What is Pizza Sauce?

Pizza sauce is different from other tomato sauces such as marinara. It is not cooked prior to baking the pizza, which results in a brighter flavor. Pizza sauce is a blend of tomato paste, water, oil and many herbs and seasonings. This red sauce is thinner than a tomato-based pasta sauce. The flavors are rich and light with a sweet and tangy umami taste.
