Her Story

Marie married Dominick, and she brought the recipe with her.

It was 1937. Marie & Dominick Pizzio had been married in Burlington, New Jersey, and the gravy recipe handed down from her grandmother (Nonna Agunste) was perfected. Served hot every Thursday, every Sunday, and every Holiday. Without fail.

Finally, our family's recipe is yours to enjoy.

The Difference

On the West Coast, we don't have a proper tomato gravy.

Other brands sell sauce that requires additional seasoning to make it pass the taste test. Our gravy is perfectly seasoned ready for added protein, or by itself. The same recipe that predates World War II, now available direct to your kitchen.

01.

A real family recipe

Other sauces include excess oils or added preservatives. Our gravy is cooked and filled the old-fashioned way.

02.

East Coast craft. West Coast home.

Made in Clovis California with the patience East Coast Italians demanded. The first proper gravy jarred this side of the country.

03.

A reason to slow down.

Mangia like the Italians do. Leave the modern distractions behind.
