When it comes to pizza night, we love making our own pizzas instead of ordering in, and a pizza is only as good as its sauce!
Luckily I’ve got you covered with this easy pizza sauce that doesn’t require any cooking, just blend the ingredients and spread it all over your favorite crust. Use it in your favorite pizza recipe, like cauliflower pizza casserole, a calzone, or dip.
This recipe is a great way to add flair and flavor to your homemade pizzas and it’s great as a dip too, or stir it into some warm pasta.

How to make easy no-cook pizza sauce
- Add ingredients to a blender or food processor.
- Pulse a few times until desired consistency.
Can you make it ahead of time?
This recipe makes enough for two cups of sauce, so you are likely to have some leftover. Place the sauce in a sealed jar or airtight container and it will keep for up to a week. It can be used straight out of the fridge.
Can you freeze it?
This is a great recipe if you are looking for some batch cooking! The sauce will keep well frozen for up to 2 months. Defrost the suace in the fridge overnight before using.
Recipe Variations
This pizza sauce is pretty good as it is, but there are a few swaps you can make to suit your tastes.
- I like to blend whole tomatoes to make this, but you can use a thick canned pure tomato sauce and mix the other ingredients into it.
- I like to add red pepper flakes because I like my pizza sauce a little spicy. Feel free to omit the flakes for less heat or add more for spicy pizza sauce.
- Depending on the brand of tomatoes you use, you may need to add a little sugar to cut through the acidity, but you can omit this if you prefer. You can also substitute white sugar for coconut sugar for a paleo sauce.
Recipe Notes and Tips
- This recipe is easily doubled and tripled.
- Spread the sauce evenly on the crust and don’t be stingy, add a nice thick layer.
- The tomato paste makes the sauce thicker and more spreadable, so don’t skip this ingredient.
