It is advisable to allow a few minutes for the pizza to cool before cutting; from experience, the combination of cheese and sauce right out of the oven is comparable to molten lava. When you feel comfortable that the pizza will not scorch you, it is time to cut it. If you plan on making pizzas frequently, I recommend investing in a pizza rocker knife. Imagine a line that cuts across the pizza directly in half. Then, set the end of the blade on the far side of the pizza and quickly rock the blade towards you along that line. Next, rotate the pizza 90 degrees and follow the previous step, so that there are four pieces. To finish, cut each of the remaining quarters in half. If you do plan on using a pizza wheel, do not roll the wheel all the way across the pizza, as this will result in your toppings sliding out of place and potentially off of the pizza entirely. Instead, firmly set your pizza wheel into the crust and roll the blade back and forth approximately an inch. Continue this following the same procedure as with the rocker
