for pizza, too...

Umm.... Family Dollar had some flat pizza coolers a little while back.... almost identical to what the delivery people bring the pizza's in. Was interesting.... would have sat nicely across the top of my rack and grocery panniers, but I don't buy pizza and bring it home hot, though... either frozen or have it delivered.

I put it in my stomach and take it home that way.

there was a thread a month or so ago where a guy made an insulated pizza rack. I believe it was either here or in commuting.

I only have about a mile to the pizza shop. I just slow down a bit, use a lower gear and carry it like a violin. Takes like 12 minutes from oven to table. Sometimes I prop one end on the handlebar and the other I hold with my right hand.

17 years ago, before I was married and owned a car, I carried a pizza or two over to my girlfriends house this way. Now my wife retells the story frequently as part of the "how did the two of you ever get together", story. ... he would actually bring back the pizza on his bike... I meant to post this story in one of the many "how can I get any play on a bicycle?" threads.

I do what bragi does, strap it to my rack and ride home quick. Still super hot when I get home...

super-douper

it was in commuting, though i remember pics and there aren't any (of the pizza box) in this thread. https://www.bikeforums.net/commuting/129944-pizza-bag-bike.html

I'd go for delivery tho

If it cools too much, just zap it or put it in a toaster oven and broil it for a little while (that's really excellent!). M'mmmm pizza!

I would worry about the attaching of the bike to the rack. A bungy could destroy the integrity of the box therefore smushing said contents

Here's the answer.

Easy. Just put the box flat on your back rack and secure with a standard bicycle cargo net. Tight, but not tight enough to curl the box. To keep it warm, put it in a pizza box insulator like the delivery boys use.

I just put it in the trailer, so easy and no fuss.

My grocery store offers these for a few bucks. They make a specific pizza model, ask your favorite pizza place if they'd order some, or order a case yourself.

Not an answer to your question - but: make your own

I make my own Pita Pizzas all the time. Pitas, tomato sauce, cheese, ham/pepperoni/tofu topping or whatever veggies suits you.

Cheaper, easier to transport, much healthier and far less greasy than a pizza place pizza.

Since moving to California, I miss NY pizza so badly that I scoured the internet looking for the NYC recipes and found this site, which also has forums from dedicated pizza cooks, including threads about how to reverse engineer famous NYC pizzerias' masterworks:

Here's an option...

Honestly, it's not too hard on a rack with bungee cords.

I am making a homemade "pizza rack bag" with a bag purchased off of eBay and some Jandd harware and velcro loops I'm going to sew on the bottom to secure it to the rack, kind of like an oversized trunk rack bag. About $20-$25 total investment, methinks.

Currently, though, I've found I can carry three medium pizzas from Domino's (I know, I know...I'm originally from the NE, and the pizza here stinks which is why I'm stuck with this) using two bungee cords on the rear rack. It's uninsulated, but I live about two blocks away, so it's all of a two minute ride. I can take pictures of that and post them if anyone's interested. The guys that work there usually get a kick out of it. I could probably manage one large using the same method if I had to.

And I second the homemade pizza. We usually make our own dough, and I make sauce and meatballs every Sunday and there's more than enough leftover for making Pizza.

Not that I've been bringing much pizza home, but if I did, it'd get X-strapped to the snapdeck of the xtracycle. In cold weather, I might swaddle the box in a polar fleece or two: it would be near as effective as a dedicated pizza box and useful for every other purpose a fleece can be put to.

bike2math

+1 on making your own. It's easy to transport flour, sauce, cheese home from a store. Do up a large batch of dough and keep what you don't use right away in the fridge/freezer for next week. In the weather we have now I cook my pizza on the grill outside

A top hat, bungee cord, and very good balance.

You know those heaters that places like Dominos have for their electric bags? That would be cool to have, do some Magyver thingy to run it off your headlight battery pack, keep it hot till you get home!
