Tour de Pizza Bicycle Pizza Cutter: Wheels on the Crust
A tiny road bike whose wheels are blades. Cyclists finally have a reason to be allowed in the kitchen.
A pizza wheel is already a wheel, so somebody eventually asked the obvious question: why not add a second one and a frame? The Tour de Pizza from SOHO Kitchen is a small metal bicycle whose front and back wheels are both cutting blades. You roll it across the pie like a cyclist crossing a very cheesy finish line.
It is silly, it is weirdly detailed, and it actually cuts pizza.
How does the Tour de Pizza bicycle pizza cutter work?
According to the listing, each wheel is a stainless blade with a sharp, non-stick rim. You hold the little bike by its frame and push it through the pizza, and the two blades trace the same line, so a single pass cuts cleanly through thin crust or thick. The brand says the frame, saddle and bars copy an actual road bike at one-tenth size.
The details in the listing put it at roughly 7 inches long and 4.5 inches wide, and just 2.4 ounces, so it is light in the hand. It comes with a display stand, which solves the storage problem of a gadget that does not lie flat in a drawer. Between pizza nights, the bike can sit on the counter or a shelf and look like decor rather than a knife.
Cleanup is straightforward: warm soapy water works, and the listing says it is dishwasher safe, with the top rack recommended. The small frame has fewer nooks than you might expect, although melted cheese can still collect around the axles, so a quick rinse right after dinner makes life easier. As with any rolling cutter, keep the sharp wheels away from small hands.
