DEFINITION - The term "pizza box server" refers to the shape of a computer server enclosed in a rectangular and horizontally-arranged chassis and often installed in a rack with similar servers. In any country where Italian pizza can be ordered for home or office delivery, it comes in a box of roughly the same size as one of these servers.
