Pizza cutter facts
There are two types of pizza cutters, writes Lucia Blash.
The pizza wheel is the more common of the two.
The device features a sharp-edged wheel that when rolled across a pizza slices it.
The mezzaluna is a large curved knife that is rocked back and forth to cut the pizza.
Both cutters were invented to maximise pizza slice potential. They are used instead of a knife to avoid dislodging loose toppings.
The back and forth motion of the blade works better than a knife because it cuts vertically.
Ergonomically designed for a comfortable, safe grip, Gaston sports a stainless steel blade that is destined for a long and happy life on the edge.
He comes in four colours: Orange, red, blue and green. £16.25, www.groovytek.co.uk.
