Sunday Dinner Shouldn't
Taste Like a Compromise.
Most sausage is mass-produced, packed with fillers, and seasoned with pre-ground dust that lost its flavor a year ago. You read the label and there are twelve ingredients — half of them you can't pronounce.
Our sausage is different.

Why Your Sauce
Will Taste Like It Should.
In 1945, Ernest Ricci opened a small butcher shop in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania. He brought with him a spice blend from his family's hometown of Sulmona, Italy — and a stubborn refusal to change it.
Eight decades later, not a single ingredient has been altered. The same hand-mixed spices — real paprika, whole fennel seed, no ground shortcuts. The same proprietary grind. Small batches, all natural, no additives, no preservatives. The same sausage that made Ricci's a Pittsburgh institution.
Today, three generations of master sausage-makers still run the counter — and for the first time in our history, we're shipping to doorsteps across the country.

Inspected
Est. 1973
USDA Inspected Every Day Since 1973.
It's the same stamp you look for at the meat case — the mark that says careful, inspected sausage worth putting on your table. We've held that standard for fifty-plus years without missing a day. Ricci's is one of only two USDA-inspected sausage makers in Pittsburgh with its own retail counter — and the only one that also cooks. Same standard, every link.
