WARNING: Small Axe Peppers has product-fulfillment AND data-privacy-protection issues
If you buy any of the hot sauces directly from Small Axe based on their frequent marketing emails, you may run into the following product-fulfillment or data-security issues, even though their sauces are all 100% delicious. From the outset of my relationship with this company, which goes back several years and spans all the way to the present in 2023, I’ve had to deal with all of the following product-fulfillment and data-privacy-security issues: 1) With my first order from Small Axe Peppers via Amazon several years ago now, all the bottles arrived broken because there was no insulation inside the package, and they had sent them in a lightly padded envelope. After sending me replacement bottles, this issue was eventually corrected, and they started sending bottles wrapped in enough insulation to prevent any breakage. 2) Worrisomely, I suddenly started getting multiple emails from Small Axe confirming that I had placed orders with them when I actually hadn’t done so. I thought perhaps my credit card information had been compromised, but the then-Head of Operations, Daniel Fitzgerald, who more recently in 2023 has risen to the CEO level of the company, assured me that my credit card had not been hacked, but that they had used my email as a “placeholder” email in their internal order-fulfillment systems and not to worry, that it wouldn’t happen again. 3) Several months later, it happened again, and I kept getting more phantom “confirmations” that I had purchased products from Small Axe, when I hadn’t, so I surfaced the concern to John A. Crotty, Small Axe’s Chairman, and indicated that I would have to make an official complaint to New York State, where the company was located, if the practice of misusing my email address as part of the company’s internal administration systems continued, given that I had been assured my email had been removed from all their systems. I was then told that the same thing had happened to EVERYONE in their entire database, and that it de...

Epic!
These hot sauces are delicious! A wide variety of heat levels for every palate, and not just hot but incredibly flavorful. Add to that the fact that they're kosher certified, and that they do good in local communities - this stuff is awesome!

Great sauce for a great cause
I love Small Axe Peppers hot sauce, I send them all over the country as gifts to friends, particularly those that live in cities with community gardens! The sauces are eclectic, delicious and support a good cause, what more can you ask for? The Bronx Green sauce is my fave!

Favorite Hot Sauce
I’m not a huge spicy food guy, so hot sauces aren’t usually my thing. When my sister had me try the Bang Hot Sauce, I immediately loved the flavor. I still don’t use a lot, spicy food and all, but I’m on my 3rd or 4th bottle. Bang sauce is my favorite sauce, and I like proceeds support community gardens.

It went off with a Bang
Truly an inspired sauce! I can’t say I have even been happier with a product in my life.

Amazing!
I've had Small Axe Peppers before and loved it, so when my favorite band, AJR collabed for the BANG! hot sauce I knew it'd be a great addition to our collection. So yummy! :)

I bought it because of AJR, then I bought more because it was so delicious!
The Bang hot sauce is so delicious, not too spicy and super flavorful.

This is some of the best there is!
The Bronx hot sauce made with serrano peppers is the most delicious balance of flavor and heat that I've ever tasted, and I've tried hundreds of different sauces in my life. Food this good nourishes one completely -- mind, body, and soul. Small Axe Peppers is a model of sustainability and responsibility for future grassroots organizations to follow, and I'm proud to give them my support.

Delicious hot sauce!
My favorite hot sauce! Love the taste and clean ingredients. Pairs well with chicken and I sometimes mix in a salad dressing.

All delicious!
Started with the Greenmarket sauce and then quickly went back for more. I’ve tried almost all of them and they’re all incredible. Well balanced and flavorful with great heat. Best hot sauces out there!

Wow!
I ordered a 3 pack to try and wow! My family had planned a simple but boring chicken dinner that turned into a spicy feast! Really great hot sauces that are made from local gardens. Will definitely buy more!
