Summary
This video reviews a pair of pizza scissors used for cutting homemade pizza and quesadillas. The host explains that pizza scissors aren't necessary if you only eat delivery pizza, but are useful for anyone who cooks pizza or quesadillas at home.
If pizza only means ordering in, skip these. But if you’re making pizza or quesadillas at home with any regularity, *pizza scissors solve a real problem. You get clean cuts, safer handling near a hot pan, won’t scratch your pan, and a built-in serving trick.
Pizza Scissors
Why Use Pizza Scissors
Pizza scissors showed up recently on one of those “things that don’t belong in your kitchen” lists, and I understand that if the only order in. The pizza is already sliced into eight neat triangles before it hits your table, then a dedicated cutting tool is dead weight in a drawer. But, if you make your own pizza, or buy frozen pizza then you need to cut it. Pizza wheels have a nasty habit of either not cutting through the crust completely or scratching your pizza pan. They’re not another gadget that takes up room in your drawer, they’re useful for food you need to cut or slice, pizza, quesadillas, our no-bake Strawberry Tiramisu, etc. Pizza scissors go from “unnecessary gadget” to “why didn’t I have these sooner.”
PROS and CONS
Pros
- Clean, controlled cuts through cheese and toppings without dragging or tearing
- Shape keeps hands away from the hot pan while cutting
- Wide open blades double as a mini spatula for lifting slices onto a plate
- Comes apart for thorough cleaning
- Versatile beyond pizza — great for quesadillas too
- Will not scratch your pan
Cons
- Not worth owning if your only pizza experience is pre-sliced delivery
- Best hand-washed rather than run through the dishwasher, like most kitchen blades
- One more single-purpose-ish tool taking up drawer space if you don’t cook pizza/quesadillas often
Why You Should Get This
The case for pizza scissors isn’t about replacing a knife for convenience — it’s about what they do better. The scissor action gives cleaner cuts than sawing with a knife, especially through melted, stretchy cheese that tends to drag and tear rather than slice. The handle and blade geometry is designed to keep your hand well clear of the hot pan surface, so there’s a real safety upside over reaching in with a knife. And there’s a genuinely surprising bonus: opened up, the wide blades work like a mini spatula, letting you lift and move a slice straight from pan to plate in one motion instead of needing a separate tool. For anyone who regularly makes pizza or quesadillas at home, that combination of clean cuts, safer handling, and built-in serving trick is hard to argue with.
In-Depth Review
Design and Build
The scissors feature a black and white soft-grip handle design with two separate finger loops, built for a secure hold during cutting. The blades are wide stainless steel, tapering to a point, and the pivot design allows the tool to fully separate into two pieces for cleaning — a nice touch for getting into every crevice around the joint, which is normally the hardest part of any scissor-style tool to clean properly.
Performance
Where these earn their keep is texture handling. Melted mozzarella and tomato toppings on a homemade pizza don’t cut cleanly with a standard knife — you end up dragging cheese and disturbing the toppings. The scissor action shears through instead of pulling, keeping slices intact and toppings where they belong. The same logic applies to a folded quesadilla, where a knife can squish the filling out while scissors control the cut precisely.
Safety and Ergonomics
The blade and handle shape is designed to keep fingers away from a hot pan surface during cutting, which is a small but real advantage over reaching in with a chef’s knife close to a hot pan or stone.
The Spatula Trick
Opened fully, the wide blades are large enough to slide under a cut slice and lift it directly onto a plate — effectively doubling as a spatula. It’s not something advertised as a headline feature, but it’s one of the more genuinely useful surprises of owning a pair.
Cleaning
The two-piece design comes apart easily for cleaning. As with most kitchen blades, hand-washing rather than dishwasher cycles is the safer bet for maintaining the edge over time.
Bottom Line
You know, even if you do get your pizza ordered in, sometimes the slices are not cut deeply enough, or they’re just not the right size. Ever wanted to share a slice of pizza with a loved one? What happens when you try to cut it with a knife or tear it? A mess? That’s right! So, yes, pizza scissors are a good thing to have.

Good afternoon.
And welcome to the Good Plate’s kitchen.
Today, I would like to talk to you about pizza scissors.
Yes, pizza scissors.
Why doesn’t anybody want pizza scissors?
You know what?
If you’re just going and buying pizza from, you know, the local pizza delivery,
you don’t need pizza scissors because the guy at the pizza shop, guess what?
He probably already has something that’s your pizza for you and it’s perfect.
But, if you make your own pizza, or if you make quesadillas or anything
else like that, it’s really nice to have something to cut it with.
Now, I have pizza many times in a pizza pan.
And then when I take the pizza cutter and cut the pizza, guess what?
I leave a cut mark in my pan and I don’t want to do that.
That’s why I was kind of like, okay, I know this is silly.
I’m going to buy pizza scissors.
You know what? I’m so glad I did.
Because the pizza scissors are shaped in a way.
They go under the crust and the easily cut the crust
and the cut whatever else is on your mushrooms.
sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese, whatever you got.
Please no pineapple or ham.
We’ll talk about that later.
Anyway, we like that.
Not only that, these pizza scissors, the way that they open up and take the
pizza slice from the pan directly to the plate.
So they’re not falling all over the place.
I’m telling you, if you make your own pizza, if you make your quesadillas,
Or anything like that, you really want pizza scissors.
And these ones that I have are the best because they come apart.
So they’re easily, you can clean them even when they get cheese inside the blades.
So you can take them apart and clean them.
Now, are they dishwasher safe? Probably.
I don’t put things in the dishwasher, especially
anything in cuts because dishwashers are
not nice to knives.
So there’s my recommendation, get yourself a pair of pizza scissors.
And we’ll see you next time on the Good Plate.
Remember, every forward, every flavorful.
Yum, yum!
