Pizza time! Well, I suppose I should say pizza sauce time, right? But the thing is if you are planning on making a pizza sauce that can only lead to one thing: making homemade pizza!

What is your favorite pizza? Do you make pizza often? Do you use homemade pizza dough to make it? What are your favorite toppings? I am not sure what pizza I love as I literally enjoy any pizza. Salami pizza with lots of cheese is yummy but I also love potato pizza.

Sometimes I make calzone pizza. It’s a great dish and the best thing is you can eat it on the go as well without losing any filling as everything is packed in a pizza dough pocket! It’s like a huge Italian empanada! Sooo delicious!

Today I am sharing with you this simple pizza sauce recipe. I’ve been making this homemade pizza sauce for years and everyone loves it.

How to make a pizza sauce at home

Well the proper pizza sauce has tomatoes in it. Tinned tomatoes are widely used and the sauce is cooked with other ingredients.

This homemade pizza sauce has nothing to do with the real Italian pizza sauce but I think it does the trick and more importantly it saves you a lot of time & tastes delicious on your pizza!

All you need to do is peel the garlic and throw it in a garlic press. That’s all the hard work there. Now you simply mix everything in a bowl or a jar and you are good to go. 3 minutes! Literally!

Ingredients substitutions/alternatives:

  • Oregano – this is a perfect herb for pizzas but if you don’t have it, try using marjoram – its taste is pretty similar to oregano. Feel free to use
  • Basil – to get a step closer to Italian cuisine.
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil – I don’t recommend using any other oil. This one gives the sauce and your pizza a great flavor.
  • Garlic – this homemade pizza sauce needs garlic but if you can omit it if really necessary.
  • Ketchup/Tomato Paste – If you don’t have ketchup substitute this for tomato paste or the other way round. I personally like mixing these two.

How to store this homemade pizza sauce:

Store it in a jar in your fridge. It will last several days. However, I prefer making fresh one each time. It only takes 3 minutes! Note that it will thicken in the fridge so don’t be tempted to use too much of it. 2 Heaped teaspoons should be enough for a 10 inch/26 cm pizza. Otherwise you could end up with too oily a pizza.

So guys, what do you think about this homemade pizza sauce recipe? Would you give it a go? By the way, you can change the ratios. I just recommend using a good amount of dried herbs and garlic. The olive oil makes it more spreadable and keeps the pizza moist.

    It’s crazy how easy it is to make your own pizza sauce isn’t it. We never buy it now.

    That’s a brilliant pizza sauce recipe. I never thought of a raw pizza sauce because we are simply used to the traditional Italian tomato sauce. However, I think it’s a great idea and I can’t wait to try it next Friday, pizza day! =)

    Love your pizza sauce! My favorite pizza is Chicago deep dish pizza — it’s more of a pie, really — with spinach. One slice is pretty much an entire meal. Sadly I can’t get any where I live, so I occasionally roll up my sleeves and make my own :)

      :) Thanks, Julia! If I ever get to the US I will make sure to try the Chicago deep dish pizza! I usually go for thin crust but gosh, my mouth is watering now when I am imagining that deep dish one lol!
