chef knife to cut pizza

I cooked a homemade pizza today - made the dough, shredded the cheese, etc.  It was awesome.

My problem and question is - my pizza cutter broke so I used my tojiro dp chef knife to cut the pizza into slices. I know this isnt its intended use and I will replace the pizza cutter but should I be concerned about the heat of the pizza causing damage to the knife and the steel? 

Anyone have any suggestions for a good pizza cutter?

For pizza I have a 10" cheap stainless slicer that is very thin at the edge and sharpened to a 60deg inclusive angle. Goes thru the hardest crust easy and no problem cutting on a metal baking pan with it if I'm too lazy to transfer to the cutting board.  I only did that once because I like a keen edge on all my knives, even if they don't need it.
