Best Homemade Pizza Sauce Recipe

This is the best homemade pizza sauce recipe that Chef Paul Hegeman has ever made.

Having created many recipes for basic pizza sauce over the years, this one is by far the one that garners the most compliments. As such, I have stopped tweaking and changing the recipe and use this one 99% of the time.

Tip: It works great on the famous New York style pizza.

Note: This homemade pizza sauce recipe makes enough for approx 10 medium-large pizzas.
