bungee nets and a backpack... I too hauled a large pizza box on the tank of an FZR1000. I sometimes miss the days when I was younger =) Now, I pick up my pizza in a car.

I can carry a pizza while on my bike too. I just put it in my stomach first, then ride.

Stuffed in my shirt, under my vest, or under my jacket if I'm not using a backpack.

Only time I've looked like I had a beer gut.

The ballcap to cover my bald *** head goes down the waistband of my pants in the back (brim facing down). I use a Shieldsak which holds my clear visor for rides when I know its gonna be dark before getting home, but it doubles as a handy man-purse to carry smaller items when I don't need the shield (a Kahr MK .40 fits quite nicely).
Its hidden by the jacket so I don't feel too gay since no one ever sees it.

Stuff it in my shirt, put it in a bag and tie the handle to my beltloop, and my personal fave, ask for a pair of large rubber bands and wrap them around the handlebars. I cover the idiot lights, with whatever it is that I need to bring home, but that is no biggie.

I used to cram my pockets full, pants and jacket. I'd have stuff bungied to the seat. I finally got bags on the Fat Bob and I enjoy riding much more.

I hardly ever use my bags, i use my solo luggage rack a bit more. But most of the time i dont use either. In this case, i strap my jacket above my headlight on my forks. Put stuff inside jacket before i roll it up and strap it on.
