Yeah, they have the patent for the pizza box. Why expensive to transport instead it would have reduced the material. It's quite a small box as compared to the square box.

Theoretically expensive because when you ship a pallet of pizza boxes to a pizza joint, they come in a very compact completely flat stack.
