Pizza saver

The pizza saver is not reused and is typically discarded by the patron, although some people have found secondary uses for them [4] such as egg holders when turned upside down.

[6] In 1985, Carmela Vitale of Dix Hills, New York, was issued a patent for a similar device.

Variations on the device have since been invented by other people, such as a disposable plastic spatula whose handle holds the box top up and a plastic tripod, like the designs by Vitale and Troglia, but with one of the legs serrated like a knife, making for easy cutting of stuck cheese and bread.

[citation needed] As a pizza saver typically consists of a flat surface supported by multiple vertical legs, it is commonly compared to tables, which usually take on a similar form.

[9][10][11] These devices were sometimes repurposed by children as tables around which appropriately sized dolls or action figures could be seated, such as the popular G.I.
