Easy Pizza Sauce
Make this rich, red pizza sauce with basic pantry ingredients! This pizza sauce recipe is so delicious and ready in about 5 minutes. Recipe yields about 1 ¾ cups, enough for about 2 large pizzas.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 can (14 ounces) crushed tomatoes,* fire-roasted or regular
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon fine salt
- Up to 1 teaspoon coconut sugar or brown sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Measure the tomato paste into a small mixing bowl. Add a big splash of the crushed tomatoes and whisk until the tomato paste is fully incorporated.
- Pour in the rest of the tomatoes, then add the olive oil, garlic, vinegar, oregano and salt. Whisk to blend.
- Taste, and if the mixture is too acidic (tomatoes vary in flavor from can to can), stir in a little sugar to balance it out. Use as desired. Leftover pizza sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or you can freeze it for several months.
Notes

*Tomato options: You can also use canned whole tomatoes or diced tomatoes. Just blitz them in a blender or food processor until they resemble the crushed tomato consistency shown in the photos.
