For pizza boxes, corn plastic would actually be greatly preferable to cardboard! The main benefit of cardboard is that it recycles well, and cardboard is one of the most recycled consumer materials.
The main drawback of cardboard is that in terms of initial production, it has a larger carbon footprint than either plastic or bioplastic, and uses way more water pollution. Bioplastic doesn't recycle, but in one-time-use cases it's significantly greener than cardboard. Not only are pizza boxes non-recyclable due to their grease content, they can actually result in bins of perfectly recyclable cardboard being thrown out if people try to recycle too many of them along with their regular cardboard.
Unfortunately, I doubt bioplastic would stand up to hot greasy pizza very well unless you included so much petro plastic that most of the biodegradability was lost anyway.

the problem with bioplastic is that it would probably make your pizza soggy
Deliver pizzas in glass bottles and then when you are done with pizza you put your bottles outside your front door and the pizzaperson collects them at the next delivery.

This is good to know
I mean you could cut up your pizza boxes to remove the non-grease covered parts.
Pizza boxes here can go in recycling if they're not too soiled, like if they had one of those paper/cardboard sheets under the pizza.
Otherwise spoiled pizza boxes can go in the compost bin.

Oh, that's much better than just throwing them away (I was so bummed when I found out, myself). I'll try that, thanks!

I would advise checking your specific jurisdictions' regulations. I wouldn't guarantee everywhere could take them in compost.

There is a wide difference between cardboard and paperboard
I get them often from a reseller I buy 40k stuff from in Europe. I would just save it and toss it into my neighbor's yard when it would rain

But we can recycle threads! And it's about that time, yes?
this thread is too greasy
BY YOUR COMMAND
didn't they have a thing where they tried ovens in the vehicles at one point?
Dominoes has heater box cars

You're not allowed to do this.
Use the old thread while it's open and only start a replacement after it's closed.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
Because waste management does a large post it note when they pick up the garbage/recycle will say what you can put in the can and what you cannot
Or they used to do ads on tv
As from that is why I learned not to put pizza boxes in the blue container
