Notes

Top Tips
  • Since the sauce is so simple, use high quality ingredients. The olive oil, garlic, and tomatoes should all be high quality for the best flavor.
  • Crush the tomatoes well so they aren't too chunky.
  • Be sure to season to taste to get your preferred flavor.
Storage
  • Refrigerate leftover pizza sauce in an air-tight container for up to 1 week. You can also freeze pizza sauce in a freezer safe bag for up to 3 months.
