1. Pizza Sauce: I don’t know about you, but I have found store-bought pizza sauce seriously lacking. I think the taste can be too overpowering and the seasonings just aren’t quite right. I’m really glad that I discovered this recipe – it’s so simple that it is nearly as easy as opening a jar, but the flavor is so, so, so much better. Not only is the taste great but I much prefer the chunky texture of this sauce (although you can alter the texture to your liking). I have made this many times now, and find that it goes very well with a huge variety of pizza toppings, or as a dipping sauce for calzones. Recipe from Annie’s Eats.
2. Homemade Pizza Sauce Recipe: Flavored with garlic, basil and Italian seasoning, this versatile sauce from our Test Kitchen staff will give Italian flair to all kinds of appetizing entrees. In fact, our home economists came up with the following two dishes that spotlight the zesty mixture. Recipe found at Taste Of Home.
3. Easy Slowcooker Pizza Sauce: I make this sauce in huge batches and divide it in containers for the freezer. It is easy (and no splattering) if you can prepare this in your slow cooker. This is great for your pizzas, for making bagel & English muffin pizzas for the kids, or as a dipping sauce. Recipe from Mom Advice.
4. Perfect Pizza Sauce: While my mozzarella addiction only intensifies with each bite, I also think the sauce can either make or break the pizza. For this reason I decided that I would make my own. One of the reasons that I am not a huge fan of store bought sauce is that they tend to be a little too sweet for me. With that said, I still add a little bit of sugar to cut the acidity of the tomatoes. That is just the beauty of making this at home, you can pick and chose the flavors you like. Recipe found at Life’s Ambrosia.
5. White Pizza Sauce: Recipe found at Pete Bakes!
6. Pizza Sauce: There are lots of recipes for pizza sauce out there, but most of them are pretty work intensive. Quite honestly, if I’m going through the trouble to make homemade pizza, I don’t want to have to cook the sauce, too. Also, a lot of them are chunky and I don’t like chunky pizza sauce. And a lot of them are cooked with quite a bit of oil, so when you add the cheese, the pizza is all heavy and greasy. I like this recipe because in addition to being super-yummy, it comes together in just a few minutes and uses ingredients you’ll probably have in your cupboard, anyway. Also, it’s a great dipping sauce for breadsticks! Ready, Freddy? Recipe from Our Best Bites.
7. Zesty Old School Style Pizza Sauce: Growing up my parents took us kids to an old style pizza house their friends owned. “Uncle” Loren had the best pizza in town to me. I would climb up a small brick staircase onto a platform, and watch through a glass window as the skillful pizza guys made our pies. This is where my obsession with pizza was born and nurtured. This zesty sauce recipe is as close as I can come to that beautiful thick sauce. It’s what I make when I want a nostalgic, American style pizza house pie. The recipe makes enough sauce to cover three medium, or two large pizzas. Recipe from The Cooking Photographer.
8. Favorite Pizza Sauce: Recipe found at Andrea’s Recipes.
9. Best Pizza Sauce: This sauce is AMAZING. I decided to make pizza tonight, I was thinking the crust would be the star of the show but it turns out I could sit here and eat an entire bowl of just the sauce. It is simple and thick and would be great over pasta, bruschetta, or on pizza. Recipe from Strawberry Hedgehog.
10. White Pizza Sauce: This sauce would be used with whatever toppings you want. The pizza I made with it had chicken, bacon, and red onions but just think of the possibilities. Delish! It was a nice change from the traditional red sauce. Plus, you can whip it up in no time with ingredients you probably already have in your house. Yummy! I’m keeping this one.
