"My grandma did it, so I do it." This philosophy basically ends all arguments in the kitchen.

"You have an inmune system, use it" HA !

"You have an immune system, use it." Best quote ever

[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.

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.

Hey John, I just wanted to thank you for all your recipes over the years. I still use this pizza sauce when I make pizza. It’s a fantastic recipe and I recommend it whenever I can.

The part you said “don’t freak out, you got immune system, use it!” 🤣 Omg I laughed out loud for a few minutes! 😆 You’re a funny talented chef, chef John!

"You have an immune system, use it!" - One of the best cooking tips I ever heard! :D

[McMaster]

Neutral, like a Swiss pizzeria XD GENIUS

Tonight was my first time making pizza so I tried out your sauce because it was the simplest and had good reviews. It was delish. I did not use the tomatoes you recommended because we don't have it here in Kenya also I didn't find anchovies nearby but I followed all the other steps....👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 Thank you chef!

"so does it work? who knows, who cares" LOL your onliners are epic!

[sophiapearl]

I love anchovies so much. I never thought I would but living in Spain having them easily accessible fresh is seriously amazing.

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!

[Seishae]

Chef John, every time I need a recipe for something you've already made a video about it. You're the best.

[potsia]

"don't get me wrong I love New Jersey, I think they should actually make it like a real state"💀😂

[ruthwaweru]

I am here to thank you for that Grandma's secret. I use it in the pizza sauce and in other dishes and it has changed my life in the kitchen for the better 😊
It for sure neutralizes the acidity in foods

Just made this for the first time to use as a dipping sauce with my homemade pepperoni bread... It was incredible and turned out to be a huge hit with the family! Definitely making again soon!
