Let’s face it. Pizza and pasta are powerful in both profitability and versatility for your menu. They are also universal in their appeal, with pizza growing on restaurant menus by 6%* in just the last year. Saving time in preparing a dish is the next step in success. Red Gold, Redpack, and Tuttorosso fully prepared sauces are great solutions.

Red Gold and Redpack prepared sauces are oh so versatile.

All brands are All-American and family owned. Red Gold partnerswith family farmers to raise their special Roma-style tomatoes. But they also make great fully prepared pizza, marinara, and spaghetti sauces under each brand name that saves time while assuring quality and consistency day after day.

“Our marinara sauces are smooth sauces with tomato pieces, and wonderful Italian spice notes,” says Red Gold’s Megan Rhetts, Foodservice Marketing Manager. “We cook the traditional Italian sauce with bits of sweet deep-red tomatoes that blend with the spices for a delightful aroma and taste.” Products are available in #10 cans as well as 105 oz. plastic pouches.

Nationwide, pasta is one of the most menued and most versatile items. According to Datassential, 50% of all restaurants offer at least one pasta dish on their menu. On average restaurants are offering 10 menu options for pasta with spaghetti and lasagna noodles being the most popular. When it comes to ingredients with the pasta, here is what Datassential found.

Red sauce, alfredo and marinara are the most popular sauces on pasta. Datassential also ranks other ingredients in menu penetration.  

Red Gold is the #1 Supplier in Broadline Distribution in Marinara, Spaghetti, and Sauce/Puree** under multiple brands according to Circana, with most of its shipments going to restaurant operators other than true ‘Italian’ restaurants due to marinara’s versatility. “It’s not just about pasta,” says Rhetts. “It’s a top dipping sauce and sauce for sandwiches. That’s why we offer our marinara sauce in portion control packaging for takeout, drive-through, delivery, and catering.”

Red Gold’s 1 oz. Dunk Cups is one of its best-selling items because of its versatility across so many service options, like dunking cheese bread, tenders, and pizza crust.

“We are so confident of our fully prepared sauces, we invite any restaurant operator to try our fully prepared sauces for free,” Rhetts concludes. “Simply send us a request, and we will ship it to you.”
