The Best Pizza Sauce is a big claim.
The “Best” sauce really does vary depending on taste. Some people like their pizza sauce sweet, while others like theirs overflowing with oregano and garlic.
Some like less sauce so that the other flavors are balanced and accentuated (me), while others would rather their pizza swimming in sauce (my husband).
It’s a matter of taste. Nevertheless, this sauce is awesome!
The sautéed onions and garlic make all the difference. The added flavor from the sauté and olive oil is significant. I’ve tried to short cut the recipe and add dried onions and garlic powder. You can really tell. It was not nearly as good, so take the few extra minutes to sauté the fresh garlic and onions for that blow your mind flavor!
You know it’s good when your family keeps trying other sauces and says, “This is nothing like your sauce, mom!” or “This is pretty good, but it’s still not as good as yours.” And believe me, they tell me when they don’t like something I’ve cooked, so they’re not just being nice. It definitely passes the family test.
I use this sauce for almost everything requiring marinara, not just pizza. It will go in my Pizza Rolls, on Spaghetti, with Pizza Crust and Bread Sticks, etc.
