Amazon.com Review
In his campaign for accessible, delicious food, Mario Batali is one of the most popular chefs and restaurateurs in the world. Created by Copco and inspired by Batali, the Italian Kitchen line of cookware and tools reflects the famous chef's philosophy that great food needs no gimmicks. Durable, versatile, and high quality, the collection is perfect for the active home chef.
Homemade pizza deserves a special tool like this Italian Kitchen pizza wheel. With a comfortable Soft Grip handle and a generous 4-inch wheel, the piece is easy to use, and its sharp stainless-steel construction glides right through crust. Also great for frittatas, cheeses, and desserts, the piece has the signature Italian Kitchen grommet and cleans up in the dishwasher for convenience. --Emily Bedard
Product Description
Mario just loves the beauty and strength of this large oversized pizza wheel. The unique imprints on the wheel make cutting through cheese a breeze and the stainless steel wheel is great. pans. Sound design provides a strong, comfortable weight that requires less pressure from the hand when slicing.

A well-designed tool for the serious pizza lover!,

This review is from: Mario Batali The Italian Kitchen Collection Pizza Wheel with Stainless Wheel (Kitchen)
I've gone through three cutters and borrowed another one to try out in the last few months. The Zyliss palm-held model is ingeniously designed and so-so to use, but not really intuitive enough to use readily or well (and I've been a professional hand tool user in a variety of trades for the past 40 years). I tried out the KitchenAid model with the smaller blade and it was nice and heavy but unimpressive in use. I suppose the KitchenAid 4" model might have worked well, but it has some negative features I discovered during my research. The hanging hole is set perpendicular to the blade - not a good idea for hanging against a wall. The handle is metal and plastic and smooth (not conducive to maximum grip friction) and not shaped well for good torque control. The pistol grip is nice, but doesn't really add to the control of the operator. Lastly, the axle is a bolt and nut and apparently isn't completely stainless and eventually needs tightening because the locknut nylon is affected by machine-washing temps. I'm not surprised Mario Batali's stainless 4" pizza cutter was put out by Copco - I've had a coated, cast iron frying pan by Copco since the early 1970's and it's in exactly the same condition as when purchased - solid, beautiful, functional and a joy to use and own. This pizza cutter has the same attributes. It's really well designed ergonomically, esthetically and functionally. The axle is permanently riveted (no bolt and nut to eventually go loose or rust after machine washing) with what appears to be a single-piece axle/rivet, surrounded on either side with what appears to be neoprene washers. The wheel is riveted precisely enough that there is no slop whatsoever, yet the wheel rotates perfectly during use with no discernable friction. The oval handle, covered with the typical soft grip we see nowadays on contemporary tools, gives a great amount of control through grip friction and torque. The fit and finish of this tool is beautiful, with no discernable manufacturing flaws. In use, it cuts like gangbusters - one quick slice through and you're done. No need to back-and-forth to get the job done (and I bake thick-style pizza's). This thing is really heavy and substantial in the hand. Much, *much* better than anything I've used before. Obviously designed by someone who knows what they're doing. The price ($15 when I bought it) was ridiculously low, considering the workmanship and quality. I'd recommend this pizza cutter to anyone serious about their pizza. Thank you, Mario Batali (one of my favorite Food Network chefs)!

This review is from: Mario Batali The Italian Kitchen Collection Pizza Wheel with Stainless Wheel (Kitchen)
The large diameter wheel cuts the pizza without pushing the toppings around. The small indentations are there to help stop it from dragging the toppings along with it. The handle is a grippy, comfortable to hold shape. Clean-up is a snap -- it rinses right off.
I have four pizza cutters of various designs, and this is the one I always reach for. It works very well.

A little too big and Already Rusting...,

This review is from: Mario Batali The Italian Kitchen Collection Pizza Wheel with Stainless Wheel (Kitchen)
This is the biggest and heaviest pizza wheel this guy has ever seen... it'll do a number on a pizza but it's really overkill unless you have a pizza shop...
Most disappointing is that the rivet in the center of the pizza wheel is rusting after two weeks... maybe it's from being put in the dishwasher... I don't know, maybe that was in the instructions... but does anyone read instructions on pizza wheels?
