Pizza is a staple in our household! We usually have it twice a month. Sometimes we order takeout, and sometimes we make it ourselves. When I do make pizza at home, I love this easy-to-make Pizza Sauce recipe. It’s a must-try!
We all love our pizza but there is something just so satisfying when you make it yourself. Whether you are making the dough from scratch, making the sauce or just assembling it and baking it in your oven, it’s pretty difficult to fail when making pizza.
Since I always have some Italian Seasoning on hand, that’s what I used for this sauce recipe. If you don’t have any and don’t feel like buying some, you can substitute for a combination of dried oregano, dried basil and some dried thyme. One to one and a half teaspoons should be good for this sauce. But feel free to tweak the quantities for your taste buds.
The average pizza uses about 3/4 cup of pizza sauce so this pizza sauce recipe should be good for about 5 pizzas. Obviously, this depends on the size of the pizza and how much sauce you like on your pizza.

I made this yesterday and will use it tonight for pizza for my family. I have tasted it and it is delicious. Not spicy and I have decided to use any leftover sauce for spaghetti sauce.
