Your Perfect Pizza Companion

Put away your pizza wheel. Don’t even think about using that giant chef’s knife. There’s another kitchen tool that’s faster and better for cutting a pizza: pizza shears! It might sound surprising, but yes! And if you haven’t tried them yet, it’s about the time.

Scissors to cut pizza? Does this sound a bit untraditional? Maybe, but yes – kitchen shears are the simplest way to cut pizza. They are more than just scissors; they’re one of the most underrated, valuable tools in your kitchen. There are so many tasks they can handle, and now you can add cutting pizza to the list of their many uses. These pizza shears also offer a handy spatula to transport the slice from directly to your dish (or mouth)!

There are other methods for cutting pizza, but none are quite as easy or clean. Even when it’s minimal, the sawing motion from using a knife has a way of pushing the melty cheese and toppings around, usually clumping them together. As for pizza slicers, it’s really difficult to get cleanly cut all the way through the dough. Kitchen shears, on the other hand, cut easily and cleanly through the crust and across the pie, leaving the toppings and cheese just where you placed them.
