Unibest UBT31 pizza cutter review

The cheapest cutter here that still has a moulded grip and a finger guard, the two things that make a sharp wheel safe to use. The budget pick, with a handle that will outlast nothing else.

What does the money actually buy?

At the bottom of this category you usually get a bare steel wheel on a bare steel stick, and nothing else. This has two features that matter more than the price gap suggests.

A moulded grip. You push a wheel cutter forward, away from your body, with hands that have just handled a pizza. Polished steel gives you nothing to hold at that moment. A textured moulded handle does, and it is the difference between control and a slip.

A guard between the wheel and your fingers. It is the detail budget cutters skip, and it is the one that keeps your knuckles out of the blade when the wheel catches on a crust.

How does it cut?

It is a small wheel, so it rolls rather than presses, and rolling drags. On a thin crust with modest toppings it cuts cleanly in two or three passes. On a deep-dish with a heavy load you will see the cheese shift, and that is the point where a rocker blade is simply the better tool.

Its real strength is elsewhere: it is light and easy to steer one-handed, which makes it good on pastry strips, quesadillas and tray bakes cut into squares. Those are all jobs a 14-inch rocker cannot do neatly.

Where will it fail first?

The handle. A moulded plastic grip is joined to the steel shank rather than forged in one piece, and that joint absorbs all the twisting force when you lean into a thick crust. It is not a flaw so much as the design of every cutter at this level. If you mainly cut thin crusts it will likely never matter.

The other gap is information: no wheel diameter is published, so you cannot check it against a large pizza before ordering.

Is it sulit?

Around ₱64 as of August 20, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. That is the lowest in this roundup, and the record behind it is real rather than thin: 1K+ sold with 166 ratings at 4.8. For a cutter that will be used a handful of times a month, this is the sensible amount to spend.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you want a cutter that works, does not slip, and does not cost much, and you cut thin crusts more often than deep-dish. If you press hard through thick crusts regularly, buy a one-piece steel cutter or a rocker.
