It must be a regional thing from what part of Italy your family comes from. Both sets of my grandparents and my dad were born in the Foggia area (Puglia) and they ALWAYS called it sauce never gravy. I’ve got a couple friends whose families call it gravy. All my aunts, uncles cousins etc all call it sauce. So did you have a pot of Sunday Sauce going today, with fresh bread for dunkin', provolone cheese on the side, and table wine to wash it down?

Don't I wish?? Those were the days my friend! Meatballs fried before they went into the sauce and we'd sneak one! Mom was pretty quick with that wooden spoon so you had to think fast!

Blackwater 53393 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 The New York/New Jersey, Italian part of my dad’s family all called it sauce and not one of them ever made meatballs!! They always added chunks of Italian Sausage that had been browned in a large iron skillet! Most of them were Sicilian, but some were from around Turin as well. EDIT: The only cook in the family who made meatballs was my mother, a hillbilly from Tennessee. Everyone liked ‘em, but they all swore that meatballs weren’t really Italian!!

My whole point was this is how most Italians ate pizza at home! It's got a couple different kinds of cheese, Parmesan and Romano and sauce. I don't appreciate your telling me my standards for pizza are low! What kind of remark is that?

It's terrific stuff. The sausage was a little too hot and spicy for me though, I prefer a milder version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there a difference in the thickness of their crust between the sausage chunk pizza and meatball pizza? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sauce wasn't used on pizza. Served over pasta, usually fettuccine or linguine. Pizza was always cracker thin, crispy crust with a sweet tomato sauce and mozzarella. Sometimes one of my aunts would throw on some pepperoni and my mom would put ground up Italian sausage on the ones she made. You wanted the crust to be just pliable enough to fold it in half so's you could eat it with one hand and hold your drink in the other!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I really miss the wheat dough. After trying to make GF crust from scratch many times, I just buy Freshetta GF with pepperoni and add salami, green bell pepper, onion and more mozzarella. You do what you have to. At least GF pasta is okay with sauce (either white or red). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
