A carton, and a blank for forming the same, is disclosed which is adapted for storing and heating a food product such as a pizza. The carton includes a bottom wall defined by a bottom panel and closure panel, disposed in abutting and coplanar relationship. The bottom panel is provided with a plurality of venting apertures. In use, the closure panel is rotated away from the bottom panel such that a pair of elevator panels extend therebetween. The closure panel thereby defines a base for supporting the bottom panel in spaced relationship to the bottom of the oven. Further, the venting apertures are uncovered allowing moisture to escape from the carton while the pizza is being heated.

A carton adapted for storing and heating a food product such as a pizza, said carton comprising: opposed top and bottom walls disposed in spaced apart, parallel relationship; and a tubular side wall extending between and hingedly connected to the side edges of said top and bottom walls to define an enclosed carton, said bottom wall being defined by a bottom panel and closure panel disposed in abutting relationship to said bottom panel and, said closure panel being located externally of said carton, said bottom panel including a rectangular vent panel disposed adjacent to and spaced from one side edge of said bottom panel and defined by a combination of a first fold line and an intermittent U-shaped cut line, said U-shaped cut line extending away from said one side edge, said rectangular vent panel including a second fold line disposed parallel to said first fold line and dividing said vent panel into a support panel and a first elevator panel, said bottom panel further including at least one venting aperture formed in the remaining area of said bottom panel and with said support panel of said bottom panel being adhesively connected to said closure panel adjacent one side edge thereof, and with said bottom panel being further adhesively connected to said closure panel along a line adjacent the other side edge of each of said panels respectively, and with said closure panel further including a pair of fold lines disposed parallel to and spaced from said other side edge of said closure panel and defining a second elevator panel whereby when said food product is to be heated within said carton, said intermittent score line defining a portion of said venting panel is broken such that said closure panel may be rotated downwardly away from, and laterally to said bottom panel, with said elevator panels extending therebetween thereby uncovering said one venting aperture and defining a base for supporting said bottom panel in spaced relationship therewith, and with said vent panel being rotated out of the plane of said bottom panel to define another venting aperture.
