THE SOUL OF THE PIZZA ★ NORWAY TO ARIZONA ★ MAGIC 12 TM 100+ YEARS
For national pizza chains and franchise groups

The soul
of the pizza.

A signature pizza sauce, reserved for one national chain.

Magic 12™ is a proprietary pizza sauce with a century-old inspiration. It isn't sold in stores. It is waiting for one pizza brand to make it theirs.

Why the sauce

Menus get copied. A sauce nobody else can buy doesn't.

Dough gets standardized and toppings get matched. The sauce is the one thing on every pie, in every location, that guests carry home in their memory.

For a chain planning a relaunch, a turnaround or a new flagship pie, an exclusive sauce is a moat competitors cannot order from a distributor.

Why twelve

Named for the twelfth of thirteen.

My grandmother, Emma Tolvine Kristiansen, was born in Norway, the 12th of 13 siblings. Tolvine means twelve. Her table was known for unforgettable food and for making sure everyone had an awesome time.

Magic 12 is my tribute to her. It is bold and slow-simmered, and made from a blend I don't fully reveal. The rest stays in the family until the right partner is at the table.

Bjorn Forsdal, founder
Who this is for

We take a small number of conversations each year.
