Tomato Pizza Sauce
Concentrated, tangy tomato with a background of dried herbs.
Lens analyzedTomato pizza sauce is a seasoned tomato sauce made specifically thicker and more concentrated than pasta sauce, so it doesn't soak through the crust while the pizza bakes. It's usually spread cold or barely warmed rather than simmered on the stove.
Where it comes from
Pizza sauce grew out of the same Naples tomato-sauce tradition behind classic pizza, adapted into a jarred, ready-to-spread product once home pizza-making became popular across North America.
Buying it
Look for a short ingredient list led by tomatoes rather than water or added sugar, which usually means a more concentrated, less watery sauce.
Storing it
Keep the sealed jar in the pantry; once opened, refrigerate it and use it within about a week.
Keeps about 1 year in the pantry.
