Some University of Dayton students proved just that.
They developed a bag that uses what they call "phase-change material" to keep the pizza warm from the oven to your table.
The high-tech bags use an electrically-charged heat disk that keeps the pizzas 40-degrees hotter than traditional bags.
The pizza bags cost about 90 dollars each.

But in addition to looking for the perfect Tom their sights are set on education.
The group is sponsoring a program to plant trees and other vegetation that Turkeys find appetizing.
Steve Pardon will have more about the educational program tomorrow on News 7 Mornin' starting at 6 am.
