Traditional Pizza Sauce, 15 Oz

Look, I’ll be honest: I didn't buy this Amazon-brand pizza sauce because I was trying to recreate a rustic, wood-fired Neapolitan masterpiece. I bought it because I was on a desperate, slightly unhinged quest to find a dupe for the strangely sweet, highly processed nectar of the gods known as Chef Boyardee pizza sauce. Here is the breakdown of my culinary heartbreak: The Good News: If you just want a standard, middle-of-the-road generic pizza sauce, congratulations. You found it. It’s red, it has herbs in it, and it successfully acts as a barrier between your crust and your cheese. It is aggressively *fine*. The Bad News: It is absolutely not the Chef. It severely lacks that artificial, nostalgic 1990s sweetness that I was craving. Quite frankly, it tastes entirely too much like actual tomatoes and not nearly enough like my childhood memories. The Verdict: If you are a normal adult making a normal pizza on a Tuesday night, add it to your cart. It gets the job done. But if you, like me, are chasing the highly specific culinary high of a boxed Chef Boyardee pizza kit from 1998... keep walking. The Chef's secret remains safe, and my search continues.

We’ve tried a lot of different pizza sauces and this one is better than them all. It’s also the cheapest option which is an even better perk. Tastes like a higher quality sauce to me!

This comes in a standard canned format, and it is very straightforward to use. The can is easy to open and store, and the sauce pours out without any difficulty. It spreads easily on pizza dough and has a smooth consistency that makes it simple to work with. It is not too thick or too watery, so it stays in place fairly well while assembling a pizza. The flavor is mild and familiar, which makes it easy to pair with different toppings. It does not overpower anything, so it works more as a base that you can build on depending on what you add. The texture is smooth without large chunks, which helps it spread evenly across the crust. It bakes without becoming overly runny, which keeps the overall pizza balanced. It is a simple and affordable option that works well for homemade pizza without needing anything fancy or complicated. Overall, it's a decent pizza sauce that is easy to use and reliable for quick homemade pizza nights.

This is The Best Pizza Sauce ever. First it's a pop top can no need for a can opener . When I opened the can it smells like Basil & Oragano. Sauce is thick not watery. Ordered 4 more cans and use it also for my pasta sauce it's REALLY DELICIOUS. I recommend this Amazon Pizza Sauce you won't be sorry. Order 1 can and you'll be back to order more. Promise..A+

Amazing!! You can use for dipping breadsticks as well!

Little sweet. Not bad. Not great. Just ok

I'm a total red sauce freak. I use marinara for everything, pasta, pizzza, etc. BUT.....I've started buying Amazon products including this fab pizza sauce. I've literally tried everything on the shelves and this sauce in my opinion is TOP SHELF. It is a nice thick consistency as I like, the taste is better than the pizzza joints. All this is my opinion of course and if you are a red sauce freak, I would invite you to try it. Had it today with toasted Ravioli....oooolala. I am trying the salad dressings and other products and so far I am not dissatisfied with anything and to top it off, I've save a few pennies. :)

I first purchased this pizza sauce last year and wasn't expecting much for the price, but at under a dollar it was worth a try. WOW!!! What amazing stuff! Rich, thick consistency, perfectly seasoned...without a doubt the best store-bought pizza sauce I ever had, and what a bargain! I often make individual sized homemade pizzas, and even after making a pie what was left in the can filled the jar that I had saved from my last jar of Walmart sauce to the top. I hurriedly ordered more - I wanted a dozen, but the max allowable was 10, but no problem - I placed another order after that! Meanwhile I told all my friends and family whom I know make homemade pizza to get some of this absolutely fabulous sauce, and placed several more orders myself. Then came the crash. The recipe was changed. I opened a can, and instead of the thick, rich, wonderful sauce I had come to love, what the can contained was watery chopped tomato, with not even a hint of seasoning. Thinking this was a fluke, I opened a second can...then a third. All of them were a major disappointment; had the first can I purchased been like them I would never have gotten more. I still have a number of cans made from the original recipe and they're still in the carton they were shipped in so I know which they are, but I also have quite a few of the nasty ones. Not only do I now have to tell everyone I recommended this sauce to to not waste their money on it, but I don't know what to do with the watery tomato "sauce" - I don't even feel right donating them to a food pantry. I hate it when manufacturers take an excellent product and - to save money - totally ruin it. I'll never buy this again - it's back to Walmart or Ragu brand for me...or better yet, homemade! Edit to add: I see others have commented that the recipe is back to the original, and there must have been an error on Amazon's part where plain diced tomatoes were mislabeled as pizza sauce. Far be it from Amazon to contact customers to make things right! In any case, when I first purchased this sauce a few months ago it was 89 cents a can; as of today it's $1.69. No thanks Amazon - you can keep it.
