Our Story
When the COVID-19 pandemic started, my wife and I panicked. Just like everyone else, we began buying a bunch of frozen items from the supermarket and packing our freezer. One of the things we wanted to stock up on was pizza. The thought of going a few weeks or, dare I say, months without our favorite food made us stock up on frozen pizzas that we could just heat up in a flash. Were they convenient? Yes. But what we forgot was that frozen supermarket pizza is... not good. It made me disappointed at a time when food was supposed to comfort me.
I asked myself, how do we get a fresh pizza experience without having to go out or wait for delivery? Then it hit me: we learn how to make pizza at home.
A lot of people assume that pizza is hard to make. But after some trial and error, I quickly realized that the hardest part about making pies like your favorite pizzeria is getting the dough just right. Once I had the process down and developed my classic and signature sourdough recipes, I wanted to share it with the world. I wanted everyone to be able to make delicious, quality pizza at home, too (and I wanted to get those sad frozen pizzas out of everyone’s freezer).
And so, Yerr Pizza Box was born. We’re proud to bring you our own artisan dough, sauce, and mozzarella cheese, all homemade, coming straight out of Jersey and right to your door. YERRRRRRR!
The source of our sauce
Our tomato sauce is a family recipe that has been passed down from generation to generation. It all starts with the luscious San Marzano tomato from the Gulf of Naples in the Campania region of Italy. Grown in the shadows of Mt Vesuvius, San Marzano tomatoes have a perfect combination of sweetness and acidity.
