The most delicious and tasty homemade pizza sauce!

The BEST Homemade Pizza Sauce - The most delicious and tasty homemade pizza sauce!

Pizza is such a favorite in our house, I make it at least once a week! Or yannnno, when it comes to it, we order. But, nothing and I mean nothing compares to a homemade pizza! I always use my favorite pizza dough and top it with this insanely delicious pizza sauce followed by a ridonk amount of mozzarella cheese.

This pizza sauce only requires a few simple ingredients that I'm sure you already have in your cupboards! Please, oh please, do not use store-bought pizza sauce. *cringe* When pizza sauce is this easy and DELISH to make at home, there's no need for it! 🙂

To make this sauce, you'll cook a bit of garlic in some oil until fragrant. From there, all that's left to do is dump the rest of the ingredients into the pot, stir and simmer for 30 minutes! Once it's nice and thick, you can spread it on your pizza dough and top it with whatever toppings you like, and bake until golden and crispy.

 Mmmm, I'm pretty much drooling over these pictures right now. Another way I use this pizza sauce is as a dipping sauce for my (favorite!) Stromboli! It's SO good.

    How long would this last in the fridge? Could it be frozen, and if so, for how long?

      It'll last for about one week in the refrigerator and can be frozen for up to three months. I freeze mine every time!

      I just added up the liquid ingredients and got 42 ounces plus the dry ingredients so between 5 1/4 and 5 1/2 cups.

    Holy moly this sauce is amazing!! I needed a pizza sauce recipe tonight when we decided on a whim to do pizza for dinner. I whipped it up while my dough was rising, it was so quick and easy, and my husband is STILL raving about it two hours later! This one is getting re-pinned and printed out for my favorites binder. Can't thank you enough for sharing this!

      28 ounces tomato sauce

        It covers about 4-6 pizzas! Depending how much sauce you use for each one.

    Can you can this recipe? If so, how long should it be in the water bath for? It sounds delicious, and I want to make a stockpile!

      I don't know anything about canning so I am not sure! Sounds like a great idea though!

      We canned pizza sauce years ago when we had gardens. We water bathed pints for 30 minutes after boiling started. I would even use the sauce for spaghetti.

    BEST. SAUCE. EVER!! I tweaked with the seasonings a little, (and used minced onion as I didn't have onion powder) other than that followed the recipe completely..Added this in my vegetable rice and used it in pasta too! my sister is still raving about it a month later! so just made another batch of it and added it in vegetable rice... at 3:20 am in the morning! 😂😊
    annd going to use this again on Saturday night to make a pizza!
    so yeah, rambling aside, thank you so much for this recipe! it's THE best sauce ever!

    Would this work as a marinara sauce for pasta as well?

    Hi Jesica, not quite understand the ingredients (I'm used to grams), is it 1.28 oz which would be only 36 grams and would be too less or is it 128 oz which is over 3 kg and seems to be too much? A bit confused...

    My Parents came from Italy back in the sixties and opened 3 pizzerias in New York. Sadly after they sold the business, at the time I was in my teens I went to work for a few upper westside joints. Of course, the recipes vary from place to place, however, the main integrant was never, ever cook the pizza sauce. Yours has a little more than most but the flavor is there for a dipping sauce for calamari, motz sticks, calzones, etc... Respectfully, Joseph
