Cheese the day: This ‘Shark Tank’ pizza container is down to a rare $21 for a few hours

If you order pizza and end up with leftovers, it’s tempting to just toss the box in the fridge. Alas, that’s a surefire way to end up with dry, crusty slices the next day. The cardboard absorbs moisture instead of sealing it in — not to mention, those pizza boxes don’t fit inside every fridge. There’s a better way to store those slices that’s more compact and keeps them fresher for longer: The Perfect Pizza Pack. You may have seen this nifty container on Shark Tank or listed at Amazon as one of its top-selling food containers. Shoppers love it almost as much as sliced pepperoni, and it’s on rare sale for $21 — but only for a limited time.

Why is it a good deal? 💰

This compact pizza pocket is usually $25, but you can save $4 with this deal. (Might not sound like a lot, but adds up when you buy a few! Plus, this is its lowest price in months.) It doesn’t go on sale often, so there’s no telling when it will be marked down again. Plus, it keeps your pizza fresh for longer, saving you from tossing it and wasting any money you spend on your pie. Since this is a lightning deal, it’ll disappear once it’s 100% claimed, so you’ll want to add it to your cart, stat. (Note: Prices vary between colors.)

Why do I need this? 🤔

The Pizza Pack is a silicone container that stacks slices vertically to save room in the fridge while keeping them sealed up tight. In between each slice is a divider tray that keeps them from sticking together, even if you decide to reheat the entire stack at once. On their own, the five trays double as microwaveable pizza plates for reheating one slice at a time. When you’re not using it, the container collapses to take up minimal space in your cabinets.

It appeared on Shark Tank in 2022. Founder Tate Koenig made his second appearance on the show (he presented his Cheese Chopper in 2021) and persuaded Lori Greiner to invest. “Sharks, crust me. It’s time to cheese the day. We are just preheating the oven on this legend-dairy product that is literally history in the baking,” he said in his pitch. “But we need your dough.” No wonder he got an investment!

What reviewers say 💬

Over 4,400 Amazon customers give this convenient container a five-star rating.

Pros 👍

“The problem with pizza Friday was that I always had to clean out the fridge and find room for two pizza boxes. But not with this — now I can fit almost a whole takeout pizza in this thing,” shared one impressed reviewer. “It’s a fridge lifesaver.”

“This beats the socks off of a paper plate and plastic bag,” shared another. “Keeps slices separate, plus being able to put the entire thing in the microwave at once is clutch.”

“I thought this was a silly gadget until I started using it!” admitted another happy customer. “We eat pizza every week. We always have leftovers. In the past, the leftovers took up too much space in our refrigerator. We got this and now, we save space in our fridge, keep our pizza very fresh and have very little and easy clean up. An excellent product.”

“This thing rocks!” said a fourth. “Not only does it store a large amount of pizza, keeping it fresh, it also packs away flat when done. Our local place does square pieces and it even fits those.”

Cons 👎

The container’s collapsible design might be a wee bit too collapsible, some say.

“No more paper plates in between slices or wax paper,” said one shopper, before adding that their “only con is when you press down, even when filled, hold the bottom before snapping — it has a tendency to collapse down. Really so minor.”

This final fan agreed: “When you go press the lid down to engage the locking tabs, the storage unit wants to collapse. Makes it awkward when you have pizza inside. Still a great product and will continue to use it.”

Psst — when it comes to slicing your pie, one Yahoo shopping editor swears by these:

Amazon

Senior Home Editor Jessica Dodell-Feder. “One of my favorite projects was our special pizza issue, devoted to all things cheesy, saucy and doughy. I learned many excellent tips while researching and reporting stories for that issue, but only one elicits shock (and a bit of delight) when I share it: The best way to cut pizza is with scissors.

“Think about the last time you tried to slice a hot-from-the oven pie with a pizza cutter wheel. Did it make it all the way through the crust on the first try? Or did you have to roll it back and forth several times, dragging the cheese and dislodging the toppings? My guess is the latter. Even the sharpest wheels aren’t foolproof, and who really needs one jamming up their utensil drawer? The far better option is kitchen shears. They give you control over the size of each slice, and they cut cleanly through even the thickest dough.”
