About Us

In the early 1900s, the Grandpa Pete’s family came to America from the quaint town of Alcamo in Sicily, Italy. The Serros settled in Brooklyn, New York, bringing with them their Sicilian heritage and a rich tradition of family and food. 

It was in Brooklyn that Pete Serro opened and ran a successful specialty bakery for more than twenty years. He then worked in the culinary department at the University of Hofstra before becoming a chef at Pollace’s Resort in Catskill, NY. He spent thirty years bringing his passion for quality food to the guests of Pollace’s Resort. For Grandpa Pete, the love of family and the love of food have always been related. He learned his recipes from his mother and grandmother and found great joy in being able to share them with his own children. 

Grandpa Pete’s youngest son Charlie — along with his wife and children — began jarring his father’s Sunday Sauces.  It is now with our great pleasure to bring the Italian tradition of Sunday Sauce to your family’s dinner table. Our sauces are made in small batches with all natural ingredients, as they were originally prepared by Grandpa Pete himself.

Grandpa Pete’s Sunday Sauce is sold in various locations and events across New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut.
