I'm going on a picnic and I want to bring some boxes of pizza along. However the picnic location is about 1hour away from where I'll be coming from. How do I keep the pizza warm for that long until I get there? It's a nice rural area with no pizza places so ordering would be out of the question and it's about 1hour away from every other city. So if anyone has any good suggestions please provide them. Thank you!!

get one of those hot/cool bags, they sell them at just about every supermarket, and also at wal-mart
here at our local Wal-Mart they are like 2.00
and at the supermarket they are 1.50
and they work REALLY GOOD! and big enough that the pizza box can slide right in the bag.
don't even have to close the bag at the top either, it keeps them real hot.
I sometimes bring pizza to cheer practice for my squad, and its over an hour before we eat, pizza is still piping hot!

What you need is a good collapsible cooler. You know those ones that are like soft duffel bags. Also buy a few of those stick on heating pads that activate with air. Get enough to layer the bottom of the bag.
Twenty minutes before you depart activate the heating pads and zip up the cooler to warm it. Then place the pizza on top of the heating pads. If you can fit the box inside please do the cardboard will act as a insulator. Otherwise place the pizza slices in plastic containers with some breathing room. The warmed air inside the containers will keep the pizza warm.
The key is to put the food in as hot as possible. Also be sure to eat as soon as you get there to avoid food borne illnesses.
Happy Trails!!

Plastic THEN foil to keep foil from the acid of tomato sauce.It cannot hurt to bring along a thick cotton towel to wrap pizza box (es) and get to warm car. All the padding keeps the cardboard boxes warm. Don't forget to eat up quickly as salmonella could set in after a couple of hours if hot outsidet and food not refrigerated, esp cheese and meat. Tomato sauce helps preserve a bit, eat it up soon after arrival and toss the rest at home.

Heres what you do. You take the piza out of the boxes. put them on a plate and cover them with plastic wrap. Then put them in one of those keep hot/cold coolers.

Put them in the trunk of the car. Unless you live in Alaska this should keep them hot.

you could put them on your floor on the passenger's side and turn the heater on for just the feet only.
Crack the windows if you get a little too warm. :)
