![]() With a single firm push, the pizza cutter will easily snap through the crust, whether it’s a bubbly Neapolitan slice or a thick and chewy Sicilian pie. Instead of rolling a wheel forward to cut across the width of the pizza, you simply rock the blade to one side while continuing to apply downwards pressure. All of the force you’re applying will travel straight into the pizza where it belongs. To cut your pizza you just grab the handles and push straight down. Now, consider rocking pizza cutter, a simple tool consisting of one long curved blade with handles, either running the length of the blade or rising up at 90 degree angles on either side. Instead of accomplishing both cuts, you accomplish neither. This effectively halves your force, splitting it between the two directions. The problem is that the conventional pizza wheel asks us to cut downwards and forwards at the same time by holding the handle at about 45 degrees. ![]() ![]() If you were struggling to move the wheel forward, however, you’d aim for a shallower angle, dropping the handle down and setting it up like a pool player holding a cue. A steeper angle equals greater downwards force. Intuitively, you lift the handle up so that it forms a steeper angle relative to the blade, and you can press down directly to make the cut. ![]() Imagine this: Your pizza crust is thick, and you’re struggling to cut through it with a pizza wheel. The best way to cut pizza is with a rocking blade. ![]()
