I have had several requests to publish a post on the pizza sauce that I originally bunched together with my homemade pizza. So here it is!
Ingredients
- 1 14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes
- 1 small can tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- Pinch of crushed red pepper
Directions
- Combine all ingredients in food processor or blender and blend until desired consistency. I leave mine slightly chunky. You can adjust the seasonings to taste. This recipe is open to interpretation. Use what you like and it will be delicious.

Does this pizza sauce cover 2 nice size pizza crusts or would you recommend doubling the recipe? My husband and I are getting together with some friends this weekend and making homemade pizzas with your pizza crust and sauce recipes

Hooray! I can’t tell you how honored I feel that you made a special sauce link just for me!
Used this one tonight…hooray for a fabulous recipe! We halved it and got a just-right amount for 1 pizza. The only thing we didn’t halve was the 1 tbsp sugar…and that seemed to be about right for us. So if I used the full recipe, I think we’d use at least 1.5 tbsp sugar.
Thanks yo!

i am going to share with you a secret my friends Italian mother told me – add some anise seeds to your pizza sauce. it is awesome. i haven’t tried this pizza sauce but if it is as good as you say it is it will be better if you add some anise seeds. i usually cook my sauce first b/c i like to put sauted onions in mine.
