Uncooked Pizza Sauce

Fresh, Bold Flavor in Minutes

This uncooked pizza sauce is the secret behind many of the world’s best pizzas. Popular in Neapolitan and wood-fired styles, this no-cook sauce preserves the natural sweetness of tomatoes while delivering a clean, vibrant flavor that cooks perfectly on the pizza itself.

If you want a sauce that tastes bright, authentic, and restaurant-quality, this uncooked version is a must-try.


Why Choose an Uncooked Pizza Sauce?

  • Pure Tomato Flavor – Nothing gets cooked away

  • Ultra-Fast – Ready in under 5 minutes

  • Authentic Pizzeria Style – Used by professional pizza makers

  • Perfect Texture – Cooks naturally in the oven


Ingredients

  • 1 can (14–15 oz / 400–425 g) whole peeled tomatoes (San Marzano preferred)

  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

  • ¾ tsp sea salt

  • ½ tsp dried oregano (optional)

  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

  • Optional: 1 small garlic clove, finely grated

Traditional note: Authentic Neapolitan pizza often uses only tomatoes and salt—everything else is optional.


Instructions

  1. Crush the Tomatoes
    Place tomatoes in a bowl and crush by hand or pulse briefly in a food processor until smooth but slightly textured.

  2. Season
    Add olive oil, salt, oregano (if using), red pepper flakes, and garlic (optional). Stir gently.

  3. Rest the Sauce
    Let sit at room temperature for 15–30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

  4. Use Immediately
    Spread a thin layer over pizza dough. The sauce will cook naturally in the oven.


Pro Tips for Perfect Uncooked Pizza Sauce

  • Use high-quality tomatoes – They make all the difference

  • Keep it simple – Too many ingredients overpower the pizza

  • Go light on sauce – Prevents soggy crust

  • Hand-crushing gives the best rustic texture
