Brand Overview

New Hire — Start Here

Welcome to Pizza Pack! This hub is the single source of truth for the brand across every team at Inventel — CX, Creative, Marketing, Engineering, and Brand. If you're new, read top-to-bottom once, then take the 35-question quiz at the end (70% to pass). Throughout the hub, look for the colored callouts: green = CX, orange = Creative, purple = Marketing, red = Brand, blue = New Hire. Send your printed quiz certificate to your HR onboarding trainer (new hires) or your team lead (existing employees) as proof of completion.

Pizza Pack started with a universal kitchen frustration: leftover pizza eats your whole fridge. Founder Tate Koenig designed a collapsible, food-grade silicone container with five removable microwave-safe divider trays — slices stack vertically, sauce stays on the slice, and the whole thing collapses down when empty. One container replaces the cardboard box, the ziploc, the foil, and the awkward Tupperware all at once.

In 2022, Pizza Pack went on Shark Tank Season 14 (the season premiere, in front of a live audience). Tate asked for $100K at 10% equity. The audience ate it up. Kevin O'Leary made the first offer at the asking deal plus a royalty. Mark Cuban then offered $1.5M for the entire company — a moment that became cultural shorthand for "this product is real." A deal closed with Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner, and Pizza Pack went viral overnight. Organic UGC took off across TikTok and Instagram (the seed video alone hit 693+ likes, and the brand has since pulled millions of impressions). Pizza Pack expanded into multipacks, themed bundles, and pizza-adjacent kitchen accessories.

Marketing · Founder origin (use in PR & press)

The Shark Tank story above is the most repeatable PR/founder story we have — Tate's $5M valuation ask, Mark Cuban's $1.5M counter for the entire company, and the close with Cuban and Lori Greiner. Lean into it for press, podcast bookings, and founder-led content.

Pizza Pack joined the Inventel brand portfolio in 2025 — operations (fulfillment, CX, marketing, web, paid media) now run through Inventel teams. Every Pizza Pack order ships from and returns to the Inventel warehouse in Pompton Plains, NJ. This hub is built for Inventel employees supporting Pizza Pack as an in-house brand. Customers don't need to know the corporate backstory unless they ask; if they do, the short answer is "Pizza Pack is now part of Inventel, which means the brand has a parent company backing it for the long haul."

Today, Pizza Pack sells the original Pizza Pack in multiple colors and pack sizes (single, 2-pack, 3-pack, 4-pack), themed bundle sets, plus accessories like the Pizza Plate (a metal crisper tray for reheating), the Precision Pizza Cutter, and Extra Trays — all through pizzapack.com on Shopify, plus retail and major marketplaces (Amazon, TikTok Shop, etc.). The brand is BPA-free, microwave-safe, freezer-safe, dishwasher-safe, and backed by Inventel's standard 30-day return policy.

02 · Product Line

Product Line

Pizza Pack's lineup is organized into three buckets: the core Pizza Pack container (sold as singles, multipacks, and color variants), themed bundle sets (gift-friendly multi-color combos), and accessories (the Pizza Plate, Precision Pizza Cutter, and Extra Trays). The information below is captured from the live pizzapack.com Shop All collection. Pricing is intentionally not duplicated here — promo codes, bundle discounts, and limited-time pricing rotate on the live site. Always link customers to the product page for current pricing.

CX · Always link, never quote pricing

When a customer asks "how much is X?" — send them the product page link, not a price from memory. Promotional pricing on the site changes weekly: full-site flips, bundle threshold discounts, themed-edition launches. Our internal cheat sheets aren't always live. The product page is. Live shop link: pizzapack.com/collections/all.

🍕 The Core Pizza Pack — How It Works

Before getting into SKUs, every team member needs to understand how the product physically works — the same explanation ends up in 80% of CX calls and every brief.

📐

Collapsible & Expandable

The silicone body accordion-collapses when empty and expands to fit your slices. Stash flat when you don't need it.

🍕

5 Divider Trays Included

Five microwave-safe trays slot inside, separating each slice. Trays double as plates for reheating.

📏

Fits Up to 18" Pizzas

One size fits standard, large, and most XL pizzas. NY-style giant slices may need a small trim at the tip.

🔒

Snap-On Airtight Lid

Vacuum-style seal keeps slices fresh longer. Optional air vent in the lid prevents condensation.

🌡️

Microwave + Freezer Safe

Reheat directly on the tray. Freeze for longer storage. Both rated by the brand.

🧼

Dishwasher Safe

Top rack. Silicone is non-stick and odor-resistant — sauce and grease don't linger between uses.

📋 Master Specifications — All Pizza Pack Containers

New Hire — How a customer actually uses it

Customer puts one slice on each tray, stacks the trays inside the silicone body, snaps the airtight lid, and slides it into the fridge — vertically (door, shelf, or sideways). To reheat: pull a single tray out, microwave the slice on the tray (microwave-safe), eat. Trays go in the dishwasher, the body collapses flat for storage. For a crisp reheat instead of a soft microwave reheat, customer uses the optional Pizza Plate accessory in the microwave or oven.

🎨 Color Variants — Single Pizza Packs

The Pizza Pack is sold in multiple colors as single-unit SKUs: Red, White, Yellow, Green, Orange, Pink, Blue, and Black. Each color is the identical product (specs above) — they're cosmetic variants only. Pink runs as part of the Breast Cancer Awareness initiative each October (a portion of pink-Pizza-Pack sales is donated to breast cancer research).

Brand · Color rotation note

The standing colors are Red, White, Yellow, Green, Orange, Pink, Blue, and Black. New colors are introduced from time to time as limited drops or seasonal promos. Always check the live Shop All page before committing a color list to a campaign or PDP — colors come and go faster than this hub gets updated.

📦 Multipacks (Same Color Only)

The "Pizza Pack Single and Multipacks" listing lets a customer buy multiple Pizza Packs of the same color at a tiered discount — the more they buy, the bigger the discount. Multipacks start at 2 packs (a single Pizza Pack is just a single, not a "multipack") and scale up from there. Per-unit pricing improves at each tier, so a 4-pack costs less per container than a 2-pack.

Important: Multipacks are same-color only. The customer picks one color and gets that color in the quantity they choose. The 2-pack is the most popular tier — common for households finishing more than one pizza in a sitting, gifting one and keeping one, or game-day / family movie-night setups. Higher tiers (3-pack, 4-pack) skew toward larger households, group gifts, and weekly heavy-pizza users.

CX · Same color = multipack · Mixed colors = themed bundle

If a customer wants multiple Pizza Packs in different colors, they're not looking for a multipack — they want a themed bundle. Send them to the themed bundle catalog (next subsection): Pepperoni & Cheese (Red + Yellow), Pepperoni & Veggie (Red + Green), Party Pack, etc. The two paths exist for a reason — multipacks deliver volume discounts on one color, themed bundles deliver curated multi-color sets at a bundle price. Don't try to assemble a "custom mixed multipack" in Shopify — it isn't a real SKU.

🎁 Themed Bundles (Mixed Colors)

Themed bundles are pre-curated multi-color sets at a single bundle price — the path for any customer who wants more than one Pizza Pack in different colors. The standing themed bundles below are always available; seasonal drops (Halloween, holiday, Valentine's, July 4th) come and go on the live shop.

CX · Themed bundle rotation

Themed bundles rotate seasonally — Halloween, Christmas/holiday, Valentine's, July 4th, etc. show up as limited drops. If a customer asks about a specific themed bundle they saw on social, check the live shop first — if it's gone, it's gone. Don't promise restock dates unless Marketing has confirmed one. Offer the back-in-stock notification on the product page (Shopify handles this natively) and recommend the standing bundles (Pepperoni & Cheese, Pepperoni & Veggie, Party Pack) as always-available alternatives.

🧰 Accessories — Pizza-Adjacent Tools

Pizza Pack also sells supporting accessories that pair with the core container — designed to round out the "leftover pizza handled end-to-end" flow (cut → store → reheat). The current accessory lineup:

CX · Free-shipping threshold add-ons

When a customer is sitting just under the free-shipping threshold, the Precision Pizza Cutter and Extra Trays are great low-priced add-on suggestions to push them over. Customers actually use both and they raise AOV without feeling like a forced upsell. The threshold and any active free-shipping offer rotate frequently — always check the live banner on pizzapack.com before quoting a number to a customer.

03 · Wholesale

B2B / Wholesale & Custom-Branded Lids

B2B customers — pizzerias, restaurants, food businesses, and other resellers — order Pizza Pack (including custom-printed lids with their own logo or business info) through a separate wholesale website and phone number. This is not the DTC site. CX agents on the DTC line should never quote wholesale pricing, lead times, or custom-lid options directly — those are wholesale-team decisions and the numbers differ from DTC.

If a wholesale or custom-lid inquiry comes in on the DTC line, route it to:

📞 How the wholesale phone line works

The wholesale number (+1 973-273-4120) is a voicemail-only line — there's no live agent on the other end. Calls land in a CX-monitored voicemail inbox. The flow is:

  1. Customer calls and hears the recorded greeting (script below).
  2. Customer leaves their name, number, and message after the tone.
  3. CX reviews voicemails on a regular cadence — listening to the message and capturing caller name, number, business, and any details they shared.
  4. CX forwards the captured info to the Pizza Pack Wholesale Lead (not handled within DTC CX). The Wholesale Lead follows up with the caller directly.
CX · Voicemail review & handoff

When reviewing wholesale voicemails, capture: caller name, callback number, business/pizzeria name, and what they're asking about (custom lids, case-quantity pricing, net-30, etc.). Send the summary to the Pizza Pack Wholesale Lead — do not try to call the customer back yourself or quote pricing/lead times. The Wholesale Lead owns all outbound contact on these leads. If a voicemail seems urgent or a known repeat business is calling, flag it in the handoff so the Wholesale Lead can prioritize.

Voicemail greeting script (what callers hear)

“Hi, thank you for your interest in Pizza Pack products! Please visit pizzapackwholesale.com to register. We'll review your details and sales location there. Again, that's pizzapackwholesale.com. If you have questions or need assistance, leave your name, number, and message after the tone.”

Most callers self-serve via the website after hearing the greeting. The voicemails CX reviews are typically the ones with specific questions (custom-lid specs, large-quantity quotes, net-30 setup) that the website can't answer directly.

CX · How to spot a wholesale inquiry

Cues that a question belongs on the wholesale track (not DTC): the customer mentions a business, restaurant, or pizzeria name; asks about quantities of 25+ units; asks about custom-printed lids or branded packaging; asks about reseller pricing tiers or net-30 terms. When you spot any of those, send them to pizzapackwholesale.com or the wholesale phone line — don't try to handle the order in the DTC system.

New Hire · Quick rule of thumb

If you hear "my restaurant," "my pizzeria," "case quantity," "our logo on the lid," or "net-30" — stop, and route to the wholesale channel. Don't try to estimate pricing or lead time off the DTC site; wholesale numbers don't match. The two systems, two phone lines, and two pricing structures are intentional.

04 · TV Specials

TV Specials (ABC Secret Savings, GMA, etc.)

Pizza Pack runs TV specials on outlets like ABC Secret Savings, Good Morning America, and similar national television placements. These are big moments for the brand — a TV special drives a wave of inbound traffic, calls, and orders that lands all at once when the segment airs.

Each TV special gets its own dedicated setup, separate from the standard DTC flow:

  • Special landing page / website built for that spot (different URL, different offer, sometimes different SKU bundling)
  • Dedicated customer service line for inbound calls related to the spot
  • Special promo discount exclusive to the TV audience (different from the standing site discount)
  • Specific inventory and fulfillment setup sized for the expected wave

All TV special details are shared with every relevant team before the new spot airs. CX gets the script, the offer, the dedicated phone number, and the special URL ahead of time. Marketing and Creative get the assets and tracking. Web Dev confirms the landing page is live and tested. If you're hearing about a TV special after it airs, something broke in the comms chain — flag your manager so the next one is briefed properly.

CX · TV special calls vs. standard DTC calls

When a TV special is live, callers will reference the spot ("I just saw the offer on Good Morning America"). Confirm which spot they're calling about, then use the dedicated TV special script and offer — not the standard DTC script. The TV offer, code, and bundle are different from what's on pizzapack.com that day. If you don't have the brief for the active TV special, escalate immediately rather than improvising.

05 · DRTV

DRTV (Direct-Response TV) Commercials

DRTV is one of Inventel's specialties as a parent company, and Pizza Pack runs DRTV commercials as part of the marketing mix. Inventel has deep experience in this format — it's a core capability that came with the acquisition.

Pizza Pack's DRTV creative is short-form or mid-form — typically 30-second, 60-second, or 2-minute spots. We don't run long-form (28-minute infomercial) DRTV for Pizza Pack; the product demo lands faster than that and long-form doesn't fit the brand. Spots are built around the same patterns that work in paid social: real problem → real demo → real proof → one clear CTA, with a phone number and URL on screen.

As with TV specials, every team gets the brief before a DRTV spot runs — CX gets the inbound script and the offer, fulfillment gets the inventory plan, and the creative team gets the assets. Questions about DRTV — what's running, when, what offer, performance — go to the Paid Media Lead.

Marketing · DRTV ownership & questions

DRTV strategy, buying, creative, and performance reporting all sit with the Paid Media Lead at Inventel. If you have a question about a Pizza Pack DRTV spot — whether it's running, what offer it carries, what the response has been, or whether to brief CX on inbound traffic — that's the right escalation. Don't loop in the broader Marketing team for DRTV-specific questions; route through Paid Media.

06 · Vision, Mission & Pillars

Vision, Mission & Brand Pillars

Vision

A kitchen where leftovers feel like a feature, not a problem — and where one smart container can replace half the cardboard going to landfill.

Mission

To make storing, reheating, and re-loving leftover pizza ridiculously easy — by building the simplest, smartest, most fun-to-use container on the market.

Brand · The pillars are the positioning

Every piece of marketing, packaging, and CX language should ladder up to one of the four pillars below. If a campaign idea or a product extension can't be tied to a pillar, it's probably off-brand. The pillars are how we keep the line tight as the SKU set grows beyond pizza into other food storage.

📐

Smart by Design

One simple shape solves a problem flat boxes have had for 60 years. Collapsible silicone, removable trays, snap-lock lid with vent — every detail is functional.

🍕

Made for Pizza, Loved by Pizza People

We don't sell a "food-storage container." We sell a Pizza Pack — built for the one food it serves best. That focus is the magic.

😄

Joyfully Useful

The product makes people laugh the first time they see it work. We lean into that joy in every ad, post, and unboxing.

♻️

Reusable Over Disposable

One Pizza Pack replaces hundreds of crushed cardboard boxes, foil packets, and ziplocs over its lifetime. Sustainability without lecturing.

07 · Voice & Tone

Brand Voice & Tone

Pizza Pack talks like the friend at the party who's a little too excited about a kitchen gadget — and you end up loving it because of them. We're enthusiastic, slightly irreverent, never corporate, never preachy. Pizza is fun. Our voice is fun. The product literally gets a laugh in the first 5 seconds; let the copy match.

Marketing — Voice Filter

Run every line through this filter: would someone screenshot this and send it to a friend? If the answer is "no, this sounds like a brand wrote it," rewrite. Avoid corporate words (utilize, leverage, optimize), avoid sustainability lectures, never oversell. The product is the joke; the copy is the setup.

1. Warm & Friendly
Like a friend texting back, not a brand replying.
"Hey! Thanks for the order — your Pizza Pack is officially en route to fix your fridge situation."
2. Empowering & Encouraging
Validates the universal pain point with a wink.
"You've been Tetris-ing pizza boxes into the fridge for years. We see you. There's a better way."
3. Knowledgeable, Not Overbearing
Confident on the design without getting nerdy.
"Five microwave-safe trays, snap-on airtight lid with vent, collapsible silicone body. We thought of the stuff so you don't have to."
4. Playful & Joyful
The product is funny by design — copy plays along.
"Fridge fight again? Yeah. We made the thing that ends that."
5. Passionate & Purpose-Driven
We're obsessive about pizza and the people who love it.
"Pizza is too good to waste, squish, or shove sideways into a Tupperware. So we built this."
6. Inclusive & Welcoming
Pizza is for everyone. Every household, every size, every topping.
"Whether you're a Friday-night-large-pep household or a sneak-cold-slice-at-midnight household, we got you."

Communication Do's & Don'ts

✅ Do

  • Lead with the problem the customer already has (squished slices, fridge chaos, soggy crust)
  • Use casual rhythm — short sentences, punchy hooks, jokes welcome
  • Show, don't tell — UGC, demo videos, real fridges, real slices
  • Lean into "as seen on Shark Tank" social proof for cold audiences
  • Talk like a friend — "you," "your fridge," "your slices"
  • Celebrate every way people love pizza, not just one

🚫 Don't

  • Make sustainability the lead — it's a benefit, not the pitch
  • Use technical/product-engineer language ("food-grade silicone polymer matrix")
  • Shame people for using cardboard boxes — that's literally everyone
  • Promise it works for every food as the headline (it works for many things, but pizza is the wedge)
  • Use stiff corporate words (utilize, facilitates, engineered solution)
  • Make health, weight-loss, or unverified food-safety claims

08 · Personality

Brand Personality & Adjectives

Direction: Bold · Joyful · Clever · Confidently single-purpose. Pizza Pack is the friend who turned one weird obsession into a great business — and made everyone laugh along the way.

Cheeky
A little sass, never mean. We poke fun at flat pizza boxes, not at people.
Practical
Every claim is the demo. Show the fridge, show the trays, show the stack.
Inventive
We took an obvious problem and built the obvious answer. That confidence shows up in the voice.
Crowd-Pleasing
Pizza connects everyone. Our brand sits at the kitchen counter, not at the kids' table.
Founder-Forward
Tate Koenig's Shark Tank story and the deal with Mark Cuban are part of the brand's texture and identity.
UGC-Native
The brand was made by the people who post about it. We talk like them, not at them.
Single-Purpose Confident
Yes, it's "just for pizza." That's exactly why it's better than every multi-purpose container.
Warmly Sustainable
Reusable as a smart-life upgrade, not a guilt trip. The earth gets a benefit; you get a tidy fridge.
Pop-Cultural
Pizza is in every TV scene, every late-night food moment. Our brand fits that energy.
Kitchen-Native
We live next to the microwave, not on the shelf with food-storage giants.

Creative · Color Usage Rules

Tomato Red is the hero. It dominates packaging, hero shots, primary buttons, hero overlays. Mozzarella Gold is for highlights and CTAs (don't use it as a background; it overpowers). Crust Tan and Pizza Box Cream are warm neutrals for backgrounds and supporting copy. Oven Char is for body text and dark-mode surfaces. Basil green is sparing — success states, sustainability messaging, fresh-ingredient photography accents only. Never use red and gold together at the same weight in the same composition (red wins, always — gold supports).

Creative · Typography Pairing Rules

The pairing is Bebas (display) + Fraunces (editorial) + Inter (body). Bebas does the loud, kitchen-sign, pizza-shop energy. Fraunces brings warmth and a slightly nostalgic, hand-drawn-pizza-menu feel. Inter keeps the body clean and modern so the brand doesn't get costumey. Never run Bebas and Fraunces in the same paragraph — pick one for the headline, let the other rest. Body is always Inter.

Logo Usage

Pizza Pack primary logo on light
Primary · on light surfaces
Pizza Pack reversed logo on dark
Reversed · on dark surfaces

Use cases. Primary (dark logo on light) is the default — packaging, retail signage, the website. Reversed (light logo on dark) goes on photography, dark navigation bars, T-shirts, and any black/red Pizza Pack moment. Maintain at least 1× the logo's height as clear space around it. Minimum size: 40px tall on screen, 0.5" tall in print. The brand uses the registered trademark ® on Pizza Pack, and on Pizza Plate.

Don't: distort the logo, recolor it outside the approved red/gold/black/white set, place it on a busy photo without a contrast plate, add drop shadows or outlines, or rebuild it in a different font. If you need a logo file, request from the Creative team — don't pull from Google.

Photography & Creative Direction

✅ Do

  • Real fridges, real kitchens, real slices — UGC-style is on-brand
  • Show the product in use: collapsing, expanding, stacking, opening, pulling a tray out
  • Hot pizza steam, melty cheese, golden crust hero shots
  • Hands in frame — relatable, human, not robotic flat-lays
  • Natural daylight or warm kitchen tungsten — not cold studio white
  • Bright tomato-red product against warm cream/wood backgrounds

🚫 Don't

  • Sterile studio white-box product shots as the hero
  • Hyper-stylized "luxury kitchenware" lifestyle shots — we're approachable
  • Photoshop pizza so it looks fake — burnt-edge real beats picture-perfect
  • Show the container empty as the hero — the slices are the magic
  • Cold blue tones — pizza is warm, our photography is warm

Overall visual feel: Saturday-night kitchen, warm light, real food, real hands. Think "your favorite pizzeria's Instagram" meets "the smart kitchen gadget your friend keeps texting you about."

10 · Audience

Target Audience & Customer Personas

General Customer Profile

Age: 22–55 · Gender skew: ~55% female / 45% male · HHI: $50K+ · Location: US-wide; strong in suburban and large-metro households (NY, NJ, CA, TX, IL, FL, OH) · Motivations: Solving the leftover-pizza fridge problem, gift-giving (housewarmings, dorm warmings, white elephant), Shark Tank fan curiosity, kitchen-gadget enthusiasts, sustainability-curious. Heavy overlap with TikTok shoppers, As-Seen-On-TV fans, Amazon "weird gadget" buyers, and households with kids or college-age members who order pizza regularly.

Family Friday Frank
Households With Kids · 38 · Phoenix, AZ
Orders 1–2 large pizzas every Friday for the family. Half the pie always survives, and it always takes up the whole top fridge shelf. Wife is over it. Saw the Pizza Pack on TikTok and thought "finally."
Focus: Family value, fridge space, microwave reheating, dishwasher-safe
Dorm Drew
College / Apartment · 21 · Columbus, OH
Mini-fridge real estate is sacred. Eats half a pizza tonight, the other half spread out across the next two days. Tired of squished slices and the dreaded sauce-on-the-crust slide. Bought after seeing it as a TikTok Shop ad.
Focus: Compact storage, gift-able, low price point, microwave-safe trays
Gift-Giver Gina
Birthday / Housewarming Gifter · 41 · Brooklyn, NY
The friend who finds the perfect "useful AND funny" gift. Sees the Pizza Pack as a guaranteed conversation piece for housewarmings, dorm move-ins, white elephants, and "my brother who ALWAYS has leftover pizza."
Focus: Gift packaging, themed bundles, shareability, "wow factor"
Shark Tank Sam
Trust-by-Provenance Buyer · 49 · St. Louis, MO
Loves Shark Tank, trusts products that got a Shark deal. Saw the episode, remembered the brand months later, finally got around to buying. Will tell every neighbor about the Cuban/Lori deal.
Focus: Shark Tank credibility, founder story, durability, "made it on TV"

Brand Archetype: The Jester (with shades of The Everyman)

Pizza Pack is The Jester — the brand that makes the moment fun. We turn a mundane kitchen frustration into a punchline and a product. Underneath the humor sits The Everyman: this isn't a luxury kitchen brand for design enthusiasts, it's the smart, friendly, accessible product for the household that just wants leftover pizza handled. The combination is why the brand goes viral — the joke makes you watch, the practicality makes you buy.

11 · Competitors

Competitors & Positioning

Pizza Pack competes in the specialty kitchen storage / single-purpose food gadget category — a niche slice of the $25B+ US kitchenware and storage market. Direct competition is thin (most "pizza storage" alternatives are generic Tupperware or stackable food containers, not pizza-purpose-built). The bigger fight is against the default behavior: people just shove the box in the fridge or use a ziploc.

CompetitorTypeKey ClaimPizza Pack's Differentiator
Generic stackable food containersMulti-purpose plastic (Rubbermaid, Snapware)Stack and store anythingPizza Pack is purpose-built — slice-shaped trays, collapsible body to fit slices specifically. Multi-purpose containers crush slices and waste space.
Cardboard pizza box (the default)Disposable"It's free with the pizza"Reusable, dishwasher-safe, ~70% smaller fridge footprint. One Pizza Pack replaces hundreds of boxes over its lifetime.
Ziplocs / aluminum foilSingle-use disposableCheap, flexibleSlices stay separated and structured. No sauce transfer, no soggy crust, microwave-safe straight from storage.
Off-brand silicone pizza containersPizza-specific copycats (Yuiisenn, OBNOCHE, etc. on Amazon)Similar concept, lower pricePizza Pack is the original — Shark Tank-vetted, branded, real customer support, real warranty. Knockoffs lack QA and don't carry the trademarked name.
Vacuum sealers (Foodsaver, etc.)Long-term food storageLocks freshness for daysPizza Pack is for next-day reheating, not long-term storage. Faster in, faster out, no extra equipment.

Positioning Statement

For households that order pizza and have a fridge, Pizza Pack is the purpose-built collapsible silicone container that stores up to 5 slices — saving roughly 70% of your fridge space, keeping every slice intact, and making leftover-night reheating effortless — because the cardboard box was never the answer.

Brand · Stay narrow on purpose

It's tempting to expand the positioning to "the universal stackable food storage." Resist. The brand's wedge is being made for pizza specifically. That focus is what made it viral, what makes it gift-able, and what makes it memorable. Other foods can be a footnote ("yes, it works for cookies and pancakes too") — never the headline.

Key Differentiators

  • Purpose-built for pizza: Slice-shaped trays, collapsible silicone body, snap-lock lid with vent — no other product has this exact form factor
  • Collapsible silicone = ~70% smaller fridge footprint vs. a flat pizza box, plus stores flat when empty
  • Microwave-safe trays: Reheat directly on the tray; no extra dishes
  • Dishwasher-safe + freezer-safe + BPA-free: Real food-safe, real reusable, real long-term
  • Shark Tank credibility: Cuban + Lori Greiner deal — instant trust signal
  • Gift-perfect: Useful + funny + universal — works for housewarmings, dorm moves, white elephant, birthdays
  • Pizza Plate accessory: Solves the "but microwaves make pizza soggy" objection — only Pizza Pack offers this paired solution
12 · Objection Handling

Customer Objection Handling

These are the recurring objections from cold ads, PDP visitors, and CX inquiries. Use these as battlecards — for paid ad responses, comment-section replies, CX templates, and sales conversations. The principle: acknowledge the concern, reframe with the design fact, end with proof.

CX · Use these verbatim or close to it

These responses are pre-approved by Brand and have been pressure-tested in DM replies. CX agents can lift them directly. If a customer asks something that's not on this list, route to the team lead before improvising — we don't want one-off claims becoming policy.

"I'll just keep using the pizza box."
Totally fair — but a flat pizza box eats half a fridge shelf and turns into a soggy cardboard situation by day two. Pizza Pack collapses to a fraction of the size, keeps slices intact, and the trays go straight to the microwave. One purchase, then never a cardboard fight in your fridge again.
"This is just a Tupperware."
It's actually pretty different. Tupperware is rigid, rectangular, and one big cavity — slices stack on each other and turn into a sauce sandwich. Pizza Pack has 5 individual microwave-safe trays for 5 separate slices, a collapsible silicone body that flexes to your slice count, and a snap-on airtight lid with an air vent. It's purpose-built for pizza.
"$18+ is a lot for a pizza container."
We hear it. But it replaces hundreds of crushed cardboard boxes, ziplocs, and tinfoil sheets over its lifetime — and saves you fridge real estate every single week. It's also dishwasher-safe and freezer-safe, so it earns its spot in your kitchen for years.
"Microwaved pizza always gets soggy."
Soggy reheats are why the Pizza Plate exists — it's our metal crisper tray that preheats in the microwave (30–60 sec) and crisps the bottom of the slice while the top reheats. Crispy crust from the microwave, no oven needed. It's also oven-safe up to 450°F and fits inside the Pizza Pack for storage.
"Will my pizza fit?"
Pizza Pack fits slices from pizzas up to 18 inches in diameter — that covers standard 12", large 14"–16", and most XL. If you're a New York-style giant-slice household, just trim a corner off the tip and you're set. The container itself collapses and expands, so 1 slice or 5 slices, it fits the volume.
"How is the silicone? Will it stain or smell?"
It's food-grade BPA-free silicone — odor-resistant and non-stick. Sauce, grease, and pepperoni oils don't soak in. Top-rack dishwasher cleans it fully between uses, and the silicone holds up to repeated collapsing, expanding, and washing for the long haul.
"Can I put it in the oven?"
The Pizza Pack body itself is microwave, freezer, and dishwasher safe — but not oven safe. For oven reheating, that's exactly why we made the Pizza Plate: oven-safe up to 450°F, slides under your slice, crisps the crust like a stone.
"What if it doesn't work for me?"
We offer a 30-day return window. If it doesn't earn its spot in your kitchen, reach out to support@pizzapack.com within 30 days and we'll get you a return authorization. (Customer covers return shipping; full details in our return policy.)
"How is this different from the knockoffs on Amazon?"
Pizza Pack is the original — pitched on Shark Tank Season 14, deal closed with Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner. We hold the registered trademark, design the product end-to-end, and back it with real US customer service and a real return policy. Knockoffs are cheaper because they skip QC, materials grade, and support.
"Where does it ship from?"
Every order ships from our warehouse in Pompton Plains, NJ. Standard ground delivery in the continental US runs 3–7 business days from order. Free shipping kicks in over a certain order total — the current threshold is shown live on pizzapack.com at the top banner.
"Is it BPA-free / food-safe?"
Yes. The Pizza Pack body and divider trays are made of food-grade silicone that's non-toxic, BPA-free, odorless, leak-proof, and non-stick. Microwave, freezer, and dishwasher safe.
"My slices are huge — will they really fit?"
If your slice fits in an 18" diameter outline, yes. New York giant slices sometimes need a 1-inch trim off the long tip. After the first use, customers usually figure out the trim move once and never think about it again.
13 · Customer Journey

Customer Journey & Lifecycle

The Pizza Pack lifecycle has six phases. Marketing, CX, and Brand each own different phases — knowing which phase a customer is in tells us which message and which channel matches.

PhaseCustomer StateTouchpointOwnerGoal
1. AwarenessSees an ad, a TikTok, or recalls Shark TankPaid social, organic UGC, As-Seen-On-TV bannersMarketingGenerate the "wait, what?" pause

4. OnboardingOrder placed, waiting on deliveryConfirmation email, shipping email, founder noteCX + BrandBuild anticipation; explain how to use the trays + lid vent
5. Use & DelightGot the product, first useUnboxing email, post-purchase TikTok prompts, UGC asksBrand + MarketingTrigger UGC posts; collect 5-star reviews
6. Repeat & AdvocateLoves it, gifts it, comes back for moreReplenishment emails, gift-bundle promos, themed dropsMarketing + CXDrive 2nd purchase (often as a gift), referrals
Marketing · The repeat purchase is usually a gift

Pizza Pack has a strong gift-out re-purchase loop: someone buys it for themselves, loves it, then buys 2–3 more as gifts (housewarmings, white elephant, birthdays). The themed bundles exist mostly to serve this loop. Lifecycle email campaigns should target the 60–90 day window after first purchase with gift-positioning copy, not "buy another one for yourself."

Marketing Angles & Hooks

The angles below define what we say (the message frame) and who we say it to. The hooks below define how we open a piece of content — what makes someone stop scrolling.

Strategic Messaging Angles

The Fridge-Space Liberation

Pain: Pizza box eats the whole shelf
Hook: "Take your fridge back from the pizza box"
Best for: Paid social, demo-style ads, before/after fridge content

The Shark Tank Trust Stamp

Pain: Skeptical of yet another "TikTok gadget"
Hook: "Cuban offered $1.5M for the whole company. Here's what got him."
Best for: Cold audience credibility, midfunnel retargeting, PR

The "Soggy Slice Syndrome" Solution

Pain: Microwave reheats turn pizza into rubber
Hook: "Microwaved pizza shouldn't taste like a wet sponge"
Best for: Pizza Plate cross-sell, pairing campaigns, "reheat upgrade"

The Funny-Yet-Useful Gift

Pain: Gifts are either funny or useful, rarely both
Hook: "The gift that gets a laugh AND gets used every weekend"
Best for: Q4 holiday, white-elephant content, housewarmings

The Reusable Swap

Pain: Foil, ziplocs, cardboard — endless single-use waste
Hook: "One Pizza Pack replaces 365 cardboard boxes a year."
Best for: Sustainability content, eco-leaning audiences (light-touch, never preachy)

The Founder Persistence Story

Pain: "Inventors give up too easy"
Hook: "The Shark Tank pitch where Mark Cuban offered $1.5M for the whole company."
Best for: PR, founder-led content, podcasts, business press

Top 10 Approved Hooks (Use These to Open Content)

  1. POV: You ordered a large. The box is in your fridge. Sideways. Again.
  2. This is the pizza container Mark Cuban offered $1.5M for.
  3. Stop shoving cardboard into your fridge. Watch this.
  4. Why is no one talking about Soggy Slice Syndrome?
  5. One Pizza Pack vs. 5 ziplocs vs. 3 sheets of foil. Watch.
  6. The kitchen gadget your friend will text you about within a week.
  7. Five slices. One container. Zero squish. Here's how.
  8. You either love this or you've never had leftover pizza in your life.
  9. Built by a guy who got rejected on Shark Tank, then came back and got a deal.
  10. Your fridge: before Pizza Pack 😬 → after Pizza Pack 🍕
Marketing · Hook variant testing

Run hooks 1, 2, and 4 against each other on cold paid social monthly — they pull different audiences (1 = household pain, 2 = Shark Tank fans, 4 = curiosity/feature). Hook 9 (founder persistence) is for podcast/PR pitches, not paid ads. Hook 10 (before/after) is the highest-CTR for retargeting and warm audiences.

16 · Sample Creatives

Sample Winning Creatives

Universal pattern across all Inventel brands. Looking at all our winning ads across SugarMD, Wild Earth, Pizza Pack, and Spark, here's what they all have in common — these patterns hit across very different categories (supplements, pet food, kitchen gadgets, beauty), which is why they're worth memorizing as a creative team. Brand-specific creative gets layered on top of these patterns; it doesn't replace them.
  1. Lead With the Pain PointThe first 1–3 seconds name the universal frustration the customer is already living. Don't lead with the product or the brand — lead with the moment of friction the audience already feels.
  2. Show the Product in Action, FastWithin the first 5 seconds, the product is visible doing the thing. No long product reveals, no slow logo intros. Demonstration is the proof.
  3. Real People, Real SettingsUGC-style outperforms studio-polished work. Real kitchens, real fridges, real hands, real reactions. The closer it looks to a friend's TikTok, the better it performs.
  4. Specific Numbers & OutcomesConcrete claims ("5 slices," "18 inches," "~70% less fridge space," "30-day returns") outperform vague benefits. Specificity is credibility.
  5. Social Proof + Authority Trust StampsReviews, customer counts, press logos, "As Seen on Shark Tank"-type credibility markers. The audience needs an external endorsement before they'll trust the demo.
  6. Clear, Single-Action CTAOne CTA per asset. "Shop the Pizza Pack" · "See it in action" · "Get 15% off your first." Multiple CTAs split intent and tank conversion. Pick one.
The through-line: real problem → real demo → real proof → one clear next step. Every winning ad we've ever run, regardless of brand, lives inside that frame. Brand-specific tone, language, and visual identity layer on top — but the structure is universal.

Pizza Pack — Top-Performing Examples

Creative · Asset library access

All approved Pizza Pack creative assets, founder b-roll, lifestyle photography, retail-shelf shots, and editable templates live in the Inventel shared brand drive under /Pizza Pack/Creative/. New hires on the Creative team should request access from the Creative Director on day one. Don't pull product images off the public website for paid ad work — request the high-res original from the asset library.

Marketing · What's worked, what's flopped

UGC reaction-style content has been the strongest paid format for cold acquisition over the last 12 months. Long-form "founder talking head" ads underperform on cold but win on retargeting and lookalike audiences. Avoid "life hack" framing — Pizza Pack is a product, not a hack, and that framing has tested poorly with the As-Seen-On-TV audience. Lean into Shark Tank credibility, not life-hack tropes.

New Hire · How to recognize on-brand creative

A creative is on-brand if (1) the pain is named in the first 3 seconds, (2) the demo is visible by second 5, (3) the setting is a real-feeling kitchen or fridge, (4) the copy uses casual rhythm (not corporate), and (5) there's exactly one CTA. If a creative misses any of those, send it back to revisions before approving.

17 · Social & Digital

18 · Partnerships

Partnerships & Influencer Guidelines

Ideal Brand Ambassador Profile

The Pizza Pack creator we want is relatable, not aspirational. Real kitchens beat marble countertops. Followers should feel like they're getting a tip from a friend, not watching a polished influencer ad.

  • Audience type: Food, kitchen-gadget, lifestyle, parenting, college-life, home-organization niches
  • Follower range: 10K–500K is the sweet spot. Micro and mid-tier creators outperform mega-influencers on this product
  • Aesthetic: Warm, kitchen-real, hand-shot. Not over-edited, not stylist-driven
  • Values: Family, food joy, practical-life-hack mindset. Pizza-positive (no anti-carb / diet-shaming)
  • Engagement: Comments full of real questions ("does it really fit?") — that's a high-intent audience

Partner Selection — Do's & Don'ts

✅ Do

  • Pick creators whose comments are genuinely engaged (real questions, not just emoji)
  • Prioritize creators who already post about kitchen, food, organization
  • Run a mix of micro (10–50K) and mid (50–250K) — micro converts, mid drives reach
  • Send the product first, ask for honest content second
  • Encourage creators to use their own voice — "script everything" kills authenticity

🚫 Don't

  • Partner with creators who post diet-culture / restrictive-eating content
  • Pay for follower-count without checking engagement quality
  • Force a script — over-controlled content underperforms on TikTok and Reels
  • Skip the FTC disclosure check — every paid post needs #ad or #sponsored
  • Promise free products in exchange for guaranteed positive reviews — this is an FTC violation

Partner Content Guidelines

What to PostWhat to Avoid
Real fridge demos · before/after · honest first impressionsStaged kitchens that look fake
The trays going from fridge to microwave · the snap lid · the collapseHeavy-handed product slogans
Their actual leftover pizza going in (any topping)Diet/wellness framing for the product
The Shark Tank story (briefly) for credibilityInventing claims about "medical-grade" or "health benefits"
Tag @pizzapack + use #PizzaPackOver-hashtagging beyond our core set

FTC Disclosure (Always Required)

Any paid or gifted partnership must include #ad, #sponsored, or #PizzaPackPartner visibly in the caption (within the first 1–2 lines, not buried under a fold). This is non-negotiable per FTC guidelines and protects both Pizza Pack and the creator. If a creator pushes back on disclosure, do not run the partnership.

Submission & Contact

Influencer and partnership inquiries: email support@pizzapack.com with subject line "Influencer / Partnership Inquiry". Include rate card, audience demographics, sample content, and a media kit.

19 · Discounts

Discounts & Promo Codes

Discounts at Pizza Pack come in several distinct formats — promo codes, full-site flips, banner/automatic discounts, bundle / cart-threshold discounts, subscription discounts, and new-customer discounts. Each department issues its own codes for its own channels, codes have different expiration windows, and the active set rotates constantly. Anyone honoring a discount needs to verify it's actually live before applying it.

🚨 Critical · Always check the monthly discount sheet first

The monthly discount sheet (in the internal PM tool) is the single source of truth for what's active, who owns it, expiration, and usage limits. YOU MUST verify on the sheet before quoting, honoring, or applying any code. If a code isn't on the sheet, assume it's expired or wasn't issued by us — escalate to the owning department. Memorized codes, codes from old emails, codes a customer claims they got from a creator — none of those count. The sheet counts.

New customer discountFirst-order-only offer to acquire new buyers — typically evergreenVia welcome email, popup signup, or paid-ad landing page"X% off your first order" via email-capture popup

Evergreen vs. Time-Bound Offers

Most limited-time promos and full-site flips rotate on the monthly sheet — Black Friday, Pizza Month October, Q1 reset, etc. But subscription discounts and new-customer discounts are usually evergreen — always on, not tied to a calendar window. They still belong on the monthly sheet so everyone knows the exact rate, but you can assume they're live unless the sheet flags otherwise. This matters for CX: "is your first-order discount still available" is almost always yes.

Who Owns Which Codes

Email (Marketing)Welcome flow, win-back, broadcast promosEmail subject line + bodySingle-use per email; tied to subscriber email; CX can verify in Klaviyo profile

Retention / SubscriptionSubscribe & Save evergreen, win-back-the-cancellerAuto-applied at subscription signupEvergreen; verify rate on sheet quarterly
CX · Discount Handling

Always verify on the monthly discount sheet before honoring a code. If the code is expired but the customer has a reasonable ask, use a CX-issued goodwill code from the current month's CX allocation — don't invent one or extend someone else's expired campaign. Document the goodwill code use in the CX log so we can track allocation burn rate.

Marketing · Code Governance

Every new code lands on the monthly discount sheet before going live. Required fields: owner, channel, type, value, start/end timestamps, single-use vs. multi-use, attribution tag. Codes not on the sheet won't be honored by CX — that's the rule, not a guideline. If you launch a code without sheeting it, expect CX to ping the team.

New Hire · Where to Find the Sheet

The monthly discount sheet lives in the internal PM tool. Ask your manager or post in #discounts on day one if you can't find it. Treat anything older than the current month as stale — last month's sheet is for record only, not for active codes.

Rule of thumb: If a code didn't come from the monthly sheet, it doesn't exist for the purpose of this transaction. Escalate rather than improvise.

SEO Do's & Don'ts

✅ Do

  • Write for humans first — Google's AI is good enough to penalize keyword-stuffed garbage
  • Build topic clusters around themes (one pillar post + 4–6 supporting posts on subtopics)
  • Update old blog content with new info, fresh links, current year — don't just publish new
  • Use descriptive URLs (/products/red-pizza-pack, not /p?id=8473)
  • Unique meta title + description on every PDP and blog post
  • Monitor rankings monthly in Google Search Console — track which queries drive clicks
  • Optimize for AI search engines (Perplexity, ChatGPT) — clear answer structure, FAQs, schema

🚫 Don't

  • Keyword-stuff product descriptions or alt text
  • Buy backlinks — Google catches these and the penalty hurts long-term rankings
  • Use the same meta description across multiple SKUs (duplicate content penalty)
  • Publish thin content (under 500 words, no real value)
  • Roll out a redesign without checking that noindex tags weren't accidentally enabled
  • Ignore AI search — that channel is growing fast and rewards FAQ-style structured content
Marketing · Content Calendar

Every blog piece must ladder to a priority keyword theme and have an internal-link plan to product pages. Content with no keyword target and no CTA is a nice-to-read, not an SEO asset. Review the content calendar monthly against the priority themes above and reallocate if a theme isn't being served.

Creative · Image Optimization

Compress images before handoff — WebP or compressed JPG/PNG, under 200KB for hero images. Use descriptive file names (red-pizza-pack-hero.jpg, not IMG_2847.JPG). Alt text supplied with the asset, not added by Web Dev as an afterthought. Slow images kill Core Web Vitals which kills rankings.

Tracking: Google Search Console is the primary source of truth for organic performance. Ahrefs or Semrush handle competitive and backlink work. Monthly review cadence owned by Marketing.

21 · CRO

CRO (Conversion Rate Optimization)

CRO is conversion rate optimization — turning more of the traffic we already have into paying customers. Driving more traffic is expensive; converting visitors we've already paid to acquire is cheaper per dollar of revenue. A site at 3% conversion prints twice as much as the same site at 1.5%.

The Pizza Pack Funnel

  1. Landing / Home — Does the hero communicate what this is in under 3 seconds? Pizza Pack in fridge, slices visible, "The smarter way to store leftover pizza" tagline. If a visitor doesn't get the product in 3 seconds, they bounce.
  2. Product page (PDP) — Benefits above the fold? Top concerns (will it fit my pizza, is it microwave-safe) addressed in the first scroll? Reviews and Shark Tank stamp visible without scrolling forever?
  3. Add to cart — One-click add. Shipping cost visibility. Cross-sell suggestion (Pizza Plate, themed bundle upgrade) — soft, not pushy.
  4. Cart — Clear subtotal, free-shipping progress bar (current threshold pulled from the live banner), easy quantity edits, subscription prompt if/when enabled.
  5. Checkout — Shopify standard checkout. Guest checkout allowed. Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay visible. As few input steps as Shopify allows.
  6. Post-purchase — Thank-you page upsell (Pizza Plate · Extra Trays · second-color Pizza Pack). Subscription confirmation if applicable. Clear "what happens next" — confirmation email, shipping ETA, tracking promise.

Mobile optimization~70% of Pizza Pack traffic is mobileSticky add-to-cart on mobile PDP; swipeable image gallery; thumb-zone CTAs

How to Run a CRO Test

  1. Start with a hypothesis, not a hunch. "If we add a sticky add-to-cart on mobile, conversion will rise by ≥5% because thumb-zone access reduces friction."
  2. Pick one variable. Don't change three things at once — you won't know what worked.
  3. Calculate sample size up front. If your traffic can't reach significance in a reasonable window, the test is under-powered before it starts.
  4. Run at least one full week cycle. Weekday/weekend behavior differs; one Friday isn't a test.
  5. Look at downstream metrics. A higher add-to-cart rate that crashes checkout completion is not a win.
  6. Document the result. Win, loss, or inconclusive — log it. Today's loss is tomorrow's hypothesis.
Marketing · Test Prioritization

Use an impact-vs-effort filter. High-impact, low-effort tests run first — copy tweaks, button placement, badge additions. High-impact, high-effort tests are quarterly bets (full PDP redesign, checkout flow rework). Low-impact anything = skip. One high-quality test per month beats five half-baked ones.

Creative · Design for the Fold

Everything above the fold on a PDP must answer: What is this? Who is it for? Why should I trust it? If any of those isn't clear in a 3-second glance, the page underperforms regardless of how much traffic you push to it. Test the fold by squinting — if you can't tell what it does in your peripheral vision, simplify.

New Hire · Watch a Real Session

The fastest way to learn CRO on Pizza Pack is to watch session recordings (Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity, or whatever tool the team currently uses). Sit through 10 mobile sessions end-to-end. You'll notice friction points that aggregate analytics will never show — like the pinch-zoom-on-tray-image moment, or where users get stuck on quantity selectors.

Primary metrics: conversion rate (sessions → orders), AOV, cart abandonment rate, subscription take rate (if/when enabled), mobile conversion rate. Owned by Marketing/Growth with Creative and Web Dev as collaborators. Monthly review; quarterly deep-dive with leadership.

22 · Glossary

Glossary

Pizza Pack-specific terms, accessory names, brand vocabulary, and operational acronyms a new hire might not recognize. When in doubt, use these terms in customer-facing copy — it keeps voice consistent.

Pizza Pack®
The flagship product — collapsible silicone pizza-slice container with 5 microwave-safe divider trays and a snap-on airtight lid with optional air vent. Always written as two words, capitalized. Trademark registered.
Pizza Plate™
The metal crisper-tray accessory. Reusable metal tray with a cool-touch silicone edge that preheats in the microwave (30–60 sec) or oven (up to 450°F) to crisp the bottom of a reheated slice. Fits inside a Pizza Pack for storage.
Soggy Slice Syndrome
Pizza Pack's branded name for the universal frustration of sad, soggy reheated leftover pizza. The Pizza Pack's lid air vent and the Pizza Plate accessory both exist to prevent it. Use this exact phrase in copy.
Themed Bundle
A multi-color set of Pizza Packs — e.g., Pepperoni & Cheese (Red + Yellow), Pepperoni & Veggie (Red + Green), Party Pack. Sold at a bundle savings vs. buying singles.
Multipack
A pack of multiple Pizza Packs in the same color at a tiered discount (2-pack, 3-pack, 4-pack — the more they buy, the bigger the discount). Different from a themed bundle, which mixes colors. A single Pizza Pack on its own is just a single, not a multipack.
Divider Tray
The 5 microwave-safe trays included inside every Pizza Pack. Each tray holds one slice; trays double as plates for reheating. Sold standalone as the "Extra Trays — 5 Pack."
Snap-On Airtight Lid
The Pizza Pack lid — vacuum-style seal to keep slices fresh longer. Includes an optional air vent that the customer can open to reduce condensation.
Air Vent
The small openable vent in the snap-on lid. Open it to release condensation when storing warm pizza or reheating; close it for fridge storage of cold pizza.
Collapsible Silicone Body
The accordion-style silicone Pizza Pack body that expands to hold slices and collapses flat when empty. The defining feature of the product.
Reseller / Custom Lid Program
Pizza Pack's B2B offering — pizzerias and food brands can order Pizza Packs with their logo or business info printed on the lid. Routed through the Partnerships team via support@pizzapack.com.
Shark Tank S14
The Season 14 premiere of Shark Tank (2022), in front of a live audience, where founder Tate Koenig pitched Pizza Pack. The episode is the brand's most powerful credibility marker. A deal closed with Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner.
$1.5M Cuban Offer
Mark Cuban's offer on Shark Tank S14 to acquire the entire Pizza Pack company for $1.5M (after Tate's $5M valuation ask). Cited regularly in PR and ad copy as a credibility moment.
Inventel
The parent company that owns and operates Pizza Pack. All Inventel-owned brands run fulfillment, CX, marketing, and web through Inventel's NJ-based teams. Pizza Pack is an in-house Inventel brand, not an external client.
RA / RMA
Return Authorization / Return Merchandise Authorization — the unique ID a customer must obtain from CX before returning any Pizza Pack product. Without an RA number, returned product can't be processed at the warehouse.
Pompton Plains Warehouse
The Inventel warehouse at 240 West Parkway, Middle Door, Pompton Plains, NJ 07444 — where every Pizza Pack outbound order is picked, packed, and shipped from, and where every Pizza Pack return is sent back to.
Rockaway Office
The Inventel office at 200 Forge Way, Unit 1, Rockaway, NJ 07866 — the recommended shipping address for test orders. Ensures a test that slips through arrives at our own door.
Test Order Rule
The mandatory Inventel rule that every test order placed on pizzapack.com must use "Test Order" as the first name and the placer's own name as the last name. Non-negotiable across every team.
Evergreen Offer
A discount or promotion that is always on — not tied to a calendar window or short-term campaign. The most common examples are the Subscribe & Save discount (ongoing % off for subscribing) and the New Customer discount (one-time % or dollar amount off a first order, usually captured via email signup). Evergreen offers still appear on the monthly discount sheet so everyone knows the exact rate, but unlike seasonal or flash promos, you can assume they're live unless the sheet flags otherwise.
Monthly Discount Sheet
The single source of truth for every active discount code — kept in the internal PM tool. CX, Marketing, and Retention all add and verify codes here. If a code isn't on the sheet, it doesn't exist for the purpose of any transaction.
Pizza Month / National Pizza Month
October. Industry-wide pizza-promotion peak, and Pizza Pack's biggest sales month outside Q4 holiday. Also the window for the Pink Pizza Pack breast-cancer cause initiative.
Pink Pizza Pack
The pink Pizza Pack SKU, prominently featured during October's Breast Cancer Awareness Month. A portion of pink Pizza Pack sales is donated to breast cancer research.
23 · Returns

Return Policy

Pizza Pack's published return policy is reproduced verbatim below — this is what's on pizzapack.com/policies/refund-policy and what customers see and agree to at checkout. That published policy is the source of truth for every return conversation. The CX guidance further down the page tells you how to apply it on calls, what to quote up front, and when to escalate.

Pizza Pack Return Policy (verbatim from pizzapack.com)

30-Day return policy (note: some exceptions may apply*).

All returns are subject to processing and handling fees which vary depending on your original order. If you decide to cancel or return your order, you will be responsible for the cost of return shipping.

For return information, please call customer service at +1 888-846-2977 between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Monday to Friday, EST, or email us at support@pizzapack.com to get a return authorization number & return-to address.

Due to health and sanitary reasons, we cannot accept anything back that has been in direct contact with a human's body (i.e. apparel, masks, beauty products).

How CX Should Handle Pizza Pack Returns

The published policy above is what we honor. The notes below are how to operate it on a call — what to quote up front, where the deductions come from, and how to keep the experience friendly.

CX · Return Authorization is mandatory

No RA number, no refund. Period. If a customer ships product back without a Return Authorization number written clearly on the outside of the package, the warehouse can't tie it to an order — it sits unprocessed. Always issue and confirm the RA number before the customer ships anything. Repeat the RA number twice on the call and follow up with an email confirmation that also includes the return-to address.

CX · Customer pays return shipping

The published policy says it plainly: customer is responsible for the cost of return shipping. If the customer asks us to send a prepaid label as a courtesy, we can — but the cost of that label is deducted from the refund amount. Always quote this up front: "Sure, we can send a prepaid label, but the label cost will be deducted from your refund. Most customers prefer to ship with their own carrier." The exception is confirmed defects or damage in transit — those we cover.

CX · Processing & handling fees apply

Per the published policy, all returns are subject to processing and handling fees that vary by original order. Don't quote a fee from memory — pull it from the order in Shopify or escalate to the CX Fulfillment Supervisor for confirmation. Then quote it to the customer before they ship anything back, alongside the return shipping cost note. Customers handle the fee much better when it's stated up front than when they see a smaller-than-expected refund land days later.

CX · Original shipping is not refunded

When a customer paid for shipping on the original order, that shipping charge is not refunded — only product cost (minus any processing/handling fee and minus any prepaid-label deduction). Make this explicit before processing so the customer doesn't expect a higher refund: "Just to confirm, your refund will be the product cost minus the processing fee. The original shipping charge isn't refundable on returns." Saves a callback later.

CX · "Some exceptions may apply"

The published policy hedges with "some exceptions may apply." In practice that's the health/sanitary clause (no returns of items in direct contact with a human's body — apparel, masks, beauty products), plus customized items (custom-printed wholesale lids are non-returnable). For Pizza Pack core SKUs, the standard 30-day window applies. If anything else looks like an exception case, escalate to the CX Fulfillment Supervisor before promising the customer a path.

New Hire · Quick refund-math example

Customer paid $23 product + $7 shipping = $30 total. They want to return the product within 30 days and ship it back themselves. The order's processing/handling fee (per Shopify) is $3. Refund = $23 − $3 = $20. The original $7 shipping stays with us. If we'd also sent a prepaid return label that cost $5, the refund would be $23 − $3 − $5 = $15. Always walk the customer through the math up front; surprises become callbacks. Pull the actual processing/handling fee from the order — don't estimate it.

CX Contact

Email: support@pizzapack.com
Phone: 888-846-2977
Hours: 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM ET, Mon–Fri · Response window: within 24 business hours
CX · Tone on returns

Lead with empathy, not policy. "I'm sorry it didn't work out for you — let's get this handled" lands a lot better than "per our return policy." The product is funny and joyful in marketing; the CX experience should match. We almost always end up with a happy outcome on returns.

24 · Fulfillment

Fulfillment & Shipping

All Pizza Pack orders — outbound and returns — flow through the Inventel warehouse in Pompton Plains, NJ. Pizza Pack does not run separate fulfillment; Inventel handles pick, pack, ship, and returns across the brand portfolio. Shipping rules below apply to every Pizza Pack order placed on pizzapack.com.

Inventel Warehouse — Outbound + Returns (every Pizza Pack order) Inventel Warehouse
240 West Parkway
Middle Door
Pompton Plains, NJ 07444

How Orders Flow

  1. Customer places order. Order placed on pizzapack.com (Shopify) or via a retail / marketplace channel.
  2. CX Fulfillment prints label. The CX Fulfillment team prints the shipping label. There is a short window between label print and warehouse release during which an order can still be cancelled or edited — move fast on cancel/change requests.
  3. Warehouse picks & ships. Label goes to the Pompton Plains warehouse team, who pick, pack, and ship the order. After this step the order is locked — post-ship, the only path is a return.
  4. Ground transit. Standard ground shipping from Pompton Plains, NJ. Continental US transit typically 3–7 business days.
  5. Returns flow back. Approved returns ship back to the same Pompton Plains warehouse address. CX provides the RMA number; customer ships at their cost (unless defect).
⚠️ Cancellation / Edit Window The window between label print and warehouse pick is short — sometimes hours, sometimes minutes during peak. Move immediately on customer cancel or change requests. After the warehouse picks the order, the only option is to wait for delivery and process a return.

InternationalOutside USVariesPizza Pack does ship internationally. Customer pays all shipping charges. For rates, restrictions, or specific country availability, escalate to the CX Fulfillment Supervisor.
CX · Quote business-day windows

When quoting transit, always say "business days from the day your order ships" — not from order date. Customers conflate the two and end up disappointed when the order ships next-day. "Your order ships from our New Jersey warehouse, and once it ships, ground transit to your area is typically [3–7] business days." That phrasing prevents the most common shipping callback.

CX · Free-shipping threshold lookup

The free-shipping threshold rotates with marketing promotions and isn't fixed in this hub on purpose. Always pull the current threshold from the live site banner on pizzapack.com before quoting it to a customer. If the banner shows a different number than what's in the discount sheet, escalate to Marketing — don't guess.

25 · Test Orders

Test Orders

Test orders happen across every team — Marketing testing a code, Engineering testing checkout, CX testing a refund flow, QA verifying a fulfillment edge case. The rules below ensure that test orders do not get picked, packed, and shipped to a real address with real inventory. Every team at Inventel follows them — zero exceptions.

🚨 Mandatory · Stop · Read this before you check out

YOU MUST type "Test Order" in the First Name field at checkout, and your own name as the Last Name. This is non-negotiable. It's the single trigger the Pompton Plains warehouse uses to catch live test orders before they ship. An order without "Test Order" in the first-name field is treated as a real customer order — it will be picked, packed, and go out the door with real Pizza Pack inventory to a real address. Every team at Inventel (CX, Marketing, Creative, Engineering, QA, Brand) follows this rule with zero exceptions.

Step-by-Step Test Order Procedure

  1. First Name: Test Order (exactly — capital T, capital O, space between). The warehouse scans the first-name field; nothing else triggers the catch.
  2. Last Name: Your own name (so the team knows who placed it).
  3. Shipping address: Anything works, but the easiest option is the Inventel Office in Rockaway, NJ (address below) — if the order slips through the "Test Order" filter, it arrives at our own door and can be intercepted.
  4. Phone / email / payment: Any valid info. Use internal test cards where available.
  5. Immediately after checkout: Send a direct message to the CX Fulfillment Lead on Google Chat (currently Aseef Khan — always confirm current lead; reference the role, not the name).
  6. In that message, include: order number or confirmation detail, when the order can be refunded or cancelled, and whether anything else needs to be confirmed first (promo code redeemed, subscription created, inventory decrement, color-variant logic verified, etc.).
  7. Wait for the confirmation reply that the order is located, on hold, and cancelled/refunded. Only then is the test complete.
Inventel Office — Recommended Test Order Shipping Address Inventel Office
200 Forge Way
Unit 1
Rockaway, NJ 07866

Why the office address? Any test order that gets past the "Test Order" first-name flag and ships anyway arrives at our own building and can be intercepted — much easier than chasing a package down a real street address. Personal home addresses should be avoided for exactly this reason.

CX Fulfillment · What to include in your Google Chat message
  1. "I just placed a test order on pizzapack.com"
  2. Order confirmation number or timestamp
  3. What you were testing (promo code, color variant, subscription flow, etc.)
  4. When the order can be cancelled or refunded — immediately, or only after a specific step is verified

What NOT to Do

  • Don't use a real customer-sounding first name. "Test Order" is the signal — anything else and the warehouse picks it.
  • Don't skip the Google Chat notification. Silent test orders mean no one knows to put them on hold — and the order will likely ship.
  • Don't use a personal home address — use the Inventel Office at 200 Forge Way.
  • Don't use live/production loyalty accounts unless that's what's specifically being tested.
  • Don't close out the test until you get confirmation from the Fulfillment Lead that the order is held and cancelled.

Note on naming the Fulfillment Lead: Per the v3 escalation rule, contacts in this hub are listed by department and role, not by individual name. Personnel change; the role doesn't. Always reference "the CX Fulfillment Lead (currently [name])" rather than leading with the name.

26 · Shopify Platform

Shopify Platform

pizzapack.com is a Shopify store. Browsing, checkout, subscriptions, discount codes, customer accounts, and order tracking all run on Shopify. Knowing this up front saves confusion because many "how do I…" questions have the same answer: "it's a standard Shopify feature."

What Shopify Means for Day-to-Day CX

AreaPowered by ShopifyWhy It Matters for CX
Storefront & checkoutEvery product page, cart, checkout, payment processingOutages or checkout issues are often platform-wide — check shopifystatus.com before escalating
Customer accountsLogin, password resets, order history, saved addressesCustomers reset their own password via email link — we can't read or set passwords
Order managementOrder numbers, fulfillment status, tracking emailsOrder numbers are the universal lookup key — ask for one first
Discount codesPromo codes, automatic discounts, free-shipping thresholdsCodes are single-use or multi-use depending on setup — Marketing owns the code list (see Discounts section)
SubscriptionsUsually a Shopify app (Recharge, Skio, or native Shopify Subscriptions)If/when subscriptions are enabled on a Pizza Pack SKU, the customer self-serves skip/pause/cancel from their account portal
Email notificationsOrder confirmation, shipping, delivery, refundAutomated — if a customer didn't get one, check spam first, then verify email on file
RefundsProcessed through Shopify admin, back to original payment methodRefunds typically show in 5–10 business days depending on bank

URLs CX Should Recognize

CX · Security reminder — never collect passwords or card info

Because pizzapack.com runs on Shopify, CX never handles passwords or payment card info directly. Password resets always go through the self-serve email flow at pizzapack.com/account/login. Payment updates are done by the customer in their portal. Redirect, don't collect.

When to Escalate a Shopify-Related Issue

  • Site down / checkout failing for multiple customers → Web Dev Team + check Shopify Status first
  • Discount code not working as intended → Marketing (they own the code config; verify code exists on the monthly discount sheet first)
  • Subscription won't cancel / customer can't access portal → CX Supervisor (admin access to subscription app)
  • Missing order confirmation email → verify email address on file, check Shopify order record for send status, then escalate to Web Dev Team
  • Refund not appearing after 10 business days → pull Shopify refund transaction ID, escalate to CX Fulfillment Supervisor
27 · FAQ

FAQ

The most common customer questions across CX and PDP support. CX agents can lift these answers directly into replies.

Is the Pizza Pack microwave-safe?
Yes — both the silicone body and the divider trays are microwave-safe. Reheat slices directly on the divider tray without transferring to another plate. For a crispier reheated crust, use the Pizza Plate accessory (preheat 30–60 sec, then place the slice on it).
Is it freezer-safe?
Yes. The food-grade silicone body and divider trays are rated freezer-safe by the brand. Customers commonly freeze leftover slices in the Pizza Pack for 1–2 months.
Is it dishwasher-safe?
Yes — top rack recommended. The silicone is non-stick and odor-resistant, so sauce and grease wash out fully. Hand wash also works.
Can I put it in the oven?
No — the Pizza Pack body is not oven-safe. For oven reheating, use the Pizza Plate accessory (oven-safe up to 450°F, not broiler-safe).
What size pizza fits?
Slices from pizzas up to 18 inches in diameter. That covers standard, large, and most XL. NY-style giant slices may need a 1-inch trim off the long tip.
How many slices does it hold?
The container is designed for up to 5 slices, one per divider tray. Many customers fit 5–8 thinner or smaller slices by stacking carefully. The collapsible body adjusts to your slice count.
Is it BPA-free?
Yes. The body and divider trays are made of food-grade BPA-free silicone — non-toxic, odorless, leak-proof, non-stick.
What's the difference between the Pizza Pack and the themed bundles?
A single Pizza Pack is one container in one color. Themed bundles are multi-color sets — e.g., Pepperoni & Cheese (Red + Yellow), Pepperoni & Veggie (Red + Green), Party Pack. Same product, different color combos at a bundle price. Multipacks are multiple containers in the same color (2-pack, 3-pack, etc.). Bundles save vs. buying singles.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes — Pizza Pack does ship internationally. The customer is responsible for all shipping charges (no subsidized or free international shipping). For specific countries, rates, or customs details, reach out to the CX Fulfillment Supervisor for the latest information. Domestic: continental US ships 3–7 business days from our NJ warehouse. Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and US territories are case-by-case — contact CX.
How long does shipping take?
Standard ground from our NJ warehouse runs 3–7 business days in the continental US. East Coast is faster (2–3 days), West Coast is longer (4–6 days). Delivery is from the day your order ships, not order date.
Was Pizza Pack on Shark Tank?
Yes — the Season 14 premiere (2022), pitched by founder Tate Koenig in front of a live audience. Mark Cuban famously offered $1.5M for the entire company. A deal closed with Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner.
Who owns Pizza Pack?
Pizza Pack is part of the Inventel brand portfolio — Inventel handles fulfillment, customer service, and operations across its in-house brands. Pizza Pack continues to grow as an Inventel-owned brand.
What's your return policy?
30 days from delivery (some exceptions apply). Customer is responsible for return shipping cost. All returns are subject to processing and handling fees that vary by original order. Items in direct contact with a human's body (apparel, masks, beauty products) cannot be returned for health/sanitary reasons. Contact support@pizzapack.com or call 888-846-2977 for a Return Authorization (RA) number and the return-to address — do not ship returns without one.
What does the Pink Pizza Pack support?
A portion of pink Pizza Pack sales goes to breast cancer research — featured each October during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Do you offer custom-printed lids for businesses?
Yes — Pizza Pack runs a reseller / wholesale program with custom-printed lid options for pizzerias, restaurants, and food businesses. This is not a standard DTC SKU and is handled on a separate wholesale site, not through DTC customer service. Direct B2B inquiries to pizzapackwholesale.com or the dedicated wholesale voicemail line at +1 (973) 273-4120. Wholesale pricing, lead times, custom-lid options, and reseller terms are all set on the wholesale side.
