Abstract
An expandable triangular pizza storage container with a set of microwaveable triangular trays for the separation, microwaving and serving of individual slices of pizza. The storage container has a series of concentric triangular compartments that are expanded from a flexible polymer, accordion-style container body. The lid also has a triangular configuration with a replaceable compressible gasket, a set of four locking wings extending from each side that frictionally engage a rigid triangular top ring of the container body, and a central vent. The trays may incorporate uniform concave pockets to facilitate crisping of the pizza crust in the microwave and be of a solid or cored design, of microwave and dishwasher friendly material.
