Brilliant
This is the only pizza wheel I've used that won't scratch pans. I've had this for well over a year - and have used it MANY times - and it is still in perfect condition. Its handle is quite heavy, which makes cutting pizza very easy.
Save your money and don't buy this piece of junk.
The blade on this cutter lasted a total of 3 pizzas. It looked cool on the site, but it didn't stand up to even the light use I gave it.
I purchased this item and the kitchenAid cutter below, and they are night and day. If you are serious about pizza, skip this 'persimmon' toy and go for a real pizza cutter.
KitchenAid Large Pizza Wheel, Black
Great idea that follows bad ones.
This pizza wheel has a nice, heavy handle and a large blade. Take away one dubious "feature" and add another and it would be close to perfect.
The fact of the matter is that pizza and nonstick should not be in the same sentence. Good pizza, at least, is cooked at very high temperatures, which isn't a good thing for nonstick pans, anyway. Run the plastic blade over the edge of your pan or even the "Mario Batali" folding pizza peel (a very good product from this line) and voila, you have a nick that can not be repaired. Even tossing this in a drawer with metal utensils will quickly damage the cutting edge.
A simple screw would have made this pizza cutter much easier to clean, as well. As it is, the blade is non-removable ... Read More
A bit of a let-down
Mario Batali The Italian Kitchen Collection Pizza Wheel with Polycarbonate Wheel is a good idea but it didn't work as well as I expected it to. Further, its size makes it awkward to store. For what it costs, I expected a more effective product. The plus side is that it didn't scratch our pans (which was why we bought it in the first place) but we found this to be a bit of a let-down. We had also hoped to use it for cutting brownies in the non-stick pan, but that didn't work out either because of the size of the wheel - it really can't get too close to the end of the pan. Disappointed......
Gread product!
This is a wonderful pizza cutter. It won't hurt any surface, but is sharp enough to cut through anything. Love it!
