Omcan 5" Pizza Cutter R-Style - Black Handle

The 5-inch wheel cuts cleanly through 12 to 16-inch pizzas in a single stroke, making it the standard size for most pizzeria operations. For larger pies or thick deep-dish, cooks often switch to rocker knives.

The R-style grip lets the cook press straight down on the wheel using palm pressure, which slices through crust and toppings without dragging. Straight-handle cutters tend to slip sideways under the same pressure.

For thinner pies it performs perfectly, but deep-dish above 1.5 inches usually needs a long-blade rocker knife to clear thick crust in one cut. Pair with other cutlery options for varied pizza menus.

Hand-wash with hot soapy water immediately after use, then dry and store on a magnetic rack or in a sleeve. Running it through a dish machine wears the bearings and dulls the wheel faster.

The wheel spins freely on a sharp axle, so always store with the blade guarded or upright on a magnetic strip. Never use it to pry or split frozen items, since lateral force bends the axle and ruins the cutter.

Daily commercial use typically holds an edge for several months before the wheel needs replacement or sharpening on a stone. Wipe the wheel between pies to prevent caked-on cheese from dulling the edge.

Round out the station with a peel, dough docker, and screens from the bakery equipment catalogue, plus a knife storage rack to keep the cutter and blades organized.
