Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Sleek and compact, Zyliss' palm-held pizza slicer combines basic geometry with stylish design. A bright plastic cover shaped like a semi-circle snaps onto a round stainless-steel cutting wheel. Held with one hand, the wheel rolls easily and evenly over pizza surfaces without strain to the fingers or wrist. The cover even has a small knob on the side to brace against a thumb or forefinger. When it's time to clean up, the two parts come apart and both pieces go safely into the dishwasher. This handy tool also works with baked treats, cookie dough, or fresh pasta. It measures approximately 5-1/2 in diameter and comes with a five-year limited warranty. Choose from a range of popular colors to match any kitchen décor. --Kara Karll

Product Description

The pizza wheel has a palm-held grip for optimum control with less force, it is ergonomically designed so the pressure is applied directly to the cutting wheel instead of traveling along the length of a handle.

The Zyliss Palm Held Pizza cutter is hard to fault. It's inexpensive, safe to use, easy to clean and just works without any strain. I can't find any reason to downgrade it from 5 stars. Check out the video to see how easy it disassembles for cleaning. It's longevity is the only unknown...looks plenty sturdy, though. The blade is sharp enough for tough crust, but not so sharp as to be dangerous when removing. One note: I was surprised how large this cutter is. My extra large hands make it appear smaller in the video. It's actually over 5-1/4" across the cover, and the blade is nearly 4" in diameter.

UPDATE: The hinge broke on this cutter while opening to wash. I still love the design. Maybe they could strengthen the hinge.

I have owned 2 of these slicers, a white one and a red one. I love the look of this slicer as well as the ease of use and the way it fits your hand perfectly. I first saw this slicer being used by Alton Brown on the Food Network. It worked well for all the things he used it for, slicing pizza, herbs, noodles, pie crust, fudge, etc. The only thing it won't do is last longer than 6 months. Both of mine broke in the exact same place, right in the center where it supports the cutting wheel. When I got my second one I was extra careful with it thinking maybe I was too hard on the first one. It didn't matter, it broke in the same place. I wish Zyliss would build this exact same slicer made completely of stainless steel, I would pay $50 for it. Are you listening Zyliss? So now I must search for a new slicer, proably will have to settle for one with a handle so it will last.

4.0 out of 5 stars Poor Zyliss, once Swiss, now made in China, September 12, 2007

I used to adore all of my Zyliss stuff. That is, when their blades were made in Switzerland. Now, all of their products that I've seen are made in China. Quality suffers accordingly. I own the newer cheese grater because my gf and I broke up and she took it, but the new one is made in China. The roller blades don't quite fit as snugly.

Regardless, the primary drawback of this pizza cutter is cleaning. It is very dangerous to separate the plastic handle in order to access the blade for cleaning. The blade has also become dull after only about 15 pizzas. It still pushes through the pizza, but since I don't have a circular sharpening tool, it no longer slices through it. Decent product overall.
