An improved pizza packaging system, pizza packaging blank and method for packaging more than one pizza in a stacked configuration and for delivery to a consumer comprising a pizza box having a bottom section and a lid panel. The bottom section includes a bottom panel bounded by a plurality of side panels extending upwardly from the bottom panel to define a pizza receiving compartment, the bottom panel being adapted to receive and support a first pizza. The lid panel is hingably attached to the bottom section in a manner to provide topographical access to contents placed within the pizza receiving compartment. An upper level insert is provided for insertion into the pizza receiving compartment, the upper level insert being elevated above the bottom panel and providing an upper level surface adapted to receive and support a second pizza. The upper level insert is supported by at least one support flap and may be further supported by at least one support member which rests upon and is supported by the first pizza. In addition, the pizza box packaging system and pizza box blank in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention may be provided with perforations to allow the division of the pizza box for use as plates and/or to facilitate disposal.
