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

I stock up on produce with Misfits Market – they have a fantastic selection of in-season fruits & veggies, low so pantry items, and great food finds for a fraction of grocery store prices! You can get $10 off your first $30 box by clicking here!
- 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.
- Olive Oil: I like to use this fruity Zoe olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s really inexpensive online here, so I keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry. For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value, I would highly recommend!
- Garlic
- 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 (optional! but I use this Agave Syrup: I really like using this raw organic agave syrup because it’s a natural and sustainable sweetener, plus it is ridiculously inexpensive online so I always keep a few of these bottles in my pantry)
- Garlic Powder: Also a major pantry staple ingredient that gets used in our house daily! I love this garlic powder and add it to a lot of recipes that I would use fresh garlic in too.

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.
