This simple and delicious Pizza Sauce is made with basic pantry ingredients and ready to use in just a few minutes! I’m confidant you’ll never use canned sauce again!
I have so many favorite homemade pizza recipes that this sauce would pair great with, but it’s truly fantastic served on my Perfect Pizza Dough or Wheat Pizza Crust.
Making homemade pizza is one of my favorite childhood memories! My mom used to make a double batch of homemade pizza dough and let my friends and I pick out all our own pizza toppings. I am partial towards BBQ Chicken Pizza but I love a good supreme pizza, loaded with everything! If you like white sauce on our pizza, try this Garlic-Ranch Chicken Pizza or Chicken Alfredo Pizza
Looking for other types of pizza sauce? Try these:
- Pesto
- White Garlic Sauce
- Garlic Ranch Sauce
- Hummus

Used immersion blender, this was quick, tasty, and nicely thick. Will be our go to pizza sauce from now on.
Where’s the old one from a couple years ago that was 5 minutes in a blender. Done.
Thanks you’re awesome 🤩
I love this recipe. So fresh tasting and easy. Thank you
Very good!! I made this in a pinch after realizing I was completely out of my stock of frozen pizza sauce and only had pantry ingredients. This was great and I’ll definitely make it again because it was tasty and SO easy!
Nostra Thomas, I omitted the sugar and used a tsp of stevia instead. It was absolutely perfect and sugar free. For pizza dough, I used a standard recipe but added a Tbs of White Vinegar. A great snap to the whole pizza. Received Mega comments from friends in the gourmet group.
So easy and so delicious! LOVE IT. Just like in Italy!!! YUM
Just as easy and delicious as advertised. Definitely a keeper!
Thank you! It really is such a simple recipe, and soo good! Thanks for your comment.
I am using it in a pizza dip that I bake. Do I need to cook this sauce first?
