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

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!
