An apparatus for applying a flowable material, such as a pizza sauce, onto an object, such as a pizza shell, is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a source of the flowable material having a source outlet port and a chamber having an chamber inlet port and a chamber outlet port. The apparatus further includes a piston and cylinder for moving the flowable material from the source to the chamber and a flow control gate disposed at the chamber outlet port. The apparatus further includes an arm responsive to actuation of the piston for opening the flow control gate, thereby permitting a substantially uniform application of the flowable material onto the object.
