Leave it to Apple, that obsessively fastidious brain trust from leafy Cupertino, to leave no edgy design stone unturned as the company begins moving into its new spaceship-shaped campus.

In fact, let’s call it pizza-pie-shaped campus, shall we? Related Articles Watch: Apple campus construction

Yes, Apple is now officially focused like a laser-beam on pizza, and, more specifically, how to transport those personal-sized pies from the cafeterias at the new Apple Park to the work stations housing its ambitious eat-at-our-desk employees.

After getting a sneak peek of the new campus, Wired magazine this morning published some cool details about the structure, including sliding glass doors that weigh 440,000 pounds each and 9,000 trees that co-founder Steve Jobs saw as a way to restore a piece of Silicon Valley to the Valley of Heart’s Delight as this region used to be known.

Enter, a patented pizza box.

The big bit of innovation in the circular box, which was designed in part by Francesco Longoni, head of Apple’s food services team, is the cutting-edge sogginess-prevention feature: a series of eight small holes which allow the hot air in the box to escape and therefore not turn the pizza into a wet rag of mushy dough.

The box has a ruffled bottom, which also helps prevent the pie from going, well, limp. Check out this language from the original patent application. And, no, we are not making this up!

“(I)n order to prevent moisture from being trapped beneath the pizza rendering the pizza soggy, selected portions of an interior surface of a base of the container can be elevated to provide a support platform. In one embodiment, the elevated portion can take the form of concentric rings that elevate the pizza from the bottom surface of the container. Elevating the pizza from the bottom surface ensures that any steam that is emitted from the bottom of the pizza can flow away from the bottom of the pizza. Allowing such steam to flow away from the bottom of the pizza prevents moisture from becoming trapped between the pizza and the bottom surface of the container and subsequently reabsorbed by the pizza causing it to get soggy.”

Wired points out that the patent for the box was also published in 2012 and filed in 2010, which means Apple has applied a considerable amount of brain power getting its pie-transport device just right. Various blogs have reported that Apple has already been using these boxes at its headquarters at One Infinite Loop.

The magazine also included a quote from Jony Ive, Apple’s design guru, that comes right after the description of the so-called Special Box. “It’s not clear whether he’s actually referring to the Special Box,” wrote one blogger, “but we dearly hope he is:”

“We’re amortizing this in an entirely different way,” Ive says. “We don’t measure this in terms of numbers of people. We think about it in terms of the future. The goal was to create an experience and an environment that felt like a reflection of who we are as a company. This is our home, and everything we make in the future is going to start here.”

And for one more peek at the box, here’s what the Guardian came across on Twitter in 2013, two years after Steve Jobs’ death. Note: The box has apparently been signed by many of Jobs’ colleagues and placed among other memorial items that had been left in his honor.
