ZiiPa Aquino: Pizza Cutter with Acacia Handle

The Aquino is a pizza cutter from ZiiPa built in the form of a knife, with a stainless steel cutting wheel mounted at the tip of the blade. You hold it and use it like a knife, and the knife-form body sits naturally in the hand and gives you more control and leverage than a standard wheel cutter on a handle. The wheel at the tip does the cutting work cleanly through thin Neapolitan bases and thicker home oven pizzas. At 22.5cm long, with an acacia handle fixed by two rivets, it's built to a noticeably better finish than most cutters at this price. Knife-Form Body, Wheel at the Tip A standard pizza wheel cutter puts the cutting wheel at the end of a short handle, which gives you limited control over the cut. The Aquino's knife form changes that. The blade gives you a full hand grip and the leverage to steer the wheel precisely, which is useful on a pizza fresh off a 400°C stone where the toppings are still shifting. The stainless steel wheel is sharp from new and cuts cleanly in a single pass.

The handle is fixed to the cutter body with two rivets and gives a secure grip during use. Like all wood-handled kitchen tools, it should be kept out of the dishwasher and dried promptly after washing.
