Abstract:

Single use supports comprising small, plastic three legged stools are known as aid in preventing the cover portions of pizza containers from collapsing onto the pizza being transported or stored in the container. These devices have only limited utility. Proposed herein is a combination serving utensil and container support. This device has a server portion sized and shaped to serve a typical serving slice of pizza, and an upstanding portion which has a vertical dimension which, when the server portion is placed between the pizza and the base portion of the container, approximates the height of the pizza container. The device also includes a handle portion preferably attached to the upper end of the upstanding portion. This handle portion extends substantially parallel to but offset from the server portion and has an upper surface which may include advertising indicia thereon.
