Sometimes Facebook comments make us laugh, sometimes they make me want to cry. Recently, they had us totally surprised. Why? Everyone freaked out over something unexpected in this Everything Bagel Pizza video: The chef and mastermind behind the pie served at The Parlor in Dobbs Ferry, NY, cut slices with scissors.
SCISSORS.
People found it bizarre.
People found it disturbing.
People got friends to back them up.
People called it a monstrosity.
People wondered WTF was going on.
And everyone wanted to to chime in.
Some people were completely turned off.
And others thought it was a big issue.
Some people reckon traditional round pizza cutters are the absolute worst. They never slice through the crust on the first try. You have to run the damn thing back and forth a million times, and it's impossible to follow the original line, so you're left with some seriously janky looking slices with cheese falling off of them.

That's where scissors come in. Snip, snip and you're done! It involves less work, gets pizza in your mouth faster, and it's actually super authentic. Italians have been serving shears with big pies forever. It's even how the country's street vendors cut their pizza.
If you're not still totally disturbed, turned off, and wondering WTF is going on, give scissors a try. Amazon's got a whole slew of food-safe ones — even shears made exclusively for cutting 'za. And if I can find those on the Internet, I must be more adept at the web than I originally thought.
