About Us

A Boutique Broker Built for Suppliers Who Need More

RJ Food Brokers is an independent food broker representing pizza, pasta, and specialty products. We work directly with distributors to push new products into stock — and with operators to pull those products through distribution.

As a boutique broker, we dedicate ourselves to fewer clients, enabling us to provide more customized service and focus deeply on your specific industries, segments, and niches. Our commitment is unwavering: weekly touch points and a footprint that is both regional and national.

We work with all tiers of distributors — from national broadliners to large regionals to independent distributors.
