KitchenAid Classic Pizza Wheel in Empire Red
This high-quality pizza cutter from KitchenAid is one that can be used for years to come. Crafted from rust-resistant stainless steel, it has a sharp rolling blade and a finger guard to protect your hands. It also has an ergonomically designed handle, which is angled for your comfort and simple cutting.
Ooni Pizza Turning Peel
Turning peels allow you to shift your pizza's position while keeping far away from the fiery heat inside, making it an essential for any at-home woodfire pizza oven. This one from specialists Ooni features a glass-reinforced nylon handle. It also has a non-stick effect for easy sliding beneath your pizza.
Pizza Peel and Cutter Set
If you're after something a bit easier, this peel features a smaller handle and a wide, quadrangular base – making for easy shifting within small ovens. It also comes with a 14-inch rocking cutter to help make clean cuts across the pizza's diameter.
Ooni 14" Perforated Pizza Peel
If you love your technical cooking, a perforated peel is a good choice for pizza-making. Perforated peels allow flour and semolina to fall away through the small holes, leading to less burnt residue remaining on the stone of the oven and reducing bitterness in the pizza base. This 14-inch one from Ooni has a long, strong handle for keeping an adequate distance from the oven and will work perfectly for any pizza connoisseur.
8-Inch Pizza Peel
If you're in the market for a peel but bristle at some of the price tags, this eight-inch option costs just $22.99. With a detachable plate, this one is easy to store away in the kitchen, while its 16-inch handle will keep you far from the oven.
Checkered Chef Pizza Cutter
With a super-sharp blade, this cutter is crafted to make easy slices with minimal effort. Perfect for cutting through toppings rather than pushing them off in the process, this is our favourite cutter for keeping your masterpiece intact.
Orblue Pizza Dough Docker
This nifty little tool is designed to prevent over-rising or blistering of the pizza dough. Dough dockers are also great to help ensure your pizzas remain consistent in texture and taste, which is a bonus for hosting pizza parties.
Ooni Koda 16 Pizza Oven Cover
Pizza ovens can be a real luxury to own and given they usually live outside, it's important to keep them protected. This cover is designed specifically for the Ooni Koda 16, but you can also grab one designed to fit an Ooni 12.
