Pizza Clippers, scissors that easily dole out your piece of the pie
One look at these Pizza Clippers and you can immediately see their usefulness. Toss those old pizza-cutting implements such as that huge meat cleaver, those sharp, scary rollers, or that outlandish laser pizza cutter, and just cut that 'zza like you would a piece of paper, with the resulting slice safely nestled on its wedge-shaped spatula and ready for slinging at your hungry minions.
Looks like it's big enough to cut up a really big pizza, too. Of course, that huge arc-shaped "pizza rocker" knife used by pizza pros is a lot faster, but it could slice up your countertops, too. And the Pizza Clippers need no cutting board. Sold by the whimsically-named online store Stupididiotic, we think this $20 tool is anything but.

that is absolute genius!! literally, how did this not get thought of before?

This did come out before. This isn't new, it came out a few years ago. It does seem like a great idea, but a lot of "make things easier" books have shown to use kitchen scissors instead of pizza cutters in the past. This just glues them together, making this only able to be used for pizza so you can no longer use the scissors for other food products or use the spatula for pie, etc.

They have been using scissors at the pizza place in my hometown in Michigan for 60 years. Check it out:

Scroll about 40% down and you'll see the scissors in action. Obviously this design takes the concept a bit further by adding the spatula feature. Pretty cool twist.

wouldn't that just cut one side of the slice??

I'd have to agree with Sputchicken, it looks like you'd have to make an incision first, and then cut the piece out. And as for those "huge arc-shaped pizza cutters", I used to work in a restaurant that sold pizza, and we used those things all the time, and they aren't sharp enough to cut up your counter-top, unless you're the Hulk....working in a pizza place. "Hulk serve pizza!!" Not likely.

I never could understand why cutting pizza needs to be so complicated. Even the conventional rollers are messy and hard to use/clean.
Below is a link to a device. THIS is how it should be done!

That does not look better or easier. It would suck to clean and you would take twice as long to cut a pizza. snip slide over snip slide over snip slide over

How would you cut the other side of the piece you want? You would have to slide the spatula under the pizza, cut, take it out, slide it under again, slice, and finally be able to get just one piece. It just seems big and bulky, and a waste of time and effort. Is it dishwasher safe? Even if it is, it would be very difficult to fit in a dishwasher and still have enough room for everything else. Stupid idea. Your everyday kitchen knife or pizza roller do the trick just fine. Both are typically dishwasher safe, and not big, bulky, and annoying.

Um... You would only need to make ONE incision first. The rest would be automatic.

As a product designer, I find this product, and the other sited here to both be very stupid. For one, where the hell are you going to store the thing? It's huge and looks expensive to be tooled up. Another point is imagine cleaning that thing. what a pain in the ass. I hate products that try to replace a typeform...the KNIFE!
