 Item number SCP-458 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-458 is considered safe and therefore is to be stored in the staff canteen at Site 17 with no access restrictions required. Description SCP-458 is a large sized pizza box from the pizza chain Little Caesars of their hot and ready variety. It is made of simple cardboard, measures 25.4 cm by 25.4 cm by 2.54 cm, 10 inches by 10 inches by 1 inch, and weighs about 20 to 20.49 grams depending on toppings. As a result of the unusual nature of SCP-458, measurement of weight is inconsistent. What makes SCP-458 an oddity is that, while appearing to be an ordinary pizza box, when it comes into contact with human hands, it instantaneously replicates within it the holder's subconsciously preferred choice of pizza, down to the favorite sauce, cheese, crust, and topping. It is not limited to the Little Caesars brand, as pizza from all major pizza chains, as well as local and even handmade pizzas have been produced. There seems to be no limit to its ability, except that it cannot make anything but pizza, and its toppings must be edible by normal human standards. The box is also rather indestructible, as all tests to destroy or dismantle the box have proven fruitless. It is assumed the box is semi-sentient, having at least enough telepathic or empathetic ability to sense what the holder's personal choices regarding pizza are. Other constant testing showed SCP-458's seemingly infinite power to generate pizza, but with little other use. It has henceforth been placed inside the canteen at Site-17 for free use by personnel. After its open usage has been allowed, personnel morale has shown to have sharply increased. Addendum 1A Upon testing SCP-458 with SCP-458, the subject took a bite of the slice, which appeared to be a garlic-free slice of sausage and olive pizza on wheat crust. This was met with the response, it's a fine slice, but I would have preferred a rather different sauce. It was inferred that the box cannot use substances that are indigestible by regular human bodies. Further testing confirmed this. Addendum 1B Document number 458-1A I would just like to remind all staff that just because we have a pizza box that can constantly create pizzas for you does not mean that you can just sit around and eat pizza all afternoon. If continued abuse of the box continues, coupled with reports of personnel gaining unhealthy amounts of weight, I may be forced to implement a mandatory physical training regimen following lunch hours. Dr. Del Marino Document number 458-1B For simple curiosity's sake, and to, perhaps, get a better idea of the mindset of certain SCPs, I have compiled a list of sentient SCP's reactions when holding the box. SCP-SCP-40 Result Small Extra Cheese Cheese Stuffed Crust SCP-SCP-56 Result Medium Sliced Bell Peppers Thin Crust Alfredo Sauce SCP-SCP-73 Result Medium Feta and Jack Cheese No Sauce Thin Crust Note Almost immediately after opening SCP-458, the produced pizza began to go through symptoms similar to other organic material within SCP-73's effect radius. The experiment was retried, with the pizza being removed from SCP-458 immediately after its opening, with minor deterioration present. When queried by researchers, SCP-73 stated it had never ingested products created by SCP-458. SCP-SCP-762 Result Large Meatballs Pepperoni Bacon Canadian Bacon Sausage Hamburger Thick Crust SCP-SCP-105 Result Small Olives Wheat Crust Thin SCP-SCP-108-1 Result Large Pepperoni Thick Crust SCP-SCP-134 Result Small Onions Anchovies Olives Thin Crust SCP-SCP-166 Result Small Bell Peppers Olives Thin Crust Note After SCP-166 ate a slice of pizza from SCP-458, SCP-166 complained about occasional moderate discomfort and nausea. The effects stopped after approximately 20 hours. SCP-SCP-181 Result Large Pepperoni Sausage Marinera Stuffed Crust Note SCP-181 was told that this was a reward for good behavior and that it was a lucky guess that it was his favorite type of pizza. SCP-SCP-182 Result Medium Olives Mushrooms Pretzel-Dough Crust SCP-SCP-343 Result Large Almost every topping imaginable with over 100 distinct foods identified. SCP-SCP-378 SCP-378-1 Result SCP-378-1 produced a large thin crust pizza with pesto sauce, ricotta, mushrooms, and fried mealworms. SCP-378 itself could not activate SCP-458. SCP-SCP-33001 Result Large extra cheese and pepperoni, wet when removed from box. SCP-SCP-347 Result Medium Anchovies All instances produced identical pizzas with identically arranged toppings. Subject Dr. Michaels Result Large Hawaiian Tomato sauce Honey baked ham Pineapple Extra mozzarella cheese With Tabasco SCP SCP-4504 Result Medium Egg Bacon Barbecue sauce base Thick crust SCP SCP-4999 Result Extra large Half supreme Half pepperoni Note SCP-4999 shared the pizza with D430276 who was suffering from end-stage renal disease. Notably, this was the same variety D430276 frequently shared with her late partner and the first known case of SCP-458 accommodating a pizza which exceeds its volume. SCP-POI-3445 SCP-5175-1 Result Wielding SCP-5175 POI-3445 produced large pizza with mozzarella cheese stuffed crust, a barbecue sauce base, bacon bits, bacon strips, ground beef, ham, pepperoni, sausage, and a dusting of crushed chili cheese fritos. SCP-5175-1 contributed teriyaki sauce. Note Through POI-3445 SCP-5175-1 claims to have never tasted teriyaki sauce. It emerged as a modern fusion recipe and is not traditional Japanese cuisine. SCP-5175-1 acquired a liking for the sauce after conversation with POI-3445 who regularly ordered chicken teriyaki at the marketplace at Steamtown's food court. Further testing on SCPs may reveal some odd characteristics about the SCPs themselves and is suggested. Dr. Crane Update Further cross-testing is permitted, but requires approval and supervision due to safety concerns. Dr. W... Lesson complete.
