Ava’s Pizza Kit

What’s in the box

Everything to make one pizza the TJ’s way

No guesswork, no grocery run. Each kit arrives portioned and ready — just clear the counter and wash those little hands.

Hand-Stretched Dough

A ball of our slow-risen dough, the same recipe we’ve pressed by hand since 1989. Soft enough for small hands to shape into a (mostly) round crust.

Our San Marzano Sauce

TJ’s scratch-made red sauce — sweet, slow-simmered tomatoes and herbs — in a ready-to-spread cup. Spooning and swirling is the kids’ favorite part.

Fresh-Grated Mozzarella

A bag of the real whole-milk mozzarella we melt every night. Sprinkle it edge to edge — extra in the middle is allowed.

Pepperoni & Toppings

Classic pepperoni to lay out one by one, plus a pinch of our house seasoning. Want to build your own? Add the toppings your family loves.

Each kit makes one 12″ pizza and comes with a simple, picture-friendly recipe card. Order extra kits for a bigger crowd or a pizza-night party.

Pizza night, the easy way

Four steps, the whole family in

Unbox

Open the cooler-packed box and lay out the dough, sauce, cheese, and pepperoni together.

Roll & Top

Stretch the dough, spread the sauce, scatter the cheese, and let little hands place every pepperoni.

Bake

Slide it into your home oven. In a few golden, bubbling minutes, the kitchen smells just like TJ’s.

Eat Together

Slice it up and dig in — the pizza you made as a family always tastes the best.

Our story

37 years on the beach — now in your kitchen

Since 1989, TJ’s Italian Café has been one block from the sand in Indian Rocks Beach, feeding generations of families the same scratch-made recipes. Kids who once stood on a step-stool to watch the dough get tossed now bring their own kids in for pizza night.

We named the kit after Ava — the youngest of our family — because the best part of this place was always the little hands helping in the kitchen.

Ava’s Pizza Kit packs that tradition into a box and sends it to your table. Same dough, same sauce, same cheese — made by your family, in your kitchen, with flour on every cheek. Because some things are worth passing down, one pizza night at a time.
