Thick with Kick Tomato Sauce

A thick, full-flavoured Australian tomato sauce with rich tomato flavour and a subtle kick of spice.

Johnny Retro Thick with Kick Tomato Sauce is our take on an everyday classic — made with plenty of character. Rich and robust with a thick consistency and gentle spice finish, it's a tomato sauce that complements great food without overpowering it.

Originally developed for our Melbourne food truck, this is one of the sauces that started the Johnny Retro story.

Why You'll Love It

• Rich tomato flavour – full-bodied, savoury and beautifully balanced.

• Thick consistency – a proper sauce that holds beautifully to food.

• A subtle kick – gentle spice adds character without making it a hot sauce.

• Nothing artificial – no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.

• Made in Melbourne – manufactured by us at Factory 18.

• Food truck proven – originally developed for our own food truck menu.

A Classic with a Little More Character

We wanted to create the kind of tomato sauce we'd want to eat ourselves — familiar enough to be an everyday favourite, but with enough flavour to stand apart.

The result is a rich Australian tomato sauce with depth, a thick texture and just enough spice to give it the Thick with Kick name.

Perfect alongside burgers, sausages, meat pies, hot chips and other Australian favourites, or simply anywhere you'd normally reach for tomato sauce.

Born on Our Food Truck

Our sauces started life on the Maple Leaf Meats food truck in Melbourne.

When we couldn't find the sauces we wanted to serve, we started making our own. Since 2016, those recipes have been served to real customers across our food truck menu and eventually became the foundation of the Johnny Retro range we manufacture today.

From our food truck to your kitchen.
