Why it's worth it

  • Made by hand

    Sauce from scratch. Every lasagna layered by hand. Every meatball rolled by hand.

  • The best whole ingredients

    Fresh basil, real garlic and onions, ricotta and Romano, made like you would at home. Not mass-produced in a factory.

  • 70% less than delivery

    Restaurant-quality Italian-American food at $8.75 a serving.*

  • 4.7 stars

    From 4,900+ customer reviews.

*Per serving: a $35 tray is 4 servings, with free shipping on $200+. Compared with $33.51 for a lasagna entrée delivered from a Boston-area Italian restaurant: the $24.24 average menu price at four restaurants, plus a 15% service fee, a $1.99 delivery fee and a 15% tip, before tax (November 2026).

Why it tastes like Sunday dinner

Every lasagna in your box is layered by hand in our kitchen. The sauce is made from scratch, the meatballs are rolled by hand, and the recipes are the same ones I make for my family. No shortcuts.

We make it, we freeze it, we ship it to you packed cold. You bake it. I get emails from so many people telling me it's better than homemade.

Make it nice! — Chuck

How the heck do you mail lasagna?!

Don't worry about it. Leave it up to us.

Baking instructions

Questions?

How does shipping work?

We ship to all 50 states. A Box of 6 or 8 ships free. Shipping is also free on orders of $200 or more. Under $200, a Box of 4 ships for $29 flat, Alaska and Hawaii included. We ship Monday to Thursday.

How does subscribing work?

Your box comes every 2, 4 or 6 weeks at the same price as a one-time box. There's no discount. Instead, every delivery comes with a free Chef's Surprise, on me (two in a Box of 8). It's something different from the kitchen, and it changes often. You get a reminder email 3 days before each charge, and you can skip, pause or cancel anytime from your account. Want different dishes next time? Just email me.

How big is each dish?

Every dish is about 2 to 2½ pounds and feeds 3–4.

How do I cook it?

375° straight from the freezer: 45–50 minutes covered, then 10–15 uncovered. Let it rest 10–15 minutes so the cheese doesn't run out. Full baking instructions.

What if it's starting to thaw when it gets there?

That's fine. Put it in the fridge or the freezer within 6 hours of delivery and bake it when you're ready.
