PIZZA SAUCE
When I was young, we visited Italy and enjoyed quite a bit of pizza as far as I can remember they all tasted the same. Their pizza sauce was super distinctive.
Then I visited it again a few years ago and went for the pizza, and that’s when I realized how different pizza tasted in different areas of Italy, even the shape and serving style of pizza is different.
I’ve also noticed that Italian pizza does taste different than American-Italian style pizza. The one thing however that tastes and feels familiar was the Sauce.!
You’ll probably notice the differences are based on personal taste. So like a marinara sauce, you can find some that are extra garlicky while others are extra oniony. Some sauces are made with fresh tomatoes and have a brighter red color, while others are cooked down to a deep red tone.
Also some are thinner than others in consistency. It’s basically a taste thing!
PIZZA SAUCE RECIPE / HOMEMADE PIZZA SAUCE
For today, I’m choosing a no cook sauce. The ingredient are probably the same.
- Crushed Tomatoes
- Garlic
- Parmesan Cheese
- Oregano
- Seasoning
- Basil
There’s probably nothing simpler than this.
HOW TO MAKE PIZZA SAUCE
Simply mix all ingredients together in the bowl and mix with a spoon!
Why no cook?
- Crushed Tomatoes add the perfect consistency to the sauce with a rich yet bright tomato flavor.
- Fresh garlic is the best way to infuse flavor into the tomatoes. You can substitute garlic powder if you have a thing against fresh garlic.
- Basil. A classic flavor. I love using fresh basil and even more I love adding Basil Pesto for more flavor.
- Parmesan Cheese adds so much flavor. Use freshly grated for best taste.
- Seasoning: salt and pepper.
- Oregano: the pizza flavor you can’t miss!

This just became a new staple at my kitchen! I’ll never go back to store-brought again!
I was so happy to see that I had all the ingredients. So I made it and it was delicious. My whole family loved it.
That’s very similar to my recipe but I will have to try the red pepper.
So easy and so much tastier than store-bought cans or jars!
What a special recipe! I love that you can prepare this without cooking, and I like to use the San Marzano canned tomatoes and crush them myself. So good! Thanks for another winner from Two Purple Figs!
