Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This invention relates to a small, rectangular "pizza plate." [Background technology]

[0002] The disk-shaped pizza commonly eaten today can be eaten by one person, but even products that are advertised as such tend to be large in size and expensive, making them difficult to eat casually in terms of both quantity and money compared to other fast foods. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] If the size is large, it is difficult to order alone because it is either shared with multiple people or the amount is too much for one person to finish. Also, if the price is high, it is a reason to eliminate it as a meal option in light of the recent economic situation. In addition, pizza is a food that is eaten with the hands, but there is the problem of getting your hands dirty. Therefore, if the size is just right for one person to finish, it is relatively inexpensive, and the shape and packaging do not easily get your hands dirty, you can eat it without worrying about the amount, price, or dirt. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] There are many precedents for square pizzas (a prime example is "Pizza al Taio," which is baked in large pieces and sold; unlike our idea, it has no crust, so it sells with lots of toppings), but the pizza block of our invention is baked rectangular from the start and has edges so the toppings do not spill out, plus the crust is crispy and does not lose its shape. The size is about the same as a chocolate bar, just right for one person to eat (calorie-wise it is about the same as a "sandwich" or "hamburger"), and it is served in a paper bag that is easy to hold in one hand. Effect of the Invention

[0005] Smaller portions mean less food is eaten in smaller portions and the price is lower, and the calorie intake is also reduced, making them easier to eat for the elderly, children, and people who are concerned about calories. Also, if there is no need to cut the portions, they can be eaten with one hand, and your hands don't get dirty, so they are easier to eat as takeout. More opportunities to buy them will increase the repeat customer turnover rate, and if one portion is not enough to fill you up, there will be more opportunities to buy multiple portions or to order a side dish to increase the average customer price.

[0007] The product is delivered in a paper bag. EXAMPLES

[0008] It will be sold as a fast food eat-in or take-out menu item, and can be eaten while holding a smartphone or working on a PC, making it suitable for a wider range of situations than current pizzas. [Explanation of symbols]

Claims

[Claim 1] Compared to regular pizza, which is baked into a disk and cut into pieces, this pizza is about the size and shape of a chocolate bar, making it easier to eat in terms of quantity and shape, and less likely to get your hands dirty.
