The contraption, which is called the The Portion PadL, enables you to quickly slice pies into any number of evenly cut slices. Check out the video below to see it in action.
I suppose ever pizza related product is intended to solve some problem. We've survived hundreds of years without one of these, so it probably isn't an absolute necessity... but quite cool, nonetheless.
The question is whether it's more or less useful than The Pizza Butler -- a space saving pizza contraption we featured on I Dream Of Pizza last year. What do you think?

I've found it easy enough to just pay attention to what I'm doing to get the slices approximately even. If someone's too lazy to pay attention, they probably won't use the tool anyway. If they're not skilled enough to cut a pizza straight when paying attention, should they really be allowed near the sharp edges of a pizza cutter?
Hi Pizza Girl!
Here are some of the advantages to the invention and why large companies and franchises are purchasing it.
Less waste and more profit because small pizza slices that are typically thrown away are eliminated.
No more complaints about unequal size slices.
Meets school and institutional pizza equal slice size specifications.
Speeds up the food line because no one has to pick between the various size slices.
Even new employees can utilize the board easily.
No longer have to use your best personnel to cut the pizzas into equal slices.
Speeds up the cutting process, thereby increasing profits.
Better visual presentation of the pizza and/or food.
Easy to calculate the nutritional values of each slice because the slices are equal sizes.
Numbers printed on the board indicate the number of slices that are cut with that board.
Composition material is food safe Richlite, NSF approved
Richlite does not harbor bacteria and heat resistant up to 350 degrees.
Board is rugged, durable and won't chip.
Doesn't dull knives and cutting tools.
Made in the US
I do agree that some people need to be kept away from sharp objects!

Thank you for posting your review and product description. Especially with a new product with no history. Just an update with the Portion PadL's first year of sales. Pizza franchises, independent pizza businesses, convenience stores (who buy hundreds at a time), a multibillion food service company (who buy hundreds at a time) and school systems have discovered the nutritional value, reduction in labor cost as well as increased profits when using the Portion PadL to serve equal pizza slices. The Portion PadL has sold throughout the US, Canada and the Mediterranean. It's been my observation that those who work with pizza on a daily basis, like me, understand the value of the Portion PadL and the sales don't just come from pizza businesses, rather any place where pizza is sold. All this within the first year of sales!
