[@birdyboy7971]

Reminds me of a story I once read. Found it on the internet: One day after school a young girl noticed that her mom was cutting off the ends of a pot roast before putting it in the oven to cook for dinner. She had seen her mom do this many times before but had never asked her why. So this time she asked and her mom replied, "I don't know why I cut the ends off, but it’s what my mom always did. Why don't you ask your Grandma?" So the young girl called her grandmother on the phone and said, "Grandma why do you cut the ends off the pot roast before cooking it?" Her grandmother replied, "I don't know. That's just the way my mom always cooked it. Why don't you ask her?" Undeterred, the girl called her great grandmother, who was living in a nursing home and asked her the same question. "Why did you cut the ends off the pot roast before cooking it? And her great grandmother replied, “I cut off the ends of the pot roast because that's what my mother did.” , "When her mom was first married the pan she had was small/ She cut the ends off because the roast was always bigger than the pan& the ends had to be cut off to make it fit.”

[@Dave_en]

Grandma's food used to taste heavenly. The cooking process used to go on for hours on low heat. Mom was not a better cook than her. In today's era food doesn't taste that good. We have lost the cooking skills. Everything is coming readymade and we are becoming lazy. The companies are benefitting the most and providing shitty ingredients at high price. I bet that the homemade pizza sauce is much better taste and damn cheaper than readymade sauce from stores. If you clean/sanitize your hands before cooking, there is no hyegine issue and the food tastes much better. In fact without hand going in, the end product tastes bland.

This is the best homemade pizza sauce, hands down! It’s been my go-to sauce for 3 years now. Chef John, you changed my life forever.

[@TheWhiteleather]

Made this yesterday. Two notes: 1) Use only 1/2 measure or less of the fresh oregano. Fresh oregano is so floral it makes the sauce taste of soap. You can use twice the dry oregano to make up for the lack of fresh. Frankly a little fresh basil coupled with dried oregano is a nicer combination. 2) If using actual San Marzano tomatoes from a can, omit the sugar. The sauce will be too cloying and sickly sweet. If using fresh tomatoes, a little bit of sugar will be fine, but for the most part cooking tomato sauce for 20-30 minutes will concentrate the natural sugars. No need to add more.

[@MMixer882]

This the type of comments I look for when watching recipe videos because everyone who says they made it acts like it’s flawless but once I make it it has a few flaws and catching those flaws prior to making it is good such as your comment which helps

Boom. I made it tonight and prior to reading this comment I omitted the sugar and fresh oregano entirely, doubled the dry oregano, and added fresh basil. Simmered it for about 40 minutes. Best pizza sauce I’ve ever made. Also made pizza dough with Caputo pizza flour for the first time and the difference compared to all purpose flour was way more noticeable than I thought. Next stop, pizza oven.

surprised I dont see anyone else commenting this I used to make pizza from scratch at an italian market. I was taught by a bunch of old italian and sicilian ladies. they were very adamant about oregano being a spice that is best used immediately before cooking. I suppose if you are making this sauce to use immediately it should be fine, but I like to make my pizza sauce for the next day or to use a few times over the next couple days. so my advice, if you dont want your pizza sauce to get bitter from the oregano sitting in it, add oregano just before you put the cheese on your pizza

[@ohger1]

Perfect. Almost.. Do NOT cook pizza sauce. Make it ahead and store it in the fridge for at least two days. The sauce cooks on the pizza. Precooking changes the flavor and almost eliminates the aromatics which affects taste. I LOVE the baking soda trick and will try that. I always take a single TUMS before I eat pizza or any red sauce to proactively prevent heartburn. Changing the pH upwards should not affect flavor so I'm going to try that. The anchovies are something that most people eliminate because they don't like anchovies, but a bit like in this video transforms the flavor. I'm lazy so I use a good quality Asian fish sauce instead (fermented anchovy and salt). Great video.

[@user-kt7mi3yy8j]

I've made this 3x and my only recommendation is that you want to use a wider pot so that more water can boil off reducing the sauce down until it is a chunky consistency. Otherwise for smaller (more narrower) pots you will have to simmer for at least 3-4 hours at a minimum. Furthermore, the looser the sauce the harder your pizza will be to slice/serve after letting it rest. Otherwise, awesome sauce. :)

[@TrippnTroll]

MARJORAM! This is a key ingredient to every pizza sauce. Never tried baking soda but to cut the acidity I prefer a generous teaspoon of honey. Works really well. There are virtually endless ways to make it. I usually also fry some tomato puree, black pepper and keep the oregano quite subtile. A splash of balsamico mingles well with tomatoes.

[@alexdamico9258]

Honey is actually acidic. The sweetness may help cut the sour taste of the acid from the tomatoes, but it won’t actually make the sauce less acidic and I imagine it wouldn’t help with heartburn

[@j.ascension7]

I think reducing the sauce to remove water content will help keep the pizza from getting soggy. sorta why they only put sun dried tomatoes as a topping and not raw tomatoes.

People are looking up school lunch lady recipes...You should start a series on that! I'd love to learn how to make school style pizza from back in the day!

Looks really good. I don't cook my sauce, but I do use those tomatoes. I poach some garlic and fennel seed in the oil. Mill the tomatoes so they're broken down just enough, but so there's still little pieces, add salt, fresh pepper, and dried oregano, then I strain out the garlic and fennel from the oil and add those to my sauce. I reserve the oil to brush on the crusts before dressing the pizza dough and to drizzle on the pizza as soon as it comes out of the oven.

I left the anchovies out and this was still excellent.

This is hands down the best pizza sauce recipe. Made this together with the Wolfgang Puck pizza dough. Needless to say, Chef John recipes are gold, and will never fail!

That looks good I'm gonna try it. Grandmas are the best I miss mine

I've always made pizza sauce the way Italians do it, with just tomatoes and salt. But I will definitely give this recipe a go, with a little adjustment. I'm only going to pre-cook the tomatoes. Herbs, garlic, and anchovis are best fresh to slighty cooked.

[@mnljh711986]

I make my own sauce using the ripest red tomatoes, I peel them, chop them, and set aside, I usually use about six medium sized tomatoes. Then in a heated heavy bottomed stainless steel saucepan I add olive oil, to the oil I add finely diced onions one small white onion, I then add fresh and dried oregano and thyme, salt and black pepper, saute until onions are translucent. I then add the diced tomatoes to the pan and proceed to cook for about 5 minutes, I then add two cloves of garlic to the mixture and cook that out a little bit as well. I remove from heat and puree the mix using my hand mixer that I use to puree my soups, I make sure its very smooth. I then add some tomato paste, sugar, salt and pepper, more oregano, garlic powder, and about a tablespoon olive oil and I leave to cook for about an hour over low heat.

2:57 Seriously, what kind of maniac would skim off the oil from a cooked tomato sauce? Oils are as important as salt and pepper in bringing flavour.

[@adamo36532]

I made this sauce with garlic, dry oregano, olive oil, salt, sugar and a blended can of whole tomatoes. It was amazing.
