In 2013 Scott claimed the Guinness World Record for having the largest collection of pizza boxes. He had 595 different boxes from 42 countries, representing all seven continents. He now has over 1750 boxes from over 120 countries. Are you relieved to know that all the boxes are "clean" and many are stored flattened?

Scott's collection includes a box from Tony's Pizza Napoletana of San Francisco featuring the work of American tattoo artist Ed Hardy, a scene from Venice which was RockTenn's first 4-color pizza box (both pictured in the top row), and a box from India that is vented to allow steam to escape. Have you ever seen artsy pizza boxes like these?
