Pizza Scissors

Product Information

Fante’s Cousin Gilda’s Pizza Scissors will easily cut through all types of pizza and flatbread. They are easy to use without any complicated mechanism, perfect for all the family. One of the most recurring problems users seem to have is the difficulty using these Paderno scissors. The blades themselves are quite long, but the actual cutting surface is only around four inches long, which is tiny for pizza. The scissors are also not exceptionally strong. However, as with most things, you get what you pay for. Scissors at the low end of the budget may not be as robust and may not last as long.

Although pizza is delicious, likely, it is not the only food on the menu. Pizza scissors are pretty versatile (compared to other pizza cutters) and can be used to cut different types of food, including quesadillas, flatbreads, and even sandwiches. Shout out to kitchen scissors for their versatility! What to Look for When Choosing Pizza Scissors The scissors feature a cranked handle design that allows you to easily slip the blade beneath the pizza base and get a clean cut without having to hold the scissors at odd angles for your wrist. The blades themselves are also detachable for easy cleaning and maintenance, and they're even dishwasher safe! Don't limit yourself to cutting pizza, though, as these are perfect for anything vaguely pizza-shaped, such as pies, quiches, or tarts. This ties into its next feature, which sets it apart from the previous items. Attached to the base of the bottom stainless-steel blade, you'll find a nylon base that is incredibly heat-resistant. The purpose of this nylon base is to protect your pans and plates from scratches while you cut, allowing you to use the kitchen shears directly on those surfaces without worrying about causing damage. So much easier to use than a pizza wheel, just slide the long, angled stainless steel blades under your pizza and cut cleanly through the crust, cheese, toppings and all for easy portioning without making a mess. That way, the blade will be safe and stay sharp as long as possible by preventing it from bumping into other hard surfaces.

But where did pizza scissors come from? Well, it isn’t entirely clear who used them first, but in pizza shops in Italy they have been using them for years to serve pizza. And there is a very clever reason for this!

While you can use some kitchen scissors to cut your pizza, pizza scissors are designed for cutting pizzas. The base kind of lifts the pizza off of the pizza stone and the blade then meets the base to cut the pizza cleanly through. The only problem with these scissors that I experienced is that the handle is not very ergonomic. 3. Triangle Pizza Scissors ProsLet’s think about what we’re planning to do here.
