All you have to do is stir together 6 staple ingredients and voila! Delicious pizza sauce that is ready to be used in Pizza Bowls, on pizza, as a dip and more!
If you have never used homemade sauce before, this recipe is the best place to start. I promise it is worth the two minutes of effort!
The Ingredients
- Tomato Paste
- Olive Oil- Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil in order to ensure the best tasting pizza sauce. Avocado oil also works.
- Ground Oregano- If you are using dried oregano instead of ground, increase it to 1 tsp.
- Garlic Powder- You could also use 2 cloves that are finely minced.
- Sea Salt
- Red Pepper Flakes- Reduce these if you are sensitive to spice or increase them if you want a pizza sauce with more kick.
- Water- Start with a lower quantity and add more as needed to reach your desired consistency.
The Method
1. Mix. Add all of the ingredients to a bowl except the water. Stir to combine. Mix in the water, adding more if you would like a thinner sauce.

Make Ahead: This recipe can be made up to 4 days in advance. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
To Store: Store in airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator.
