They’re pizza cutters. Not sure if you’ve seen them before, but they’re metal disks with a sharp(ish) edge that spin freely. You use it by pressing it into the pizza then pushing forward so the disk rotates and cuts through the pizza. Not as easy or precise as using, say, a mezzaluna, but much more compact and easy to fit in a drawer. This is what a more typical design looks like:
I love that the name “mezzaluna” is so descriptive that I immediately knew what tool you meant despite having never encountered the word in my life. Nicely done, Italy.
Is this because the TMNTs liked pizza or, just because?
Yes
Also I love pizza. Also I love the Ninja Turtles. It’s like some kind of poetry? I need to check Etsy.
Do you happen to also love DIY?
Lidl, or rather Parkside have released power tool pizza cutters
Thought as much
Is the metal circle meant to represent pizza?
