What is the difference between Pizza Sauce and Spaghetti Sauce?

Pizza sauce and spaghetti sauce are Italian tomato-based sauces, but they vary quite a bit in their ingredients and flavor.

Pizza sauce is typically made with canned or fresh tomatoes, oregano, garlic, basil, black pepper, and sometimes a splash of olive oil. It tends to be thinner than spaghetti sauce, with a slight sweetness from the tomatoes.

Spaghetti sauce usually contains canned or fresh tomatoes, onions, garlic, herbs such as parsley or basil, red wine or balsamic vinegar for acidity, and olive oil for richness and sweetness from brown sugar or honey. This type of sauce tends to be thicker than pizza sauce with a more complex flavor profile.

Should homemade pizza sauce be cooked?

This recipe is my go-to when wanting a quick pizza sauce, so the recipe does not need to be cooked.

Can I use ketchup as pizza sauce?

This is a very common question; I do not use it because I don’t like the taste, but if you find ketchup you love and want to try, go for it!
