Abstract
A spatula for holding at least one slice of pizza. The spatula includes a base and a handle. The base and includes a planar top surface, a front portion, a back edge, a pair of side edges. Each of the side edges is linear and includes a flanged portion extending at an acute angle upward from the planar top surface. The back edge includes a flanged portion extending upward at an acute angle from the planar top surface. The flanged portions extending along only a portion of the side edges, leaving the front portion of the base unflanged. The flange portions serve to confine the pizza slice on the base while enabling it to be introduced and slid off of the base from the front of the base.

A spatula for holding at least one slice of pizza, said spatula comprising:
- a planar base comprising plural flange portions, said planar base being of a generally V-shape and having a top surface, a front portion, a back edge, a pair of linear side edges, said back edge having a pair of respective ends, said linear side edges tapering together from respective ones of said pair of respective ends of said back edge to form a generally V-shaped point at said front portion, each of said linear side edges at said front portion tapering in cross section to form a respective cutting edge, said plural flange portions including a back flange and a pair of side flanges, said side flanges extending along a portion of said side edges adjacent to said back flange and being located between said front portion and said back edge and being fixedly secured and immovable with respect to said planar base, said back flange extending upward at an angle to said top surface along at least a portion of said back edge, each of said side edges having a predetermined length and being linear, each said side flange extending upward at an angle to said top surface of said planar base along only a portion of the predetermined length of said side edges, whereupon said front portion of said base does not include any flange portions and wherein said cutting edges of said linear side edges are configured to cut a portion of pizza to facilitate the separation of said at least one slice of pizza from at least another portion of a pizza;
- and
- a handle located at said back portion of said base.
