Description
This no-cook, pizzeria-style pizza sauce is rich, herby, and perfectly balanced—ready to spread on any crust from New York rounds to deep-dish pans. Built for flavor and consistency, it enhances your toppings and stores beautifully.
Ingredients
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes with basil
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, combine crushed tomatoes and tomato paste until smooth.
2. Add dried oregano, dried basil, crushed red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and onion powder.
3. Stir in kosher salt and sugar, tasting and adjusting sweetness based on tomato acidity.
4. Add olive oil and stir until the sauce is fully combined and glossy.
5. Use immediately on pizza dough or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
6. To freeze, portion into freezer-safe containers or bags and lay flat.
7. No cooking needed; the sauce will bake perfectly with your pizza in the oven.
Notes
Use high-quality crushed tomatoes for the best flavor and consistency.
Taste before using—the sauce should already taste like pizza in a spoonful.
For thin crusts, use a light layer; for pan pizzas, go a bit heavier.
