Your Favorite Pizza Sauce Recipes - Dare To Crown Your Pizzas!

Pizza Sauce Recipes - People say it's the cheese. Others say that it's the crust. Then there are those that swear that a good pizza is judged by the variety of its toppings. But what about the pie sauce recipes? Let's not forget to honor this unsung hero of the pizza pie brigade - pizza sauce recipes!

Sure, there's such a thing as "white" or sauceless pizzas, but can it be a pizza without sauce is, well, can it really be Italian? Actually, it is Italian and, she says sauceless pizzas deserve their place on the menu, they just don't belong in my mouth. Well maybe sometimes...

While she considers the firmness of the crust and the doneness of the toppings when she is judging the quality of a pizza, there's nothing that tingles her taste buds more than authentic pizza sauce recipes that capture that unique sweetness of the well-heeled tomato!

You may very well not hold a world record for eating pizza. And, while you won't find me in the Guiness Book of World Records, I definitely think all pizza lovers deserve to be there! Here's one thing that I've found to be true. Given that everything else is equal -- the crust is just right, the cheese is melted perfectly and the toppings are done "to the bite", the difference between an OK pizza and the kind of pizza that you get at great Italian Restaurants in Calgary is undoubtedly the quality of their pizza sauce recipes.

Pizza sauce isn't some after thought that you ladle on top of the pie just before it hits the oven. It's not ketchup on fries, sugar in your tea. Oh no, it's far from that. Her good pizza sauce, the kind that can only be made from authentic Italian pizza sauce recipes, is the fragrance of the rose, the touch of silk and satin, the sensual blending of vine ripe tomatoes, herbs, spices she gently simmers until just the exact moment when the sweetness and savory flavor bursts through the misty steam wafting up from the uncovered pot and screams "I'm DONE!" That's what her pizza sauce made from real Italian pizza sauce recipes is. Anything less might as well come from a jar.
