Well, here in China, cutting food (specially raw meat) with scissors is actually quite standard in restaurants.

But I guess the pizza part may not be so common. ;)

I use kitchen shears (kitchen name for scissors, only used for food stuff and washed like knives) frequently. I haven't tried it for pizza, though!

I also have separate scissors in kitchen to be used for cooking. Cutting chicken for salad, slicing bacon or whatever.
