Joey's Hot Sauce at Madeline's

Joey's Hot Sauce is a small-batch, organic, family-run line out of Grants Pass, Oregon, started by Joey Repice during the pandemic. Joey builds each sauce around real food and flavor first, with heat layered in after, an approach that traces back to his Italian cooking instincts. Rather than boiling peppers, he fire-roasts them to develop flavor, works with local growers, and puts his own face on every label. The line has gone on to win national and international recognition, including awards at the Fiery Food Challenge and the European Hot Sauce Awards.

The core sauces form a clear heat ladder. Mildish Bambino, created for Joey's son Luca, is the gentle entry point; Priscilla the Creeper is the medium foundation sauce whose heat builds slowly across a meal; 50/50 blends Priscilla with Joey's hottest core sauce for a medium-hot middle; and Flamethrower is the top of the range, a flavor-first super-hot built on Carolina Reaper, Scorpion, Trinidad, and Dragon's Breath peppers. All are organic and gluten-free.

Two specialty bottles sit apart from the heat ladder. Lisa the Truffle Queen is a luxury sauce made with six grams of real wild truffle per bottle rather than synthetic truffle flavoring, and the Hot Honey with Saffron infuses raw honey with saffron, habanero, and crushed red pepper for a sauce that works on pizza and a cheese board alike.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy Joey's Hot Sauce?

You can buy Joey's Hot Sauce online at Madeline's (madelines.co), which carries the core sauces across the heat range plus the truffle sauce and saffron hot honey. The products listed above are live and in stock.

What is Joey's Hot Sauce known for?

Joey's Hot Sauce is a small-batch, organic, family-run line from Grants Pass, Oregon, started by Joey Repice. It is known for flavor-first sauces made with fire-roasted peppers and real ingredients, and it has won recognition at the Fiery Food Challenge and the European Hot Sauce Awards.

Which sauce should I start with?

For a gentle introduction, Mildish Bambino is the mildest. Priscilla the Creeper is the medium, everyday foundation sauce, 50/50 steps up to medium-hot, and Flamethrower is the hottest, built on super-hot peppers and meant to be used sparingly. The truffle and saffron honey sauces are specialty bottles rather than heat-ladder picks.

Is the truffle sauce made with real truffles?

Yes. Lisa the Truffle Queen is made with six grams of real wild truffle per bottle, not the synthetic truffle flavoring used in many truffle products. Treat it like truffle oil: a small drizzle at the end of cooking lifts simple dishes like pizza, pasta, and eggs.
