      Square is space efficient than round.

      Thus square boxes would help in more efficient storage of large number of pizza boxes. However, round is easy to divide uniformly among friends in order to eat a pizza, no matter how many the number of friends is. When you try to divide a square pizza then one of your friends might get a bigger slice than what you get. (i.s., unless you have 4 or 8 friends). With round shaped pizza the possibility of pizza-friends is limitless 😀

      Have you tried making a round box perfectly fitted to the size of a pizza? Much less effort to make it nice and square.
