Ideally I want to figure out how to store these in an overhead bin. I have seen more ridiculous stuff on a plane then some guy trying to bring some pizza home.

I have seen some pizza places package their pizzas I guess you could say in an entirely different fashion that might prove very useful here. Their method of packing was a bottom pizza cardboard tray with a lip. It also was constructed on the exterior to not allow grease to drip through it. The lip kept the pizza in place during transportation (Think bringing it home), then there was another well...larger one of these on top, maybe 1/2 inch larger in diameter so this lid could fit over the pizza, and over the lip of the bottom tray. Then they slid this assembled tray in to a paper pizza bag (not your traditional pizza box). It allowed for easy stacking of pizzas with little concern over toppings since the exterior of those cardboard "trays" had a grease resistant that also made it difficult for toppings/cheese to stick to it. This method looks to not be taken mainstream and I only can ever recall a small chain of pizzas places doing this.

I could fit 6 of these Settebello pizzas in a pizza box design like that in something like 8-10 inches of height due to the compact design.
