🧾 Ingredient Notes
Redpack Crushed Tomatoes:
- Highly Recommend using Redpack brand crushed tomatoes for the most authentic New York style pizza sauce flavor.
- Not recommended brands:
- Hunts (makes the sauce tangy or sour)
- Cento (adds a slightly bitter note)
- San Marzano tomatoes (my favorite for other Italian recipes, but it makes the sauce too thin and the pizza soggy).
Sugar and Salt: Sugar balances the acidity of the tomatoes and ensures it doesn’t overpower the sauce. Salt enhances the overall flavor profile of the sauce.
Dried Oregano and Dried Basil: Dried oregano brings a burst of aromatic herbaceousness to the sauce, reminiscent of classic Italian cuisine. At the same time, dried basil adds a mild, sweet, and slightly peppery flavor.
Garlic Powder: Garlic powder adds a gentle garlic essence without overpowering the other ingredients and enhances the flavor of the sauce.

💭 Expert Tips For No Cook Pizza Sauce
- Must use Redpack brand of crushed tomatoes to ensure the best flavor and consistency of your sauce.
- While San Marzano tomatoes are excellent for some Italian dishes, they can lead to a thin sauce and results into soggy pizza.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings according to your liking. You can add more sugar or salt to adjust the seasoning.
- Add crushed red chili flakes to the sauce if you are craving a bit of heat.
🥣 Storage Instructions
- To refrigerate, place the sauce in an airtight container. It will last for up to 5 days.
- To freeze your sauce, consider portioning it into smaller quantities. Silicone molds are your allies here, with each mold holding around ¼ cup of sauce. Pour your sauce into the molds and pop them in the freezer until they're frozen solid. Then transfer to a freezer-safe ziplock bag and it stays good for up to 3 months.
- To thaw the frozen sauce portions, simply remove a portion in a bowl and place it in the refrigerator or at room temperature until it gets a liquid consistency.

What's the difference between your last pizza sauce recipe and this recipe? And thanks for whole wheat flour pizza.
Kanan
Only difference is addition of fresh basil leaves.
I wanted to make separate post for only pizza sauce. So for all the pizza recipes I share in future, I don't have to include the same photos for sauce. That would make the post lengthy. So divided into parts
