I’ve worked tirelessly to make my dream of Pizza Girl come to life. I got pretty far on my own and was stocked in all the finest supermarkets in California. I did all the tastings personally ....and was often in the factory in a hairnet jarring each bottle myself. It was a dream come true when I finally saw my family recipes, which I reimagined, finally on the shelves. I found so much joy when personally meeting every single customer that bought a jar during these tastings. It was truly fulfilling. Sadly, then the pandemic hit, and organic ingredients were quickly bought up by bigger companies. Add to that some personal issues, and I lost it all! Every jar of Pizza Girl sauce was sold in two days and I had to watch it being replaced by other products. It was a heartbreak like I have never experienced. I felt beyond defeated, but I also knew it was a really tough time for lots of people. When I was finally done feeling sorry for myself I reached deep down and decided to get up and get it together. I took 6 months of downtime to begin to figure out how to start again. I had nothing but a dream and a trademark but I am so grateful that the pandemic showed me what was important in my life and I was able to use the inspiration of my daughter to rebuild. I paused, then surrounded myself with like-minded partners and restructured from the ground up using all that I had learned, and a crazy determination. I decided I would only work with people who really have my back and share my belief and vision of Pizza Girl.
