A thermally insulated disposable container for pizzas, pies or other round, flat food items is formed of a unitary sheet of plastic foam material with lower and upper sections each formed with a round flat member and a drafted side wall. An integral, flexible hinge connects a portion of the rim of each of the upper and lower sections, so that the sections can be closed with the pizza or other food item contained inside. Tabs which extend from the side walls of the container carry a Velcro or similar filament pile engaging material to permit the upper and lower sections to be releasably close to one another by the tabs and the engaging materials. In one version, radial ribs in the lower section divide the same into wedge-shaped compartments so that pie wedges of different types of pies can be kept segregated from one another.

A thermally insulated disposable container for pizzas or other round flat food items to be served hot, the container being constructed substantially entirely as a unitary sheet of plastic foam material, said container comprising: a lower receptacle section including a round, flat bottom member and a drafted side wall surrounding said bottom member and rising slopingly outward to a circular rim; an upper cover section including a round, flat bottom member and a drafted side wall surrounding said bottom member and rising slopingly outward to a circular rim; wherein said receptacle section and said cover section are of generally identical dimensions and of geometrically similar shape so the pizza or other food item can be placed into either said section and covered with the other said section; an integral flexible hinge connecting a portion of the rim of the upper cover section to the rim of the lower receptacle section, so that these sections can be closed rim to rim with the pizza or other food item contained within the container; at least one tab extending from the circular rim of the side wall of each one of said receptacle and cover sections at a position remote from said hinge, each of said tabs having a circumferential extent smaller than the circumference of the receptacle section and the cover section, said tabs being located at complimentary positions to one another; and latch means formed of a flexible filament pile engaging material, one portion of which is affixed to one of said tabs and an engaging portion of which is affixed to the other of said tabs on the receptacle and cover sections to permit the sections to be releasably closed to one another by said latch means.
