- Hotbox Food — Founded in 2016 in Maranello, Italy, a team of part time pizzaiolos and engineers were fed up with delivering cold and soggy pizza to their clients. Desperately failing to find a solution they decided to take matters in their own hands.

Aerospace engineers, cousin Anthony, long time friend Marco and Industrial Automation technician Domenico applied advanced physical principles and ingenious mechanical innovation to make Hotbox – keeping the food hot (85°C) and crunchy (steam-free) for up to 40 min of transport, recycling the excess heat from the scooter engine. Since then the team is growing and continue to innovate and work hard to make Hotbox available for restaurants and delivery teams across the globe, with the mission to elevate the quality of the food delivery industry – hot & crunchy food at the doorstep!
