Pizza Sauce Products in LA

[hungrygirl13]

Hi,

I am having a pizza making party this Saturday and I am debating making my own pizza sauce or buying a pizza sauce. Does anyone have any sauce products they would recommend? Or do some pizza restaurants sell their sauce?

Thanks,
Alia

We recently bought a pizza stone w/ a rack made especially for the BBQ at Williams Sonoma. We bought the dough at Trader Joe's and a great sauce at Surfas in Culver City. I highly recommend this BBQ pizza stone. Way better then the oven. It cooks a perfect pizza in 5 minutes and the sauce was great.

I recently bought some of this at Sorrento's in Culver City. I enjoyed it. Buy it a couple days in advance and try it. It's $2.99 at Sorrento's though.

Giorgio di Baldi sells their sauce. I've never eaten at the restaurant, but people seem to like the food.

Yeah their food is amazing! I'm sure their sauces would be good too. Thanks, maybe I'll try that.

Although looks like they are all for pastas.

I noticed that too, but I wasn't sure if pasta sauce can double for pizza sauce. I've obviously never made my own pizza!

Giorgio Baldi pasta sauce is a staple at my house, but they are rather thin to be used as pizza sauce.

Arabiata works well if you like a kick. Or Purgatory pizza downtown makes an "el diablo sauce" which is their regular sauce infused with chili paste.

as for sauces without a kick, I'm not too sure. Rao's is great but rather expensive.
