Basic Tomato Sauce Simply press a can a imported Italian tomatoes through a food mill. Your sauce with be light and fresh tasting, not cooked, sweet or spicy. Ladle enough sauce on your pizza base of

Dried Tomato Sauce You can make your own dried tomato sauce from dried tomatoes in olive oil, herbs and garlic, or buy prepared one in a jar. The flavor of the dried tomatoes is more concentrated and sweeter than a fresh sauce, and can make a more intense tasting pizza.

Dried Tomato and Pesto Sauce Again, you can make your own sauce either by making a dried tomato sauce and pesto and mixing them, or by mixing prepared tomato and pesto sauces.
