Her Story

When Marie married into the Pizzio family, she brought the recipe with her.

It was 1937. Marie married Dominick Pizzio in Burlington, New Jersey, and the recipe — handed down from her grandmother — became ours. Every Thursday. Every Sunday. 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 gravy.

Other brands sell sauce. We sell something that's been on a stovetop since World War II. There's a difference, and you can taste it.

01.

A person, not a logo.

Other jars feature a chef who endorses them or a restaurant that licenses its name. Ours features Marie, and a recipe that has been handed down for generations.

02.

East Coast craft. West Coast home.

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

03.

A reason to slow down.

We don't just want to feed you. We want you to put the phones down, pass the bread, and stay at the table a little longer.
