Amazon.com Review
In his campaign for accessible, delicious food, Mario Batali is one of the most popular chefs and restaurateurs in the world. Created by Copco and inspired by Batali, the Italian Kitchen line of cookware and tools reflects the famous chef's philosophy that great food needs no gimmicks. Durable, versatile, and high quality, the collection is perfect for the active home chef. A handy counterpart to the Batali stainless-steel pizza wheel, this handsome version features a polycarbonate blade, so it slices cleanly through crust but goes easy on pans. The handle combines Soft Grip surfacing with substantial length, and the angle of the sturdy head is comfortable in action. Measuring 4 inches in diameter, the blade cuts pizza, calzoni, cheeses, and desserts. For convenience, it cleans up in the dishwasher. --Emily Bedard

 Brilliant October 18, 2008

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. July 14, 2008

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.

 Great idea that follows bad ones. February 20, 2008

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 and you might find yourself spending lots of time trying to clean out cheese, grease, or other unsavory bits.
If you really insisted on being able to cut your pizza on your nonstick pans, this would be the cutter to get, but be ready to buy a new one quickly.
 A bit of a let-down January 23, 2008

This product 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! November 2, 2007

This is a wonderful pizza cutter. It won't hurt any surface, but is sharp enough to cut through anything. Love it!
