Homemade tomato sauce for pizza is new to me. I typically use store bought pizza sauce but I decided to try making my own and wanted to share the recipe.

Homemade Tomato Pizza Sauce Recipe

I am writing this blog post from a my friend’s guest bedroom in South Dakota! My kids are on spring break so I traveled with a friend who lives near me to our friend’s house for Easter. I wanted to put a quick blog post so that my page wasn’t empty all week and I wanted to give you a heads up that I won’t be very active.

Spices In Sauce

Put crushed tomatoes, oregano, Italian seasoning, garlic salt and onion powder in a large stock pot. Simmer the sauce for about 15 minutes while stirring constantly. Since the sauce is very thick it will spatter but the large pot will help keep the mess contained.

Homemade Pizza Sauce

Once the sauce is the desired thickness, removed from heat.

Fresh Mozzarella Basil

I used the pizza sauce to make a Margherita pizza. First I brushed the crust with olive oil and then I topped it with fresh mozzarella and basil.

Pizza Sauce Recipe

I decided to put the pizza sauce on the top this time like a New York style pizza but it can go on the bottom as well.

Pizza Sauce On Pizza

I baked the pizza at 450°F for about 8 minutes.

Pepperoni Pizza

I also used the sauce to make a pepperoni pizza in the same way. We still had more sauce leftover so I put it in a jar and stored it in the fridge.

    Your sauce looks delicious. So does your pizza. Tomato, Basil & Mozzarella is one of my favorite types of pizza!

    Ummmmm….. I sure do love pizza. I’ve never made my own sauce either, but I might just give it a try. Ummmmm, now I want pizza. I can smell it. OH, that’s because my son is warming left over from last night as his breakfast.

    Yum! I love homemade pizza sauce. I make it in large batches and freeze it {some friends I have can it} for use later. So much better than store bought ๐Ÿ™‚
