Homemade Pizza Sauce – Step by Step
- This is an easy homemade pizza sauce. It's just five ingredients. Tomatoes, Garlic, Olive Oil, Italian Seasoning & Salt.
- Just toss all 5 ingredients into a pot and blend them. I will use a garlic press to ensure the garlic is well crushed up before blending. I use a immersion blender, but you can use a standard blender or a food process if that's what you have.
- You can cook the homemade pizza sauce for about 30 minutes if you want a thick sauce. This will cook out some water from the tomatoes and make a thicker sauce. The sauce is perfectly fine without cooking it, it will just be a thinner sauce.
- Spread about 1/4 cup of sauce on a 12 inch pizza from the center to the edges. I like to make sure the center doesn't have too much sauce and the sauce goes all the way to the edges.

Let me preface that since I got an outdoor pizza oven, I have made no less than 24 pizzas on it within the last 60 days. And… only 2 of those 24 were burned. 🙂 Yes, it takes some practice, but I have gotten really good at it. I have tried many different variations of pizza sauce. Today, I will share my recipe for making homemade pizza sauce.
