The Best Homemade Pizza Sauce

March 16, 2021

This is the ABSOLUTE best pizza sauce and once you try it, you will never look back! It’s packed with flavor, perfectly spiced and so quick and easy to make. It will most definitely compliment your homemade pizza every time!!  

It’s so much healthier and tastier than those bland store-bought kinds. Trust me, I’ve tried them all until I discovered making my own and I’ve never bought from the store since. We’ve been making homemade pizza for years and it took a while to perfect the sauce and I’m finally ready to share my secret weapon with you guys! 😉 This sauce is SO good and you will literally lick up every last drop that’s left behind. Or just go ahead and drink it!

You can use this sauce for dips as well! We use it with my homemade breadsticks, mozzarella cheese sticks, pizza rolls… whatever you please! 

Depending how much sauce you like to use for your pizza, I use 1/2 cup per pizza which gives me enough for 6 pizzas. Nothing is quite as satisfying as opening up your freezer and finding pizza sauce. 😉 You can never have too much of it because we take pizza nights pretty serious around here! The next time you make pizza, do yourself a favor and make this sauce. I PROMISE you will not be disappointed! It’s simple, delicious and nothing tastes better than homemade.
