Puns are Us tonight I see.
I have one caveat about a sharp version of those damned things (what's wrong with a big knife ? ) How the hang do you clean one when it's covered in tomato sauce and gluey cheese ? My rotary cutter for fabric is lethal, if you've sharpened up one of the pizza cutter things you've just made a huge version of lethal
This comes to mind….

I've a gammon slicing knife. It's blade sounds about the same length as yours. Used to be used in the days before those sliding automatic slicing machines. It makes a dreadful screeching noise when I try using it to cut pizza on the pizza stone though.
Scissors work brilliantly

Um, just thinking how to put a motor on one of those. A small electric job with a rubber wheel pressed against the blade... May splatter a bit if the toppings are particularly goey....
There being a odd number of us cutting a pizza or cake into equable bits had always involved more thought than I can sumon when the blood sugar is low so I have a big chopping board with marker lines on it to centre the circular food and give 5 equal pieces. If I mounted a rotating central spindle with peg holes in it, with a sharp point of course, I could grind a hook into the tip of a suitable knife and use it like a old school guillotine or cloggers knife....
Hows that for overcomplicating the process? Quick, to the patent office!

The real trouble with using a knife is the drag; it can and often does drag the cheese off the pizza. Scissors work fine on thin crust, but not so much on real deep dish pizza.

I do like the wheels on our home made pizzas (rarely eat delivery pizza johntarmac - we can make better for less money and have it on the plate quicker). The wheels work well and, as said above, don't drag off the cheese and toppings. But they need to be sharpish. That all stainless one lasted four years or so before it needed sharpening and I could have just bought a new one - but how wasteful is that?
You just re-nvented the angle grinder! Surely a 100mm slitting disc is the solution?
I am a fan of fresh chilli, red onion and mushroom on a pizza - with or without some form of chorizo, salami etc.
