Professional Pizza Cutter Wheel by Gi.Metal
The Gi.Metal pizza cutter wheel with removable blade (manufacturer code 02645) is the standard slicing tool of professional pizzerias. The tempered stainless steel blade has a diameter of 10 cm, the total length of the tool is 23 cm, and the handle is made of high-resistance polymer. Sharpened on both sides, the blade cuts through pizza in a single pass without dragging mozzarella or toppings.
Why the Removable Blade Matters
In a professional kitchen the cutter wheel touches food hundreds of times per service. The Gi.Metal removable blade system lets you separate the blade from the handle in seconds, with no tools, for complete hygienic cleaning in line with HACCP good practice. The same system allows the blade to be resharpened or replaced when worn, so the tool lasts for years of intensive use instead of being thrown away.
The Manufacturer: Gi.Metal, Montale (Tuscany)
Gi.Metal was founded in 1986 as a craft workshop and is today the world reference for pizza peels and pizzeria equipment, headquartered in Montale, in the province of Pistoia, Tuscany. The company produces over 1,000 different items exported wherever pizza is made, and its tools are the choice of professional pizzaioli worldwide.
Professional Uses
Portioning round pizzas of 33 cm in 4, 6 or 8 slices with one continuous pass per cut. Cutting pan pizza and pizza al taglio into squares directly on the tray: the 10 cm blade clears high crusts cleanly. Slicing focaccia, calzoni and flatbreads at the counter. Trimming rolled dough and pastry sheets in the bakery section.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Do not run the wheel back and forth: one firm pass per cut keeps the topping in place. Do not leave the blade assembled in the dishwasher basket: dismantle it so residues do not stay between blade and fork. Do not use a worn blade: a resharpened edge cuts the crust instead of crushing it.
Care and Maintenance
Dismantle the blade after each service, wash and dry it, and check the edge weekly. The stainless steel blade can be resharpened on both sides; replacement blades are available, so the handle never needs to be discarded.
