  • Tastes exactly like the sauce at the pizzeria I grew up going to in Bergen County. Didn't expect that from a can.

  • I stopped simmering anything years ago. Open, spread, bake. My kids can't tell the difference and neither can I.

  • We use it behind the counter at our shop. Consistent every batch, which matters more than people think.
