Pizza cutter / pizza wheel

If you make your own pizza, this is a fun tool to have. Yes, it will make you feel like you’re in a real pizza shop. But it’s not a crucial tool to own. You can skip owning a pizza cutter and use your chef’s knife instead to cut your pizza. Neither tool will improve, or detract from, the flavor of your homemade pizza masterpiece.
