Abstract
A pizza cutter has a hollow semi-circular shaped handle having a convex curved radiused top edge to facilitate use and reduce hand stress. A removable cutter wheel has outwardly extending axles having protrusions on the outer ends thereof that have a snap fit relationship with recesses on the inner surfaces of the handle whereby the cutter wheel can easily be snapped into and out of the handle for cleaning. The cutter wheel has a dual inner and outer axle assembly engaging complementary shaped bearing surfaces on the handle to distribute pressure exerted on the wheel and keep the cutter wheel aligned with the handle when cutting movement is applied to the cutter.
