Dexter Russell P177A-PCP Sani-Safe White Handle 4" Pizza Cutter

I couldn't stand that the pizza place that I was working for was using a $5 cutter and I bought this as a gift for the restaurant and now nobody knows how we lived without it.

This is a very well-made, well-balanced pizza cutter, but it is very large!! I guess I didn't read the fine print, but even so, I will not be returning it, as it works so well and may be the best I have ever had. Don't envision ever having to replace, as it is of such quality. Easy to clean, VERY sharp, and sails through pizza crust, and I have had it for about a year. There are no sign of rusting - and it is used at least once a week here. Just know that it is a monster pie cutter when you buy it!!

Update on 12/24/2018: I still love this pizza cutter! I've used it almost every day since the day I posted this review, and so yes that means I have cleaned it that many times as well and there's still absolutely no rust or any other issues. I'm able to avoid rust because I make sure it's completely dry when I'm done cleaning it (which isn't hard to do at all). The only reason I'm mentioning this is, I see others reporting problems with theirs rusting, and just as I suspected it's because they don't make sure it's completely dry when they are done cleaning it. I bought the Dexter Russell P177A to replace the KitchenAid Pizza Wheel (https://www.amazon.com/KitchenAid-KC113OHOBA-Pizza-Wheel-Black/dp/B000W7FGFA). I've had the KitchenAid pizza cutter for many years, possibly 10 or more. The only reason why I'm replacing the KitchenAid Pizza Wheel is, water gets inside the handle because it's a 3-piece handle. It has one piece for the blade holder and finger guard, another for the main part of the handle, and then a 3rd piece for the big silver logo section. So, water gets in where the main part meets the part for the blade holder and finger guard which is very difficult to avoid, and it will also get in where the main part meets the silver logo part if I decide to clean the entire handle. I'm absolutely tired of this! I am otherwise very happy with it. Even to this day it still performs quite well for being old. If the handle were waterproof or if it were a solid 1-piece design, I wouldn't have had any desire to replace it. So, I shopped around in an effort to find the absolute best pizza wheel type of cutter that has a solid 1-piece handle, much like this Dexter Russel pizza cutter as well as several others that look very similar. (some look identical) There are 5 reasons I chose the Dexter Russel P177A over all the others I found: 1. It's made in the U.S.A. 2. It has the best reviews 3. It has the NSF Certification because of the perfect impervious and sanitary blade-to-handle seal 4. It has a high-carbon stainless steel precision ground Dexter Russell proprietary blade. No other manufacturer makes such a claim about their blade. 5. It has high-quality tough stainless steel washers. The KitchenAid Pizza Wheel has plastic or nylon washers, and one time I accidentally dropped it and immediately the washers busted apart rendering the pizza cutter totally unusable. I ended up having to cut my pizza that night with a knife. All the other pizza wheel type cutters I could find here on Amazon have those cheap plastic or nylon washers. The ones that DO have steel or metal washers have too many bad reviews! I have already used my new Dexter Russell pizza cutter, and I'm extremely happy with it. If I had known that pizza cutters like this one existed, then I would have replaced my KitchenAid Pizza Wheel a long time ago. It is a crappy pizza cutter in comparison to this Dexter Russell pizza cutter. I would never be surprised to see any pizza restaurant relying on this pizza cutter. Everything just screams "the best", from the comfortable handle to the size of the wheel to the cutting performance of the wheel to the toughness of the design thanks to using tough steel washers. The blade is also extremely sharp and very hard, which results in amazing cutting performance. I also love that the blade doesn't reflect like a mirror. Instead, it looks like a precision-machined circular saw blade, which you can see in some of the photos of this pizza cutter. What's nice about this for me is, I no longer have to deal with the blade reflecting my bright lights right in my eyes when I lay it down on its side. So, I guess I had 3 things that I hated about my KitchenAid Pizza Wheel: the 3-piece handle design, the breakable washers, and a blade that reflects my bright lights right into my eyes when I lay it down on its side. I am also learning that the smaller size of the KitchenAid's blade (3") results in an inferior cutting performance and speed as well. Everything about this Dexter Russell pizza cutter is far superior, and I'm extremely glad I bought it.

The best pizza cutter on the market. Been using them for over 30 years.

Great pizza cutter! Easily cuts thru thick or thin pizzas much better than the small-wheel cutters. It's comfortable to hold and cleans up easily either washing by hand, or putting it in the dishwasher. This was a gift, but my original, identical, cutter is over 6 years old, and the wheel has never gotten loose or wobbly, and the screw holding it has never rusted. Definitely well made, and quite functional!
