Transporting pizza
 
So I have a trip coming up and I love this pizza place I found there. Absolutely to die for.


Anyways I want to try and get 5 or 6 of these pies back with me. What methods do I have to do this?

I already know of
1) dry ice + ship it


But I was wondering what other ideas are out there? Thanks for any input you guys have. Girls too :)


For instance: Can I bring like 6 pies with dry ice in a box as carry-on luggage? Can I put it in the overhead bin? Is the melted cheese considered a liquid (haha I know)?


What about packing it in my suitcase?

I'd be interested in this too but I'm not looking to transport pizza but how to get a Cheesecake from the cheesecake factory back to Europe. Thanks in advance!

You might want to Google "can I carry dry ice on a plane." It appears that it is possible, but there is a limit to how much you can bring on board. All of the sites I found recommend that you call the airline ahead of time for their rules.

I couldn't find anything about dry-ice, but here's the link for the TSA website.

I have transported pizzas before and unless you are driving, I think the best way to do it is to have the pizza place ship it to you. I wouldn't mess with it on a flight.

Yes you can bring dry ice on a plane.

No you won't find any container that you can use for six pizzas they would allow on the plane.

I say freeze them, pack them in a box lined with foam insulation from home depot, and over night them.

On this one, check restrictions - anything dairy could cause you problems - and I say this as someone who is oft befriended by food sniffer dogs!

Easy way is to just eat the cheesecake, although I'd skip trying to eat all 6 pizzas, then travel.

I doubt that there will be anying special about this pizza once you freeze it.

My recommendation would be talk to the place and see if you can get the recipe and make it yourself at home.

I'd love to know what place is so amazing that you want to go through all of this trouble to bring six pies home!
Can you let us know the name & location of the place???

Kinda wonder about the 6 pizzas..

You could try and get measurement of the biggest container that would fit the dimensions allowable for a carryon.. and find a container that will transport the pizzas that fit those requirements..

Or can you check your pizzas in your suitcase?

Having food flown in from overseas isn't unknown, McDonalds burgers have been flown from China to North Korea for the ruling elite to enjoy (whilst others starve).

My stupid question is... How can you eat a frozen pizza and still like it? ;-)

(I'm sorry, I'm italian...)

One of the more reknown pizza resaurants in New Haven, CT (home o the best pizza ;)) will half cook a pie and vacuum seal it. You finish it at home. Not quite as good as the real thing, but better than most pies you'll buy elsewhere. Perhaps your place can do this.

Settebello Pizza in Salt Lake City (they also have a location in Las Vegas and Pasadena, CA).
http://settebello.net/

Wood fired, I would describe the sauce as a sweet tomato sauce - a little high on the oily side.

I am a bit of a pizza aficionado you could say being in college and when on a ski trip the cost of a pizza is just always the right price. Well anyways I try out countless pizza places in SLC to find a lot of blah, but then I came across this gem here and now......I want to bring a lot of them home with me....really bad.
