I made a double batch of this for the first time this evening - I really enjoyed it! I think this is a great base recipe - you can really do what you want with it. On the suggestion of many reviewers, I simply added a pinch of sugar and I think that was great - everything else I followed "roughly" (I don't measure herbs and things anymore). This is a keeper, thanks!

I've tried a couple pizza sauce recipes on this site and never really liked any of them, until I found this one! As others noted, it's a terrific base to start with and tinker to your tastes. I added 1/4 tsp of marjoram and 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning in addition to the called for spices. I also cut the sugar and grated Parmesan in half and omitted the wine. after simmering i turned the burner off and let it sit there on the warm stove covered while I baked cookies and prepared the whole wheat pizza crust so that the flavors would have time to blend even more. It turned out fantastic! I had friends over for dinner and they raved! Definitely a keeper in my recipe box. Thanks!!

This sauce is not too bad. I did not use the alloted amount of sugar. I only used a pinch. This is great to get you started creating your own flavors or following the recipe is a good thing as well.

This was great. I was in need of a recipe for sauce that didn't require tomato sauce b/c I didn't have any. Luckily I found this one and it was wonderful. Very good! I will use it again and again.

Nope not impressed. Sorry, I so wanted it to be good since it is very easy to make. It had a weird tinny taste I couldn't put my finger on may have been the wine I used, maybe good to drink but not good to put in pizza sauce I don't know for sure. I thought it just needed more sugar so I ended up putting a bit more than 3 teaspoons and that was my limit would have been too sweet with anymore. Tried to add more spices and still blah. Darn it.

To me, this was just average. It tasted like it had a little too much garlic and sugar. I also used generic red cooking wine, which probably didn't help. Don't get me wrong, this sauce went pretty good on a homemade pizza, but I wouldn't use it over pasta.

I have always used an uncooked sauce for my pizza. I will use this from now on, really gave it that "pizzeria" taste. I left out the wine and added extra spices to taste.

This was phenomenal! I used Cavit Pinot Noir for the wine and only 1 tbs of sugar instead of 2. I only had a mix of Parmesan and Romano cheese so I used that. It was absolutely delicious! We made pizza using the Pizza Dough II recipe from this site. I will definitely make this sauce again.

Yum! The only thing I might change next time is adding just a teensy bit less sugar. (My husband doesn't care for sweet sauces.) However, if you try this and think it's too sweet, a teaspoon or so of vinegar will help. Just for myself, I thought it was great. MUCH better than most jarred sauces. NOTE: I do recommend this for pizzas, but not as a pasta sauce.

The BEST pizza sauce! I can't figure out why there aren't more ratings yet for this recipe. I have tried many others looking for the perfect pizza sauce to go with the perfect pizza. Although my pizzas were really good, there was something missing. This recipe is the missing link. It is absolutely delicious on pizza and nothing is missing anymore. You must try it!

I followed the recipe and it tasted too much like tomato paste. I added an extra 1/4 c of water to knock off the overly acidic taste, and a teaspoon of Italian Seasoning for some extra flavor. We had it on pasta. The kids ate it and hubby said "It's alright." I'll keep looking.

Beautiful color & consistency. Made the recipe as stated & used it on pizza. Did not find it too sweet. It is kinda bland though. This is a great base sauce to tweak & make it to your liking. Maybe some red pepper flakes?

Good basic recipe. However, I cut sugar to 1 tsp. It's very mild as far as spices go, so I played with it and add additional spices to suit my family's tastes. Makes enough sauce for 4-6 personal pizzas.

This was too sweet and I used only half of the recommended sugar. I liked the ease and thickness of it but will not be using this recipe again due to lack of flavor.

The sauce was good as a pizza sauce, but does not stand alone. At all. If you're looking for pizza sauce, use this recipe, but if you're looking for pasta sauce, look somewhere else.
