A pizza cutting tool is rotatably mounted on the mounting tabs and an upward periphery of the wheel extends partially through the elongated slot. An arcuate elongated guard member extends from a forward end of the slot, thence upwardly and over a portion of a periphery of the cutting wheel, and thence extends downwardly through a rearward end of the elongated slot, and thence outwardly and rearwardly from an adjacent portion of the periphery of the cutting wheel below the elongated slot.
