Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This comfortable pizza wheel will cut through crusts thick and thin without putting extra strain on your wrists or hands. The ergonomically designed handle keeps the wheel right in your palm so you can apply direct pressure to the blade and exercise more control over its direction. For safety, the handle is made of non-slip plastic for a secure grip and is coated with UV protection to prevent it from ever yellowing. The blade on this pizza wheel is made of extra-hardened steel that stays sharp and cuts quickly and easily. The blade and handle separate for more thorough cleaning. This product is comfortable for either righties or lefties to use and is covered by Zyliss under a five-year warranty from the date of purchase. --Cristina Vaamonde

5.0 out of 5 stars Pizza fun from Ideo, August 1, 2003

By	David Shamma "Ayman" (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This pizza wheel comes via Ideo's design studio as a new line of kitchen stuff from Zyliss that I've been seeing Alton Brown using every now and then.

The idea is simple...put the blade under your hand, where you are pushing down, rather than the standard pizza cutter lever device. The result (while contrary to the seemingly immutable laws of physics) is you don't have to push down very much at all. It boils down to it is more natural to push down in this manner than to grip and use a standard pizza cutter.

The wheely blade itself is larger than my past pizza cutter (from Park Bike Tools) -- so it feels happier rolling while cutting through the bowl-of-cheese they call a pizza here in Chicago.

The wheel snaps apart in about 1 second, fully exposing the interior, so you can scrub away, or just set it in your diswasher resting on a rail -- that does the job almost as well.

Great product...great fun to use.

5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic, July 2, 2003

By	richard winchell (Vancouver + San Francisco) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this pizza wheel after having read about the design of it (and the other new Zyliss kitchen items) on IDEO's website. Last night I used it, and it was amazing: super fast and easy to cut, without requiring a ton of hand pressure.

The design places all of your hand pressure onto the blade, instead of at the end of a handle, like every other pizza wheel out there. The handle is big, so one's hand can grip it easily.

If you like pizza, you'll love this pizza wheel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy on the hands, September 10, 2005

By	KSW (Evanston, IL) - See all my reviews

This pizza cutter is very ergonomic - I am able to use very little force to cut through pizza, etc. compared to "traditional" pizza cutters. I also use it to cut up my toddler's food right on the plate. Also, very easy to clean. It comes apart very easily, and you can scrub the entire blade, or just throw it it the dishwasher. Highly recommended.
