My favorite pizza sauce
I realized the other day that my favorite pizza sauce didn’t have a post of its own. I mean, I’ve shared the recipe before, but only on other pizza recipes. And, since it’s such a favorite in this house now, I thought it deserved a nice little space all its own!
We use it all the time. If there isn’t a jar in the fridge, I’ve probably stashed it in the freezer. Just thaw it in the microwave, or take it out of the freezer the day before you want to use it.
It’s thick and rich, with a little sweetness and a little heat. It’s filled with herbs and spices, and requires no cooking! Just stir it all together. Super easy and yummy!
No need to go out to your favorite pizza place anymore and spend lots of money. Now you can make it at home!
And, it goes great on lots of different pizzas.

I’m so glad you gave your pizza sauce the recognition it deserves with its own post:-) It sounds absolutely perfect.
So simple it’s brilliant! Now I’m craving pizza. 🙂
I’ll be making a ton of this healthful tomato sauce. Love the herb/spice blend in it! 🙂
Every ingredient here is fantastic! I’m in LOVE!
This looks so good, Debi! I love the spices you have used – what a lovely, flavourful sauce!
Awesome! I love the bit of zing added by the chili powder & red chile flakes! Bet it tastes amazing!
I love making my own sauce and it’s so easy there’ no reason not too. I love your spice blend. Great recipe.
Perfect timing as I know we will be making pizza with our grandkids during our upcoming visit…thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe!
Great sauce for any pizza recipes! Thanks for sharing it! I hate to admit when it comes to pizza, more often than not, I use the jarred stuff 🙁
Christine, I always used to use the jarred stuff too. But once we used this sauce, we never went back. It’s super easy and really yummy!
Homemade pizza sauce is so much better than store bought!
gotta love homemade pizza sauce!
We will have to use this tonight with our calzones!
This looks wonderful! I’ve always wanted to try to make my own and store it for quick meals later. I’ll have to save this one and give it a shot.
Huh. I never realized the difference in marinara vs. pizza sauce. We love to make our own pizzas, so I will have to use this next time!
I love this!! Sooooo much better than store bought in a can!!
