Pizza cutter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A pizza cutter (or pizza wheel) is a utensil that is used to cut pizzas.[1]
Varieties[edit]
There are two main types of pizza cutters. The most common uses a wheel that rotates in a circle while a person moves the cutter in a direction that they would like to cut the pizza..[1] The other type is a large curved knife called a mezzaluna (Italian for "half moon"), which is rocked back and forth to cut the pizza. These two types of pizza cutters come in many different sizes.[2] Many people might use the wheel pizza cutter for other things, including craft work. Some types of mezzalunas (particularly the double-bladed type) are often used to mince herbs or chop vegetables.[2]
