The great pizza mystery has finally been solved.
No, it's not the crust, the cheese, the sauce or the toppings that are the problem.
It's the box, silly!

Everyone has an opinion about which pizzeria is best in town, but only one person can tell you which pizza box is the best in the world: Scott Wiener, the Guinness World Record holder for the world’s largest pizza box collection.
A self-described pizza enthusiast and the proprietor of Manhattan’s sole pizzeria tour, Scott’s Pizza Tours, Wiener, 32, has amassed a collection of more than 600 pizza boxes from at least 45 countries -- all of which he stores in a single closet inside his Brooklyn apartment....
The problem with pizza delivery boxes, though, is that they’re not effective at delivering pizza. Fresh pizzas emit steam that gets trapped inside cardboard pizza box. This leads to “soggyfication” -- a term Wiener coined that denotes a pizza’s loss of taste, crunch and structural integrity....
But he’s also civic-minded. After a protracted global search, Wiener said he has found a pizza box that addresses other boxes’ failings. Straight out of India, it’s called the Ventit, and according to Wiener, it helps preserve a pizza’s taste and crunch.
