In order to determine how much of the pizza have left in the box, proceed as follow:

Multiply 2/3 by 2/5:


(2)/(3)\cdot(2)/(5)=(4)/(15)

It means that you sent 4/15 of the pizza you intially have.

Now, subtract 4/15 to 2/5 to determine the pizza left in the box:


(2)/(5)-(4)/(15)=(30-20)/(75)=(10)/(75)=(2)/(15)

Hence, the pizza in the box is 2/15 of the pizza of the party
