Looking for pizza sauce in the grocery store? There are a few different aisles it could be in, so we'll show you which ones to check First, try the pasta sauce aisle. If you aren't seeing pizza sauce there, look in the aisle with other types of sauces. In many grocery stores you can actually find pizza sauce in a separate pizza section. This may be near the produce area or the deli.
Look for any coolers with pizza dough and cheese. This one may be pretty obvious, but pizza is all about the toppings. Measure content performance. Develop and improve products.

Our Top Picks. Best Overall:. Best Budget:. Each jar yields plenty of sauce for more than a handful of pies, yet rings in at less than a couple of dollars per bottle. Best Chunky:. Best for Kids:. Rather than fiddle with spoons that inevitably lead to spills, kids can get a good grip on the packaging and squeeze the sauce. Best Keto:. Despite being low-carb and gluten-free, the slow-simmered sauce is bursting with flavors.
Best Jarred:. Though the jar is smaller than some other comparable products, each jar contains just the right amount for a large sheet pan pizza. While thickness can be debated slightly, the texture should most definitely be smooth. If you are looking for a pizza sauce to use as a dip or accompaniment then chunky versions will be just fine. However, if you use a chunky pizza sauce on a pizza, it can result in an undercooked, soggy dough as the chunks retain water and will prevent your pizza base from cooking evenly.
There are many different types of pizza to try , but we always recommend choosing a smooth, thick pizza sauce for best results. Prime, San Marzano tomatoes essential to an authentic Margherita pizza , are the best choice.
Aside from tomatoes, spices and herbs are found in most versions. The majority will also have garlic, while onion is also prevalent. Italian herbs are the most popular, with oregano proving a popular addition. However, you can always quickly and easily add a couple of your favorite herbs or spices to your store-bought pizza sauce to get it tasting just how you like it. Cheese is another popular addition.
Although not necessary, it does round off the sauce, giving it a richer, warmer flavor. For a more versatile pizza sauce for use also as a dip or accompaniment, look for pizza sauces containing more ingredients, spices and possibly cheese. We also have a guide to the best cheeses for pizza you can check out. Often the simplest pizza sauces with high-quality ingredients work out the best and are easy to adapt by simply adding a few herbs or spices for a customized flavor to suit your preferences.
If you are looking for an authentic style pizza sauce, then you should consider opting for a version with olive oil. With its clean taste, mono-saturated fats and anti-inflammatory properties , olive oil is arguably the best choice to go for.
It is also the traditional oil of choice for any pizza sauce. Other pizza sauces contain vegetable oil, with soybean found in numerous recipes. Soybean oil contains mostly polyunsaturated fats that are considered heart-healthy. Corn oil is the cheapest of the three and while it contains some healthy components and has a mild taste, it is the least healthy compared to soybean and olive oil.
Corn oil is highly refined and high in Omega-6 fats, if you or your family already have a high Omega-6 intake, then you should consider purchasing another pizza sauce with a different oil base. Visible onion chunks and a watery consistency made this hard to get through on its own.
It was also less sweet than the others. I have a bias toward smoothness in a pizza sauce, and this lacked smoothness. The visible specks of spice were visually nice, but the oregano left a bitter aftertaste despite a heaping dose of sweetness. This was the only organic sauce sampled. When I opened the can, I had to stir to fold in oil that had settled on top.
True to its tomato brand roots, this was one step away from eating tomato paste, and not a good candidate for dipping. Orange in color, this was the thinnest sauce of the bunch by a country mile. There was no sauce texture on whatever we dipped into it; instead, they just became sauce-flavored crackers or crusts. Despite the off-putting texture, the flavor really was not bad.
It had a better mix of spice and sweetness than a few of the other jarred sauces. Served cold, this tasted like a sweet and herbacious marinara; again, not too different from store-bought spaghetti sauce.
Heated up, this blended into the background of the pizza.
