This isn’t a big-to-do, fru-fru, fancy pizza sauce. It doesn’t have wine or fresh basil or whatever. It isn’t like our favorite homemade sauce that takes a little effort (and a lot more ingredients) to throw together. Everything that goes in it is probably already in your pantry… hence the name, pantry pizza sauce.
Easy And Delicious
What this pantry pizza sauce is is easy, fast, and tasty. It’s perfect for when you just want to throw together a quick pizza. And that’s exactly what I did. But don’t let things like ‘fast’ and ‘easy’ throw you. This sauce is packed with flavor. It’s not overly sweet. It’s not overly herby. It has the perfect balance of flavors.
This sauce is also great as a dipping sauce for breadsticks.
It takes a little more time, but also try my house pizza sauce.
