This acacia wood pizza cutter is a matched set of a cutting wheel and a wooden serving board. You lift the pizza off the stone, place it on the board, slice it into wedges right there, and bring the whole board to the table. That saves a step and keeps the pizza hotter, since it doesn't move on to a cold plate.
Why this acacia wood pizza cutter works so well
A pizza knife or serrated blade often drags the toppings along with it. A round cutting wheel rolls through the crust in one motion and leaves the toppings exactly where they belong. The board underneath catches the cut, so you're not slicing on your worktop or on a pizza stone.
- Cutting wheel rolls through the crust without dragging the toppings
- Acacia wood is hard and dense, so the board absorbs little moisture
- Cut and serve on the same board, less washing up
- Works just as well for flatbread, focaccia and sheet pan dough
- Also handy on its own as a sharing board for sausage and cheese
How to use the set
Let a pizza from the kamado rest for half a minute first, so the cheese stays put. Place the cutting wheel at the edge and roll it across in one go, rather than sawing back and forth. Work from the centre outwards for neat, even slices.
Caring for the acacia wood
Wash the board by hand in lukewarm water with a little soap and dry it straight away. Don't put it in the dishwasher or leave it to soak: wood that stays wet for long can warp. A thin coat of neutral oil a few times a year keeps the colour rich and the surface sealed.
Bill's tipRinse the cutting wheel straight after use, before cheese and sauce have dried on. That saves scrubbing later and keeps the edge smooth.
If you bake pizza on the kamado often, also take a look at the 36cm pizza stone for a dry, crispy base. Want just the cutting wheel without the board? The Premium Line pizza cutter is a good alternative. You'll find the full range under knives and cutting boards.
