On-Site Custom Meat Facilities The butchers at our Custom Meat Cutting facilities understand the importance of delivering quality cuts of portion controlled meat to our customers. Each individual product is portioned and sealed to provide a longer shelf life. Leveraging these small packages not only makes it easier to keep track of inventory, but also takes up less space, allowing you to look for ways to enhance your variety of offerings. Utilizing custom cut meats in your operation can reduce labor costs, costly by-products, risk and even injuries and accidents. Understanding custom cutting and portion controlled meat is critical to the success of your business.

Control Your Costs You know exactly what each piece costs.

If you are not currently weighing your steaks, be prepared to be surprised.

Most people tend to cut product heavier than owners want, which dramatically increases your food cost.

Deliver Consistency Uniform sizing helps cooking times and plate appearance. Our meats are hand cut by experienced butchers to your exact sizing and quality specifications. All of this not only saves you time, but also creates a consistent experience for your patrons.

No Waste All product is usable and nothing goes in the trash. If you need stew meat or other by-product, buy them separately and save.

Confidence in the Cut Each of our facilities is U.S.D.A. inspected, and follows strict A.A.C.C.P. guidelines, and our experienced butchers ensure quality and consistency with each and every cut.

We have nine meat cutting facilities across the country that offer a wide variety of meats and cuts for you to integrate into your menu: • Kinnealey Meats, Brockton, MA • Larry Cline Meats, Deerfield Beach, FL • Performance Foodservice–Florida, Dover, FL • Performance Foodservice–Miami, Miami,FL • Performance Foodservice–Middendorf, St. Louis, MO • Performance Foodservice–Metro, NY, Elizabeth, NJ • Performance Foodservice–Hale, Morristown, TN • Performance Foodservice–Temple, TX, Temple, TX • Performance Foodservice–Virginia, Richmond, VA PERFORMANCE FOODSERVICE - NEW JERSEY

PathProven® Black Angus Boxed & Ground Beef Braveheart® Black Angus Beef satisfies customers’ needs with a serious commitment to quality, consistency, food safety (traceability) and state-of-the-art processing via our exclusive PathProven program. Black Angus cattle are raised traditionally in the Midwest and finished on local grains for superior flavor and tenderness.

Braveheart Black Angus Beef provides only the highest quality beef from the USDA’s top grades. Beef quality is based on the cooked product’s expected eating characteristics—tenderness, juiciness and flavor. Grades are given based on the amount of marbling in the beef. Higher levels of marbling are more likely to yield tender, juicy, flavorful cuts of meat. Our Prime beef has the highest level of marbling in the U.S. beef grading system, resulting in mouthwatering flavor from whichever Braveheart cut you choose.

Aged a minimum of 21 days to create the most tender, delicious beef.

The Sauce is Boss Sauce may be the least expensive ingredient in making pizza, but it can provide a punch of flavor — creating that special taste that’s unique to your pizzeria. And we understand that sauce often requires the highest levels of authenticity, able to rise to the homemade level of traditional family recipes. With that in mind, we offer an impressive collection of tomato-based items in different categories necessary for Italian cooking. Sourced directly from California, the Midwest, Italy, and other prime regions, our ingredients bring the flavor of real Italian culinary expertise to your recipes.

Sauce is typically made one of two ways depending on the needs of an operation: from scratch and ready-to-use. With products like whole tomatoes, diced/chopped, crushed/ground, purees, and pastes, operators can create a signature sauce from scratch. Adding a heavy pizza sauce and water along with ground tomatoes and whole peeled tomatoes will create a delicious and fresh-tasting pizza sauce. Seasonings are then added for the extra punch and personality that fits your brand. True to our commitment to quality, Performance Foodservice tomato-based items are fresh packed with no citric acid included. On the following pages you’ll find a number of products, from brands like Piancone® and Ultimo!®, that have been used to make pizza sauce for more than 60 years.

Ready-To-Use Sauces Don’t have the time or the workforce to create homemade pizza sauce daily?

Then ready-to-use or fully prepared sauces may be the method for you. Prepared with olive oil, fresh Romano cheese and spices, our sauces will provide a distinctive homemade flavor. There are several advantages of using a prepared pizza sauce, including consistent quality and flavor can after can, labor savings, and convenience.

Tomato-based sauces are not the only sauces on pizza these days. Alternatives like barbecue, garlic butter, and Alfredo are making a rise on menus. Don’t be afraid to mix it up a little bit!

Determine the best sauce to use according to the dough you make, the oven you use, and other variables – but the key word is FLAVOR. PERFORMANCE FOODSERVICE - NEW JERSEY
