Let me make something very clear. Pizza sauce matters! A lot. At least to me. I am probably the only person that asks for extra pizza sauce on my pizza when I order it because I love sauce. But I am picky! And making a homemade pizza takes a lot of time so when I found this recipe I had to try it. Of course I also had to play around with it a bit.
Put in a medium sauce pan:
14 oz can tomato sauce
2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoons sugar
¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
freshly ground pepper
Stir together and let bubble away for around 10 minutes.
The sauce will thicken and deepen in colour and flavour. Want heat? Add some red pepper flakes.
I tested it on homemade pizzas and it was delicious! Just like a real pizzeria pizza. I was absolutely impressed.
Foodie Conclusion
I am loving quick, easy and tasty recipes right now! My life has been a tad insane and I would much rather spend a few bucks on spices, flour and tomato sauce for a delicious pizza than spend +$25 and not have it take all day.
This recipe made this way is perfection. I give it five out of five wooden spoons.

Love this and will be making it! Extra sauce was always asked for when we ordered pizza as well! Can’t order any more as we are too isolated so this will be great to make our own pizza!
Oh good Amelia! Thanks for letting me know and get out?! You order extra sauce too? I LOVE that! I hope you like this sauce. I found it very tasty, easy and cheap to make.
I made some with fresh herbs, awesome! Thanks for sharing your recipe.

So simple…but SO good!!! Made some Stromboli yesterday with this sauce and it was amazing! I’ve used different brands of jarred pizza sauce, and they were all pretty meh and pretty expensive. I’ll be using this recipe from now on 😀
Oh good Rachel, so happy to hear you love the sauce too. It’s my favourite now too. Can’t use anything else!
Made the recipe tonight and it was delicious.
Fantastic Patty!!! So happy to hear you enjoyed it too.

Made this sauce for homemade tortilla pizzas! (Yes, I live in Texas, so we eat everything we can on fresh tortillas!). It was amazing! And no preservatives or bad things. Like some of the other ladies, I have bought every pizza sauce known to man and not a single one compares! Told my sister about it and we will be making and canning this for ourselves for easy nights!
Wonderful! So happy it was such a huge hit Dana and that you liked it so much. 🙂 I’m thrilled!
So good! We added a lil fresh garlic an the red pepper flakes. This is now our go to sauce!
Oh yes, excellent additions Mo! 🙂
Thought I’d give it a try since I have all the ingredients in the cupboard and wow! What a tasty sauce! I’ve been playing around with pizza dough lately and got that to come out great so I wanted a sauce to keep with that homemade theme and this one goes in the recipes file for sure. Thanks!
Yay!!! So happy you like the pizza sauce too Stan. Amazing, isn’t it? Thanks for letting me know!
I made this before but forgot to print the recipe OR pin it! I was in a panic, but thankfully I found it again!
This is so delicious I will never buy pizza sauce again. Thank you!!
Yay! So glad you found it again Mandy and love it as much as we do. You are most welcome!
It was wonderful Suzie! I added about 1/4 tsp of chili flakes for just s touch of heat! I will never buy canned pizza sauce again! Thank you for the receipe 😀
Yes, that’s smart Lisa, a little bit of chili flakes that would be perfect and yay! So happy you like the recipe. 🙂 Thank you for letting me know.

Thank you so much for this recipe. I made a pizza for lunch and this sauce was perfect and very easy to make.
Yay!!! So happy you liked in Jonleen!!! Thank you for letting me know. You just made my day.
I pinned this to my Do Over Recipes board after making it once. Easy and soo tasty! Thanks!
Awesome! So glad it passed the test Kerrie!!!
I made this and it was so easy and tasty. But next time I would like to substitute honey for the sugar. Do u think this would be OK and if so, how much honey will I need? Thank you for sharing the recipe.
Hi Mo! You can try just 1 tsp of honey at first and see how it goes. Taste it and add more if you need to. Better to start with too little than too much!
Yummy! My favorite sauce now
Yes!!! So happy to hear it Stacey! 🙂 Thanks for letting me know you liked it.
Currently making this for tonight’s date nignt making pizzas. Love how easy, tasty and cheap it is, defiant winnet and will be saving me some money, thank you
I hope you liked the pizza sauce Sarah! Happy to help!
I am on a low sodium diet so I can get the no salt added tomato sauce to make it. Thanks for the inspiration!
I hope the no salt tomato sauce still resulted in a lovely pizza sauce Deb!
Absolutely wonderful.
Maura, you just made my day! I am so happy you like the pizza sauce!
Delish and super easy! I love that I could pick out any plain canned sauce and “Doctor it up” w the spices right in my pantry! Exactly what I needed to make quick pizzas w my kids tonight. My little twist: to minimize sugar/carbs I used coconut palm sugar and it was perfect👍😉
Eliz, yes, Doctor it up! I LOVE that! Oh wow, smart idea to use coconut palm sugar, way to go on doctoring it up perfectly.
I will never buy jar sauce again. This is awesome sauce!
Can I make this and can it for other day ?
How long will it last refrigerated
Thank you

This is absolutely the best pizza sauce I’ve ever tasted!! I agree with the other ladies…I always want extra sauce on my pizza. My daughters always order light on the sauce (drives me nuts!) Now I can make my own with all the sauce I want!! Thanks so much!!
Can this be frozen?
