Just when you think you have seen it all , Guinness World Records Day comes along and puts you back in your place . Leave it to a New Yorker to land a major victory pizza: the largest collection of pizza boxes .
Scott Wiener of Brooklyn has amassed 595 boxes of pizza from 45 countries . Just think of all the pizza he got to eat ! Inspired by a beautiful box he found in Israel , Wiener began seriously collecting in 2008 . He prizes his box from other countries , and one in particular that his favorite : a box from the Netherlands who " looks almost , but - not - really like Bart and Homer Simpson , " Wiener said in a press release. (See an image of it here . ) "I remember shrieking when I saw it , " Wiener said . " It 's amazing . "
Wiener is not just sitting around admiring his collection either . He recently published a book on the pizza box art : " Viva La Pizza ,! " And going on a book tour this month . He owns and operates Scott's Pizza Tours in New York City , and he actually won a pizza themed Guinness World Record for the world's largest pizza box . The pizza inside - Deliverable world's largest pizza - fed up to 70 people and apparently tasted better than you may think .
One , burning question for any New Yorker is : where and how does the Wiener store all the boxes of pizza ? NYC apartments are known for their lack of square footage , and admits Wiener space is a factor if he can slow his collection one day . Its storage method for now flatting out the boxes , stacking them on top of each other, and keeping it in a closet . Every once in a while , however , he takes them out to bask in his glory pizza box .
