[David DeCristoforo]

That tool if for sissies. Real men cut their pizzas with something like this:

Sorry David; these pizza cutters beat yours. These actually cut something that looks like a pizza.

"...these pizza cutters beat yours..."

That's what I'm talkin' about. But what's with those wimpy guys? Two guys to cut a pizza? I don't think so. Then the other cat is going to want some.... Probably want half the beer too....

[Mark Riegsecker]

A toe kick saw.
Most pizzas are only large enough to have 4 pieces anyway.
At least the way I cut them.

[Jim Becker]

Does it have a crumb collection port?

[Sonny Edmonds]

Oh, I just use my band saw.
Doesn't everybody?

[Larry Edgerton]

I have used a ryoba saw when camping to flip pancakes and eggs.....

[Frank Townend]

You guys are a hoot, great follow-on...

[Roman Hruska]

For cleanup, the whole kitten-kaboodel must be dishwasher safe!

Wouldn't the correct cleaning solvent be beer?

That tool you show, Frank, is clearly meant for that lesser pizza. It doesn't have blade clearance for that magical food which I call real pizza--Chicago deep dish. ((ducking))

You could probably flip the pizza over and cut it in two passes though.

For the record, long ago, the Festool system became my tool of choice for pizza cutting due to its integrated crust collection.

[Frank Townend]

I have to agree with you Narayan, barely able to pass muster.

Park Tools Pizza Tool

Only problem is, my pizzas end up looking like they were cut by Picasso! I lost the handlebars!

[Brian Penning]

Ummmm...you're supposed to "cut" pizza?
Must be the same folks who eat pizza with a knife and fork, eh?

I'm with you, Nayar. I've never even been to Chicago, but I sure like their pizza! I have an episode of "America's Test Kitchen" on DVR where they show how to make deep dish pizzas at home. I think it's time I tried it! My 17" band saw should handle the slicing.

Add a Festool-type guide rail and this would be complete. Pass the Parmesan.
