Well, Because I'm bad and i can do whatever the hell I want when I want.

to add space for a "ketchup" and be able to make the "closing"
the closing mechanism needs foldings and based on that, the shape will change.
Pizza hut has a "Square"
but Papa Johns isnt a square!!

its easier to get the pizza out

anonymous · Answer

The answer is that they make those boxes in bulk for things like salads and vegetable containers and whatnot, so when they sell them to the pizza places they flatten them down and use them for pizza. Then when they throw them out the boxes are recycled into paper bags for breadsticks.
