<p>Pizza Boss is the name of this new fun product for those who especially like the word <em>tool</em> when it comes to kitchen tools. It&#8217;s a pizza slicer designed to look like a circular saw.</p>
<p><span id="more-3400"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>
Unlike most power tools you won&#8217;t have to read the instructions before using the Pizza Boss as it&#8217;s fairly self-evident: take Pizza Boss in hand, slice pizza. It&#8217;s also a lot less dangerous than a circular saw &#8211; you&#8217;ve far less chance of taking your fingers off with this baby, unless you&#8217;re not really paying attention, but then you&#8217;ll probably just give yourself a nasty cut. It doesn&#8217;t require batteries and you won&#8217;t have to hook it up to the mains as the blade is powered by pure elbow grease (not included).

<p><img src="http://www.geekalerts.com/u/pizza-boss2.jpg" alt="Pizza Boss - Circular Saw Pizza Slicer" title="Pizza Boss - Circular Saw Pizza Slicer" width="492" height="154" /></p>

<strong>Features</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>A pizza slicer designed to look like a mini circular saw.</li>
<li>Incredibly easy to use: pizza + hand holding pizza boss = sliced pizza.</li>
<li>The blade has a removable shield for easy cleaning.</li>
<li>Doesn&#8217;t require batteries or mains power.</li>
<li>Manufactured using engineering grade plastic (which we&#8217;re assured is much tougher than standard plastic).</li>
<li>Suitable for ages 18 years+.</li>
<li>Size: 11.5 x 10.5 x 6.5cm.</li>
</ul>
