❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Pizza Sauce
What’s the difference between this homemade pizza sauce and store-bought?
This homemade pizza sauce has a far more vibrant, fresh flavor than anything you can buy in a store. The key is using high-quality ingredients like San Marzano tomatoes and fresh herbs.
Can I use other types of tomatoes instead of San Marzano?
While other tomatoes will work in a pinch, keep in mind that they’ll change the flavor profile of your sauce. San Marzano tomatoes have a naturally sweeter, less acidic taste that makes them perfect for this recipe.
How long does this sauce keep in the fridge?
You can store this sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. If you won’t be using it within that timeframe, consider freezing it for later.
Can I make this sauce in bulk and freeze it?
Yes! This sauce freezes beautifully and can be stored for up to 6 months in an airtight container or freezer bag.
What if I want to add some heat to my pizza sauce?
Feel free to add some red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños to give your sauce an extra kick. Just be mindful that adding too much heat can overpower the other flavors.
