Do you cook pizza sauce?

Almost all great pizzerias use tomatoes straight from the can, mix the sauce, and that’s it. If you cook the sauce before you put it on the pizza, you will concentrate the flavors but you will lose the natural sweetness and some of the acidity of the tomatoes. Whenever Chef Justin is making a tomato sauce for pizza, everything goes in raw. The cooking happens when pizza cooks.

How long can you store pizza sauce in the refrigerator?

Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Use within 5 days for peak freshness.
