About Us

Our deeply rooted family food heritage reaches back to mid-19th century Italy when Amedeo Pastorelli founded a food distribution business near Rome. Continuing that tradition, our family then became partners in one of the first tomato canning operations in California, facilitating North America’s first crushing of olives to make olive oil, and also became the first company to create and introduce fully prepared pizza sauce in 1952. This Italian Country’s heritage has resulted in products made with the highest quality ingredients gathered from fresh fields. And now, five generations in, Pastorelli Foods continues our legacy of innovation in the heart of downtown Chicago, where we have been manufacturing high-quality foods since the 1950s and are most famous for our line of pizza products.
