  • Patent number: 5165171
    Abstract: A unitary metal pizza slice server has a triangular food support surface with a first handle portion projecting from its base and an overlying second handle portion resiliently joined at the distal end of the first portion to form a U-shape handle. The second handle portion terminates in a concave U-shaped food gripper facing the base of the triangular food support surface. The handle has a zone proximate the food support surface of a sufficient width and length in order to dissipate heat from a piping hot pizza slice on the food support surface so that the portion of the handle beyond this zone may be gripped by an unsheathed hand of a user. The handle is also sufficiently long to ensure sanitary serving of the pizza slice.
