Forget store-bought! You can make this ultimate homemade pizza sauce from simple pantry staples in under five minutes. It is thick, rich, and perfect for your next pizza night.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce (use high-quality like Muir Glen if possible)
  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced finely
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar (optional, to balance acidity)

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients. You will not need to cook this sauce.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the tomato sauce and tomato paste. Stir well until fully incorporated.
  3. Add the minced fresh garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper to the tomato mixture.
  4. Stir everything together until the spices are evenly distributed. Taste the sauce.
  5. If the sauce tastes too acidic, stir in the optional 1/4 teaspoon of sugar. This step helps create that ultimate tomato sauce for pizza flavor.
  6. Use immediately as a quick homemade pizza topping sauce, or cover and refrigerate for later use. The flavor deepens slightly after chilling.

Notes

  • For an even thicker pizza sauce, use slightly less tomato sauce or drain a little liquid from the can before mixing.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free, vegan, and paleo-friendly.
  • This sauce works great as a creamy pizza dipping sauce for crusts if you add a splash of heavy cream or Greek yogurt after mixing.
