People Have Opinions
About Their Sauce.
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.
