We consulted an expert. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios I wrote an about pizza. That means I’ve spent some quality time with the ingredients required to make it.
And while my favorite is the one I make, sometimes, on busy weeknights, making it feels like an extra time-consuming step. That’s when I enlist the help of a store-bought shortcut. The one I use most often is swapping in my favorite for my own.
It can’t be just any sauce though, it has to be one brand in particular. Here’s why I think makes the best pizza sauce you can buy. For me, every component on a pizza is important.
Like any delicious dish, the ingredients work together so that when you take a bite, all you can say is, “Mmmm!” One bad ingredient can destroy a whole pizza, and the experience of eating it. I remember a particular time where a that was promised on the menu failed to deliver once it arrived at the table. The , a normally boldly-flavored ingredient, couldn’t be detected.
I remember lifting up the cheese to see if it had somehow been forgotten, but there it was, green-hued and looking like pesto, but not tasting like it. All of the excitement shattered with that one ingredient mishap. I never want anyone who eats pizza to have that experience.
I want every bite to elicit joy and satisfaction. That’s the reason I and many of my own sauces. My standards are high, and yours should be too.
I’m also very aware though, that time doesn’t allow us the luxury of making everything from scratc.
