9 Best Bicycle Pizza Cutters
Once in a while, something extraordinary happens in the world of innovation.
Sometimes, some products make so much sense that we wonder why no inventor thought about it for so long.
It has long been known that the regular single-wheel pizza slicers don’t work very well.
It is almost the case that we have to cut the pizza at least two times in order to properly makes slices out of a whole pizza.
As product designers started to design a double-wheel pizza cutter, they realized that it had an uncanny resemblance to bicycles.
So they decided to embrace that resemblance rather than ignore it.
Thus the bicycle shaped pizza cutter was born.
And about time too. Here are the best available today.

They are surprisingly sharp with non-stick edges.

The bicycle frame that acts as the handle of the cutter is made of aluminum alloy while the wheels are made of stainless steel.

While it retain the form of a bike, the product designer has added his flair on it making it look less like a real bike… yet more artistic!

Being so economically priced, I can see households purchasing it just to spruce up the kitchen counter.

But I suspect that the affordability is due to cutting corners (pun intended) on material costs as the back wheel don’t seem to be made with stainless steel.

It fits the hand comfortably and a single stroke with this device should be enough to cut a pizza.

This can be critical when there are children around.
