The Best Salt Free Pizza Sauce from Scratch
Low sodium pizza is possible with a few swaps! I make a homemade low sodium pizza crust which is super easy to bake – and always make this delicious from scratch. It’s made with no-salt-added tomato paste for a delicious an rich tomato flavor.
This sauce is really thick- it uses less water than other recipes. Its still deliciously spreadable on the pizza dough, but has a ton of flavor from the concentrated tomatoes
Ingredients
See the recipe card below for a full list of instructions and ingredient amounts!
- Tomato Paste: thickens the sauce with a deep bold tomato flavor. I only use a no salt added tomato paste, so you can control the amount of salt in the dish.
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Garlic – fresh garlic is best!
- Oregano: a spice I always put in my tomato sauces! This dried oregano has a bright and earthy flavor, and goes so well with any toppings you load on.
- Basil
- Dried Rosemary: Which I find has a more subtle flavor than the fresh rosemary. I crushed mine in a mortar and pestle, but you can use the larger dried leaves of rosemary if you’d like.
- Sweetener of Choice – you can use sugar, honey, maple syrup, or any sweetener (or sugar-free version) you prefer.
- Garlic Powder: Also a major pantry staple ingredient that gets used in our house daily!
How Do I Make This Pizza Sauce?
This is the best part: No cooking required!
1. In a medium bowl, mix all ingredients together well to combine. For best flavor, allow the pizza sauce to sit for at least 1 hour on the counter before using, to allow the flavors to meld together.
2. Spread on pizza crust, top with your favorite toppings, and enjoy! Or enjoy as a dip for warm breadsticks or garlic knots.

Kelly,
So I gather that if a recipe makes 8 servings, 1/8 would be the nutritional value u have listed? This would be for all recipes–correct?
I needed some low-sodium pizza sauce and this recipe looked easy to make. I had all the ingredients, so I made it. I did add about 1/2 tsp of Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb, for some different herbs. I did not have time to let it sit for 2 hours, mine only sat for 30 minutes. My pizza is baking right now. I’ll let you know how it tastes when it’s done.
Fun making our own pizza. This sauce is great
Pizza! We love it and making it more healthy all the better
Love the flavors
This sauce is fantastic
