Eighty-One Years on Pine Hollow Road.
Most sausage is mass-produced, packed with fillers, and seasoned with pre-ground dust that lost its flavor a year ago — a label full of things you can't pronounce.
Ground in Our Own Shop
Hand-mixed in small batches in McKees Rocks, every day — sweet and hot are each their own recipe.
All Natural
No fillers, no MSG, no additives, no preservatives. Natural casing. That's the whole list.
USDA-Inspected Since 1973
Inspected every day we run — the same federal stamp you look for at the meat case.
Sunday gravy
Brown the sausage and meatballs, then drop them into the sauce from the box and let it go low and slow. Serve over rigatoni with bread.
All week long
Sausage and peppers Monday. Meatball subs Wednesday. Stuffed peppers Friday. Sausage pizza Saturday. One box, a week of Italian dinners.
On the grill
Whole rope, coiled, over medium heat, turned once. Peppers and onions alongside, a good roll, and that's dinner.
Freezer strategy: everything ships frozen. Portion the sausage into 1 lb bags before it goes in the freezer, and pull what you need for any given dinner.
"Amazing sausage and meatball subs! Staff was great and inviting. Cannot wait to go back. Must stop and prices are great."
— Marc J., Google Reviews · McKees Rocks
"Love their sausages! Living in NC, it's hard to find truly great Italian food, so every time we come back to the Pittsburgh area, we make sure to stock up and bring some home with us."
— Dale P., Google Reviews · McKees Rocks
"If you haven't had hot sausage from this place, stop what you're doing and go get it. I will never get my sausage anywhere else now. The best sausage I've ever had!"
— Adam K., Google Reviews · McKees Rocks
"Best sausage in Pittsburgh! I've had the hot and sweet. Both are awesome... I've bought from them for years and will just keep doing so."
