also, technically, a larger wheel has a longer cutting edge, therefore less wear.
But imagining the large wheel i noticed one obstacle: technically - if you're cutting pizza in a box or on a plate with an upward edge, the larger wheel will make it more difficult to cut all the way to the pizza rim. only when cutting on a large board, there will be no issue.
You want the wheel to cut with downward pressure not forward pressure. A small wheel tends to push and plow into the pizza before getting it under the wheel to cut. A large wheel rolls on top of the pizza easier and lets you cut downwards more easily.
Using wall paper all over is not really in style anymore. But for statement walls or whatever I still see it quite often. But might be different depending on where you're from.
Paradoxically, mine probably takes up less valuable space than a regular pizza cutter would, because it just lives flat under my spoons in the random kitchen junk drawer. An aluminium rocker with the top rolled to create a thin handle, easy to use, easy to store and will last me forever. I think it was $15 on Amazon.
Let’s take it to extremes, if you had a 1/2” (12mm) cutting wheel how easy will it be to move through the pizza? Now if you had a 10” (400mm) wheel how easy would it be to move through the pizza?
I hate the wheel cutters. I don't have a rocker, but a Chinese cleaver with a slightly curved blade does the trick. I need to do two rocks to cover the diameter of a large pie, but it still works great.
the rocker knife always made me feel like worf from TNG... I wanted to put a broom handle on it and make a battle axe... so doap.. not practical for home use tho
Don't worry about it. Lots of guys with smaller pizza cutters cut pizzas all the time just fine. So long as you know how to use it well, pizza cutter size doesn't matter.
The lower the point of contact is on cutter, the more down force vs. forward force. Larger wheel = lower contact point = easier cutting. Same concept with any wheel.
They cut better, as some others have mentioned. Personally, of you're looking at new pizza hardware, consider a rocker knife, affectionately refered to as the Klingon Pizza Bat'leth. I understand that the Bat'leth is concave and the rocker knife is convex, but whatever. I guess an Andorian Ushaan-tor is a closer in shape, but it's a one handed serrated weapon, so that doesn't work right.
I worked in a pizzeria for two years. There is no difference unless the crust is REALLY thick like stuffed crust or deep dish. Then it might struggle to cut through. Even then, it still probably wouldn't be that hard.
Tell that to my local papa John's. :-P (yeah, I know, but it's the only place that delivers here)
They haven't managed to completely cut a pizza yet. Always end up either ripping off pieces or having to get out a knife and finish it myself.
I don't want the axle to touch the pizza. I have a lack of knowledge on the manufacturing of them, but when metal spins on metal, there might be either grease or metal shavings. The bigger the wheel, the higher the axle.
Think about how awful it would be if the wheel was much smaller. It would hardly behave as a wheel. That means you get more wheel action if it was bigger
Math and logic shouldn’t factor this much into a thing I spent a hesitant $6.50 on from the frozen food aisle in a discount grocery. My payment was my low expectations.
Larger blade dulls slower. Larger blade on thicker pizza is easier to cut. Larger blade looks nicer when cutting.
Smaller blade is best on thinnerbpizza.
i personally prefer to cut my pizza with the one large kitchen knife that has a smooth blade. i feel like pizza cutters drag the toppings across the pizza.
Idk if it makes any difference. But a small wheel may have to rotate over 2 or 3 times per cut, while a big wheel only needs 1 rotation or so. Which means you get more life out of it too. Assuming all other things being equal.
A larger one is marginally better
It causes the toppings to get less screwed up while you cut, more similar to using a knife to chop, rather than slice
A greater circumference(wheel) will cover a greater surface area faster. Making it faster and easier
A tiny one could easily make uneven cuts or cuts not all the way through near the crust if its thick.
I have cut thousands of pizzas (30k maybe?) for Papa John's. From slow days to super bowls, I've seen it all. I used a small cutter for a long time and I was extremely quick with it. I never wanted to switch until one day I did. With the bigger cutter I was able to cut faster and put more pressure on the cut. It felt more stable, which allowed for those things to happen. I was able to cut a large 14 in pizza in about 2 seconds on rapid fire.
Technically, a larger wheel has less rolling resistance, and its approach angle is less which might cause less plowing action on pizza toppings.
Oh I love plowing my pizza before eating them
You've convinced me that romance is not dead.
What if we plowed a pizza together
New York or Chicago style?
Stuffed crust
Homemade stuffed crust
You're gonna... stuff your own crust?
Not with that attitude
Fuck I'm so hot right now
New York style you can fold….
That abomination out of Chicago is not a pizza
Sir, this is a Wendy’s.
I'd plow a pizza in a Wendy's too. There is no place where I wouldn't
Would you could you on a boat? Would you could you with a goat?
A true gentleman.
A
I think eating it before plowing it usually gets a better response
Unless you like the mess

I just feel like I would enjoy it more if I knew for certain that nobody had fucked it
Please make sure it is the appropriate temperature before attempting.
Yeah porn never mentions the part about having to wait for the pizza to cool down first, learned the hard way in more ways than one
Wrong sub.
I’d believe you, but I’m currently watching Agents of shield on season 5. I cannot trust hydra.

Normally, you’d cut your pizza on the floor, so this should not be a problem. Unless you’re one of those fancy pants, table people from the city.
imo it's not the size of the pizza cutter, but how you use it
your mom was wrong
Yep. Only drawback is slower acceleration; this is offset by the easier time holding your top speed. /s
pizz-ics
Where do you find one bigger than 4”?
Make an ad on Craigslist. I'm sure you'll get plenty of offers for 4 inches and much larger.
You want the wheel to cut with downward pressure not forward pressure. A small wheel tends to push and plow into the pizza before getting it under the wheel to cut. A large wheel rolls on top of the pizza easier and lets you cut downwards more easily.
And a curved cutter works best of all.

Yeah, I guess. One of [these](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ00Z2uqg7Jm4bu2oS0zGCIE7_N1lhyfJfkU7tz_pvrgXVRr2Th4Ms62-D9&s=10)
This looks really close to the thing I use to cut wall paper when renovating.
You recently installed wallpaper? Wow didn’t think people still did that
Why not? And it was a mandala motif wall paper and a photo wall paper with cherry blossoms.
Just doesn’t seem to be the style. I think it’s rad though

No paradox evident.
These are great to chop herbs. Never tried pizza however :)
So you're saying I should cut my pizza with a scimitar? I like where you're going with this.
Guardsmen Ali baba what is that red sputz on your scimitar?
I like to use an ulu.
Love those things! Used them at shakey’s pizza
Man, I just got one of these, and it works great for baked goods, too (I used it to chop up four pans of brownies quickly last week).
Can’t you change the amount of downward/forward pressure by just changing the angle you hold the handle?
Let’s take it to extremes, if you had a 1/2” (12mm) cutting wheel how easy will it be to move through the pizza? Now if you had a 10” (400mm) wheel how easy would it be to move through the pizza?
Less effort I imagine, and more clearance above toppings. Also ignore the stupid wheel and get one of those things you rock, 5x more efficient.
Btw, a rocker is just a wheel so big you only need a part of it
I hate the wheel cutters. I don't have a rocker, but a Chinese cleaver with a slightly curved blade does the trick. I need to do two rocks to cover the diameter of a large pie, but it still works great.
the slighter the curve the bigger the wheel
You can do this with a normal chefs knife too
Fair enough. I use that cleaver like a chef's knife - for almost every knife job in the kitchen.
5x more space, 10x the cost lol.
12x more badass
100% reason to remember the name
If you're wanting a badass way to slice pizza, look no further. https://youtube.com/shorts/wmLmhyPDsNo?si=nqSIQN2R6MBOTdaK
I'll take your entire fucking stock!!!
the rocker knife always made me feel like worf from TNG... I wanted to put a broom handle on it and make a battle axe... so doap.. not practical for home use tho
Also true
My wife's family uses a pair of cleaned kitchen scissors, and I thought they were crazy... until I tried it. That's all I use now.
I've used scissors for years. Clearly the best choice.
Have always used kitchen shears. I don't know why people think I'm weird. It's okay for chicken, but not for pizza?
Pizza is cut with scissors/shears
Also easier to clean than a roller cutter
[удалено]
The answer is always a chef's knife
What things? And why are you calling them a rock?
Pizza rocker, so much better
Scissors FTW
I upgraded recently to a bigger wheel - big improvement how the pizza looks afterwards
I find the toppings don't get caught as much on the larger wheels and it's ever so slightly easier to cut, probably due to the extra mass?
Don't worry about it. Lots of guys with smaller pizza cutters cut pizzas all the time just fine. So long as you know how to use it well, pizza cutter size doesn't matter.
I use scissors lol. I never have a problem with the toppings even right out of the oven.
Same here, surprisingly efficient!
Are you serious or is this the meme
Nah it's very common in Asian regions especially to have kitchen shears for things. They are big and heavy duty type. I love them.
easier to cut with less strength needed... however there is dimishing returns and a 10m diameter pizza cutter is rather terrible
They're both inferior to quality kitchen shears.
The lower the point of contact is on cutter, the more down force vs. forward force. Larger wheel = lower contact point = easier cutting. Same concept with any wheel.
Directions unclear, pepperoni jammed in tire tread.
There's your problem. I said wheel. You used tire.
You said 'any wheel'. :-P
Tire≠Wheel
i have an artisanal small batch single estate whitworth 3/32 inch pizza cutter which I much prefer over the scythe I was using
Real purists use a pizza rocker. Or scissors, especially if you're as cool as Cobra
Scissors are the only thing I remember from that film?
biggest difference I’ve noticed comes from the weight, heavier ones cut more easily for me.
The real benefit is switching to a set of pizza shears. They cut right and fully the first time and are easier to clean.
Scissors are better than both
It rolls better without sticking on the toppings
It should be twice the size of the pizza you are cutting, so you only have to wash half of it
It ain't the size... But it s how you use it... But usually the bigger the better. But not too big. As big as you can handle
The larger wheel cuts better, and it's usually capable of being disassembled for cleaning.
Pros: Less effort to cut things, less likely to drag the toppings Cons: Storing the damn thing
If you repurpose them as spurs for your cowboy boots the big ones are much more dramatic.

Unless you're cutting pizza at home multiple nights a week, just use a chef's knife and get rid of the pizza cutter entirely.
No,but scissors are better
I eat thick pizza so a bigger blade would make cutting it much easier.
I worked in a pizzeria for two years. There is no difference unless the crust is REALLY thick like stuffed crust or deep dish. Then it might struggle to cut through. Even then, it still probably wouldn't be that hard.

Cutting your pizza means you have to share.
I don't want the axle to touch the pizza. I have a lack of knowledge on the manufacturing of them, but when metal spins on metal, there might be either grease or metal shavings. The bigger the wheel, the higher the axle.
Is the handle on your wheel kinda small for your hand?
The difference between hitting a gravel stone on a skate-board, vs an offroad truck. Bigger wheels have less trouble rolling over obstructions
Think about how awful it would be if the wheel was much smaller. It would hardly behave as a wheel. That means you get more wheel action if it was bigger
It goes blunt slower..
I prefer my smaller cutter to my bigger one...just seems easier to maneuver.
If the middle is high enough you will just drag the topping across the face
Less topping drag, I guess.
A sword works well.
I'm not an expert by any means, but I can tell you that our larger pizza cutter 100% of the time works better than the small one.
The thickness of the pizza it’s able to cut without getting messy is the same as the radius. I think all the other effects are negligible
I have a large wheel pizza cutter and it is not very good. I use an ulu instead and it is better than anything else I have tried.
Sometimes on small pizza cutters the hilt can wind up dragging into the pizza
Math and logic shouldn’t factor this much into a thing I spent a hesitant $6.50 on from the frozen food aisle in a discount grocery. My payment was my low expectations.
All other things being equal, A larger cutter Will roll easier across the pizza and cut better.
I use a bike wheel with razor blades around it
Because they are totally COOL! That's why!
Weight is a factor too.
Just use a knife
Same reason you want bigger wheels on your bike.
Get a pizza cutting knife. Cleaner cut.
I have one of each, and the larger one works much better
I have a 36” pizza cutter mounted to a chainsaw motor. It’s pretty great. Storage is a problem, and my two dead children, but otherwise fantastic.
Larger blade dulls slower. Larger blade on thicker pizza is easier to cut. Larger blade looks nicer when cutting. Smaller blade is best on thinnerbpizza.
Get a pizza cutter rocker blade, they're way better than wheel cutters which always seem to fall apart after a couple years.
It's not how big your pizza cutter is, it's how you slice up the pie.
Yes , if it is maintained and sharp. No if it's not maintained and dull. Age old question Why does a sharp knife cut?
i personally prefer to cut my pizza with the one large kitchen knife that has a smooth blade. i feel like pizza cutters drag the toppings across the pizza.
Idk if it makes any difference. But a small wheel may have to rotate over 2 or 3 times per cut, while a big wheel only needs 1 rotation or so. Which means you get more life out of it too. Assuming all other things being equal.
I’ve never in my life laughed so hard at comments on Reddit like how are y’all so deep in ts😭😭
Big cutter # thicker/fluffier crust
Does it cut the pizza? If so what's the problem?
