Fred and Friends. Real men don’t use wimpy dime-store pizza wheels. Show that pizza you mean business ith our new Pizza Boss 3000. It’ll blast through pepporoni, extra cheese, even those pesky anchovies. It’s built from tough engineering-grade plastics and the laser etched stainless steel blade has a removable shield for easy clean up. Clear pastic gift box.
I never thought I’d say this about a Fred product, but do not buy this useless item.
This pizza cutter is an interesting novelty item in the shape of a circular saw. It looks pretty, and doesn’t work. The blade for this item is only a few inches across and the clearance under the flat deck is less than an inch. If you’re like me and only eat thick “rising crust” pizzas, all you’ll end up doing is hopelessly mutilating your dinner.
Another thing to consider is cost. In the past I have been happy to pay a little extra for Fred products because they were quirky and entertaining, but they were also functional. As I said above, this item does not function. The 15 dollar price paid by this consumer would easily have paid for 2 or 3 larger bladed pizza-cutters that work flawlessly.
Sorry Fred, this time you Failed. I’ll have to think twice before I buy another of your products, maybe up until now I’ve just been lucky.
It doesn’t work perfectly, but I didn’t expect it to. It’s a novelty item. My Dad LOVED it for Fathers Day though. It’s just a neat thing for people that like quirky gadgets. I’d suggest getting it.
