This deliciously easy pizza sauce from scratch uses tomato sauce, tomato paste, onions, olive oil, garlic, and herbs and makes the perfect topper for your homemade pizza recipes!

Isn't homemade pizza the best?!!! It's definitely one of my kid's favorite meals. I'd much rather make it at home than have it delivered. It's fun to get creative with toppings and let everyone come up with their own customized version.

I've been making this simple homemade pizza sauce for a while,  It's so much more flavorful than the store-bought stuff and makes the best pizza! This recipe makes enough sauce for 3-4 pizzas. Store any remaining sauce in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

Simmer sauce for 10-15 minutes and you're done! Top your favorite pizza crust with sauce and then layer on your favorite toppings. Why do delivery when homemade pizza is this easy and good!
