This is a simple to make, fantastic tasting pizza sauce. We used it for grilled pizzas with homemade crust, The Art of Making the Perfect Pizza Dough 236785, which went together really well. I made no modifications to the ingredients. I don't think I have to look any further for a perfect pizza sauce---this is the one I will be using in the future. Thanks, SAMS-Club!

This sauce is awesome. I put all the spices into my mini chopper to grind them fine, mostly because I was a bit worried about biting into whole fennel seeds. (DH is picky!). Anyway, it came out great and I made this pizza sauce twice this week because I've been experimenting with pizza dough. The second time I was really short on time and also out of celery, so I ended up making it without the first 4 ingredients... still fabulous!

10 stars! I doubled the recipe and was glad I did. This comes close to the pasta sauce at a local restaurant that I wanted the recipe for. I plan to use this for more than just pizza. It would be very good for a baked pasta dish. Also for dipping toasted ravioli. Thank you very much for submitting this recipe.
