At Pastorelli Food Products, we’ve been crafting authentic pizza sauces in Chicago since 1952- when we invented pizza sauce in a can. Today, we help pizzerias, restaurants, and foodservice operators nationwide create custom pizza sauce formulations that match their signature flavor, save on costs, and ensure consistency across locations.

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s time to switch from off-the-shelf products to a custom-formulated pizza sauce, here are the key signs to look for:

1. You’re Constantly Tweaking Store-Bought Sauce

If you find yourself adding extra spices, herbs, or other ingredients to a fully prepared pizza sauce to “make it your own,” it’s time to consider a custom pizza sauce formulation. We can help you build that flavor profile right into the sauce with no extra prep needed.

2. You Want to Eliminate Labor Costs Without Losing Flavor

Making homemade pizza sauce in-house can be labor-intensive. A custom sauce lets you keep the same recipe and flavor you love while eliminating the time and staffing costs of making it from scratch.

3. You Need Quality and Consistency Across Multiple Locations

As your pizzeria expands, ensuring every location serves the same high-quality pizza can be a challenge. With private label pizza sauce from Pastorelli, every batch is made to your exact specifications, so every pizza tastes the same, no matter where it’s made.

4. You Want to Save Money Without Sacrificing Taste

If you already love your pizza sauce but want to cut costs, we can adjust your formulation or packaging to deliver the same flavor at a lower price point.

5. You’re Looking for Eco-Friendly Packaging Options

Switching from traditional cans to eco-friendly pouches reduces waste, storage space, and shipping costs while still delivering your custom pizza sauce safely and fresh.

6. You’re Searching for a “Better Sauce” for Your Pizzas

If your current pizza sauce isn’t quite hitting the mark, we can work with you to create a new formula that enhances your crust, cheese, and toppings for a signature taste customers will remember.
