In 1952, a salesman tried to sell canned spaghetti sauce to Joe and Anna Ragozzino, who owned a small grocery store in Meriden, Connecticut. After inspecting the product, Joe and Anna gently told the salesman to come back in one week to taste some "real" spaghetti sauce. The Ragozzinos put up six jars of the family recipe, gave two to the salesman and sold the remainder in the store.

From this innocent exchange and the idea of the Ragozzino's only son, Joseph, came the concept of custom Italian cuisine. Sauce production began in Anna's kitchen and quickly led to a "production line" in the basement. The idea caught on, and the present day, state-of-the-art facility was soon built.
