This combines two things I hold dear: pizza and sci-fi. Want. It's $24.99 (plus S&H), from thinkgeek.com, and, yes, it's officially licensed. Fun to see that the folks behind the Star Trek franchise have a sense of humor. [via seemunkee] More Sci/Sci-Fi/Pizza Cutters ...

[Photographs: Frankie Flood] Dear Internet, Yes, Slice has seen these awesomely cool pizza cutters. You can stop sending us the link now. Since so many of the oh-neat-look-at-this/design blogs out there fail to credit the man who made them, let us just say for the record that they were created by artist FRANKIE FLOOD, who, according to his website is "an Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, where he teaches in Foundations and is currently co-area head in Jewelry & Metalsmithing at UWM." That is all. Carry on....
Gold Knuckle by artist and metalsmith Frankie Flood. Dhorst sends along this link to a Syracuse pizza-related crime story: Robert Rainey said he was choking Reon Rainey in the kitchen when Reon Rainey picked up the pizza cutter and used it on Robert Rainey's face. Robert Rainey told police he didn't want his brother prosecuted because the incident was "not a big deal" with him, the arrest report states. It was about "something stupid." It always is....

Photograph from ** Maurice ** on Flickr If you haven't been paying attention to news from the U.K., some members of Parliament have come under fire in the last week for taking liberties with their expense accounts, including hedge-trimming, moat-clearing(!), and tennis-court repairs at their homes. Who knew there would be a pizza angle, though? One member of Parliament bought so much in the upscale food section of the department store Marks & Spencer that he got a free pizza wheel. Blimey!...
Sadly, the Pizza Pro 3000 pizza cutter is not a functioning circular saw. Although, if it were, things could get nasty fast—and you'd need safety goggles at dinner time. It's yet another novelty pizza cutter for the pizza freak in your life. Release date and price TBD from Fred & Friends [via Nerd Approved. Thanks, Humes!]...
Cut the perfect slice with the Pizza Pro. Looks a little unwieldy, but you gotta hand it to them—combining the pie-wedge spatula on the side of these gigantic scissors. No more goopy, lopsided messes. [via Beef Aficionado]...
The Chicago Tribune takes nine pizza cutters out for a test spin. This being a Chicago paper, its judging skewed more toward wheels that could handle deep dish: We wanted a cutter that could make slices without too much effort, cutting but not crushing that thick outer crust, and with wheels big enough to navigate the fillings. The smaller wheels got gobbled up by the pizza; in some cases the safety guards were so close to the wheels that cheese and sauce collected on the base--a mess for sure, but also robbing our servings of those tasty ingredients. Finally, we...
