Use Scissors as a Makeshift Pizza Cutter

You Need: A pizza cutter.
You Can Use: A pair of scissors.

You'll invest in a pizza wheel as soon as you install a brick oven in your kitchen. Until then, plain old kitchen shears will cut through crust and hot toppings without drama or fuss. If the pizza is really hot, use an oven mitt or tongs with your other hand to hold the crust while you cut.
