Professional Stainless Steel Pizza Scissors 12 cm Blade — GI.METAL

Professional Pizza Scissors GI.METAL: cut directly in the tray

The GI.METAL pizza scissors are a stainless steel professional tool designed to portion pizza with a clean, fast and safe cut directly inside the baking tray. The 12 cm blade and 24 cm overall length, combined with a heat-resistant polymer handle, make them the everyday counter tool in pizzerias, restaurants and professional kitchens. The defining feature is the raised, rounded rear edge that does not interfere with the tray rim: you cut the pizza without removing it and without scratching the surface.

What pizza scissors are and why professionals use them

Pizza scissors are the modern alternative to the rolling wheel cutter and the long blade for portioning baked pizza. Compared with a wheel cutter, the scissors lift and cut at the same time, so the topping does not drag and the slice keeps its shape. They are especially valued for pizza in pala, pizza al taglio and pan pizza, where cutting inside the tray avoids transferring a hot, full tray onto a board. For Neapolitan-style round pizza they offer surgical control on the crust without crushing the cornicione.

The producer: GI.METAL, Italian world leader from Pistoia

GI.METAL was founded in 1986 as a small blacksmith workshop and has grown into the global benchmark for pizzeria tools, manufacturing from its plant in Montale, province of Pistoia, Tuscany. With a catalogue of around 800 items distributed to roughly 2,000 partners in over 85 countries, GI.METAL is an official supplier of the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (AVPN), the body that protects authentic Neapolitan pizza. Choosing GI.METAL means choosing tools designed by and for professional pizza makers.

Technical features and materials

The blade is made of high-quality stainless steel, resistant to corrosion and to daily intensive use, while the handle is moulded in high-resistance polymer that tolerates the heat of the counter and the dishwasher. The 12 cm blade delivers a long, even cut; the 24 cm overall length gives leverage and control. The raised rear edge keeps the lower blade tip clear of the tray border, allowing a flush cut without damaging trays or pans.

Professional uses in the kitchen

Use the scissors to portion pizza in pala into regular rectangles directly on the peel or board. Cut pizza al taglio inside the tray into uniform slices for the display counter. Portion pan and teglia romana pizza without lifting the hot tray. Trim and tidy the edges of focaccia and schiacciata. Quickly divide a round pizza into 6 or 8 slices at the pass with clean, repeatable cuts.

Pairings and complementary equipment

The pizza scissors complete a professional cutting and serving station alongside the GI.METAL pizza peels for baking and turning, the rolling pizza cutter for round pizzas, the aluminium pizza nets and the take-away pizza boxes. For the bench, pair them with dough scrapers and dough boxes to organise the whole pizza workflow with a single trusted brand.

Care and hygiene

Wash after each service with hot water and food-safe detergent; the stainless steel blade and polymer handle are easy to sanitise, ensuring full HACCP hygiene. Dry the blade to preserve its edge over time. The robust construction is built to withstand the intensive rhythm of professional service for years.
