Old School Pizza Sauce

By prairiemama

I have looked for a long time for a great pizza sauce recipe. I used to work at a couple pizza places but only one of them had great pizza. The place that had great sauce had a lot of amazing food. It was a small place called High Desert Pizza in Ivins Utah, not a chain or anything. Along with their Focaccia Sandwich their pizzas were amazing. After I left the place was bought by one of the workers there and she ran it into the ground. Sad. Since then I have been trying to find something close to the sauce they had for their pizza. I think i have found it

Ingredients

• 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
• 2 t. dried oregano
• 2 t. dried basil
• 2 t. garlic powder
• 1 t. onion powder
• 1 t. ground sweet paprika
• 2 t. sugar
• 1/2 t. salt
• Fresh cracked pepper to taste
• 4 T. olive oil
• 2 t. white vinegar

Preparation

Step 1

Mix all ingredients in a bowl or container

I have found that if it sits a day or so in the fridge the spices get married to the tomato sauce/paste it tastes a bit better than fresh, but it is ready to use the moment you are done mixing. This also makes a good dipping sauce for bread sticks
