This is the way.
I believe that sauce was invented by a young woman that is a PSU grad as well. That store is a short ride from where I work.
West Pittston? Why, that's just across the river from Pittston....home of the greatest gravy ever tasted by one Joseph Vincent Paterno, when he stopped in to say hello to Mrs. Cefalo.....it was even better than Mrs. Cappelletti's.
This DeLuca kid better know what he is getting into. There is stiff gravy competion in that part of NEPA.

I'll agree that they know a thing or two about pasta (and pizza) in Luzerne and Lackawanna counties, but the height of their culinary game is pierogies and kielbasa.
DeLuca knows what's up. Wyoming Area HS, where he starred, borders West Pittston.
Pittston is know as "The tomato capital of the world" and has an annual Tomato Festival with authentic food, live entertainment and of course a parade because, you know, NEPA. They really did a nice job cleaning up downtown Pittston in recent years. West Pittston still looks the same as 50 years ago, and still floods when the river gets really high.
Only homemade church pierogies and kielbasa from (fill in the blank because everyone has a favorite place).
Wouldn't a Nona be pissed selling jarred sauce ?
Depends on whether you live above or below the tracks. I'm luckily above the tracks.
On another note, Pizza Lovin wings are very underrated. The Hooter flavor are fantastic!
Pizza Lovin is on my double secret probation list. Ordered pizza and wings takeout one night weeks ago. Get to the register and it's cash only now. No CC accepted. Luckily I had some cash on me which is rare. Pulled the we have an ATM machine if needed. That's BS to me.
PACC
Polish American Citizens Club in Lorain, OH. My principal "awarded" the students with a longer recess and then took teachers to the PACC during Lent. My goodness! Pierogies and fish. Admittedly, we did not feel like teaching on those Friday afternoons.
OL
Same at Giuseppe’s in Avoca. At least they told me on the phone that they were cash only.
And happy for Dominic. Met his parents last week. They couldn't be more proud of him.

Some old Italian guy we all know from way back got his foot on the door years ago!
My wife makes killer pierogies and when we are out, Mrs. B’s from Olyphant are terrific. They are sold frozen at Bosak’s Meats in Olyphant along with their award winning kielbasi (smoked and fresh)
Yeah, or church fish fry’s and/or spaghetti dinner fundraisers at the fire hall/American Legion. But that’s Beaver County…
I'll have to check them out. I like Bosak's fresh cut bacon. Kutsop's keilbasa was my go to until they closed. I really like Murrazi cheddar jalapeño. That's in @WanderingSpectator territory.
Growing up, my grandma used to volunteer for the pierogie sale at the Lithuanian Church on Main Ave. and they were the best I ever had.
If you up around Hazelton , check out two three kielbasas from Tarone brothers . I always try and get my Easter meats from Bobby . Amazing flavor .
Good for Dom!
….and thanks fellas. This thread has brought back some great memories of growing up in da Valley.

We always make our own sauce (not gravy), but the best jar sauce I’ve found is La San Marzano brand. Their Arrabbiata is fantastic.

I’ll definitely look for it. I don’t recall seeing it out here.I like this one......... In the Costco sized jar apparently. Also has San Marzano tomatoes.
Edit: Looks like my local grocery store carries it. $7.99 for 25oz jar of either the Garlic Marinara or Tomato Basil. I’ll just add my own red pepper.
