Do people know local Italian restaurants will sell you sauce?

[Anonymous]

I didn't know this. Last night my husband was getting pick up and randomly asked if he could buy a container of meat sauce. They said sure, they do it all the time. They gave him a huge container and it was only about the same price as Rao's! Fresh and no preservatives.

It was probably Prego.

Or the cheapest.

We eat there all the time. We can taste it is their main house sauce, not some inferior off-menu sauce. This is a nice restaurant.

Man, dcum can be negative about anything.

That’s great, op, thank you for sharing. My family up in NY buys sauce from their local place regularly. It can be a good deal if it’s stuff you like.

Yep, most of the local places near us sell their sauce and if they sell pizza, their dough. It's great!

Rao's doesn't have preservatives either. Ever heard of canning?

Not restaurants, but A Litteri and Vace also sell great sauces.

Awesome, OP, thanks for passing this on!

Lol, what do you think they put in the container? It was still hot. It was obviously the standard sauce they use for all the meals. Some of y’all are so freakin’ cynical.

You think Rao’s shelf-stable jarred meat sauce is no different than a nice restaurant’s fresh meat sauce? Um, sure.

Why couldn't it just have been warmed up sauce? What do you think Pizza Hut puts in a container when you ask for extra sauce on the side?

Tell me you have never worked in a restaurant without telling me you have never worked in a restaurant. What do you think restaurants use for their tomato sauce -- fresh picked plum tomatoes? LOL. They are using canned tomatoes, passata, tomato paste, etc... Rao's ingredients are: Italian Whole Peeled Tomatoes, Olive Oil, Onions, Salt, Garlic, Basil, Black Pepper, Oregano. The canning process does nothing to damage the quality of the sauce. Personal preference is one thing, but there is no difference in the quality between Raos and a "nice" restaurant.
