From a real, flawed, food-motivated human- thank you for sharing what is actually "the best pizza sauce" recipe!!! We've been making it to go on our old Alaskan sourdough pizzas and it truly is delicious. May karma bless you with abundance and good health.

Oh man, you're not kidding! I just mixed up a batch this morning for one of tonight's pizzas. Taste test says, "YUM!" Not my usual reaction, lol. I'm a (former) Chicago gal and dearly miss my fave pizzas. There is nothing like it. We moved away in 2006 and have been slowly working on recapturing it at home over the years. Finally found a dough we love a few years ago. That's huge. Thank you for this sauce recipe! Can't wait to taste it on the pizza later.

I had fresh frozen chopped tomatoes which I simmered for an hour to reduce as a replacement for the tomato sauce. The result was amazing, loved the flavours. Will definitely make again.

This recipe was super easy to make and more importantly it tastes fantastic.

Excellent! My first time making homemade pizza with my 5 year old son. This recipe tasted really good and avoided the stove which many others called for. We added in some chopped fresh garlic.
