    Andrea’s Favorite Pizza Sauce - Andrea Meyers

    My husband and I both love to make pizza, but we like different pizza styles. I prefer hand-tossed or thin crusts, and my favorite kind of pizza is pizza margherita, although I do like some sauce occasionally or even a pizza bianca. My husband loves Chicago style pizza swimming in sauce, deep dish or stuffed. He makes a different kind of sauce, and I’ll post the recipe the next time we make a stuffed pizza.

    The recipes makes enough to cover one large pizza or two medium pizzas.

      I made this sauce but added a third tablespoon of wine. It is amazing. Tastes so authentic. I put it on a pizza with chicken, green onion & mozzarella cheese.

      Thanks for posting this up. I'm definitely bookmarking this site for future reference.
