Homemade Pizza Sauce


My family loves Friday night pizza nights! Saying that they love it just might be an understatement! Seriously … it has to be one of our favorite foods in the Love Bakes Good Cakes house! My kiddos love suggesting and making some pretty crazy pizzas! Hot dog with macaroni and cheese pizza, anyone?

For years, I used a homemade pizza sauce recipe that I got from one of my aunt’s. Although it was good, I was on the quest for the perfect one. This my friend, is the perfect one at my house. This Homemade Pizza Sauce has soooo much more flavor than that store-bought stuff – and I love that I can easily adjust the spices according to my family’s preference. 

Since this recipe makes about 3 cups of pizza sauce, I often have a bit leftover for during the week if I want to make pizza pinwheels or homemade pizza rolls for lunch. Sometimes, I place the extra sauce in sterilized mason jars and freeze it until our next pizza night. I just let it thaw in the refrigerator when I know I’m going to need it. 

Homemade Pizza Sauce is so easy to make, why don’t you make a batch for your next pizza night?! I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!

    How long does it last in the fridge.

    1. Jamie says:

      Properly stored in an airtight container in the fridge, it should last about 5-7 days.

    About how many Pizzas could you use this sauce on?

    1. Jamie says:

      Depending on how heavy you like the sauce, I would say 2-4 pizzas? Maybe 5 if you like thin sauce.
