A quick and easy blender pizza sauce that requires no cooking. Just toss everything in your blender and process. Takes 5 minutes!
Yup, pizza sauce in the blender! Crazy right?
Not really? I mean think about it. When you make pizza, the pizza sauce cooks while the pizza is baking so there’s really no need to pre-cook the sauce. I was a little skeptical at first but after tasting pizza with this no cook sauce I don’t think I’ll be pre-cooking my sauce ever again. I was amazed as how good it tasted and how easy it was to make.
I used my Vitamix, but I’m sure any blender will work. I bet an immersion blender would even do the trick.
This recipe can be used for any recipe your little heart desires. If it calls for a tomato based pizza sauce, you’re golden!
A couple ideas: use it as sauce for cauliflower crust pizza, socca pizza, tortilla pizza, cauliflower calzones or as a dip for these vegan breadsticks.
I’ll be sharing a recipe next week that uses this sauce as well. So grab your blender and make a batch.

Out of curiousity, do you think a Vitamix is worth the investment? I have been debating buying one for a while. I see you use yours pretty frequently.
Thanks for sharing the recipe. Looks yummy!
any suggestions for a non tomato sauce for pizza
How quick and easy!
I can’t remember the last time I cooked pizza sauce.
Try San Marzanos with just a little oregano, fennel (in the mortar & pestle) and a pinch of salt.
Throw about a third of a cup of tomatoes in a bowl for each pizza and mush them with your hand or a wooden spoon until they’re broken up. Takes two minutes and you don’t have to clean a blender afterwards.
I love how this pizza sauce cuts out the extra step of precooking (and that you can easily make pizza sauce in a blender!). We love pizza nights around here and can’t wait to try this recipe!
This looks great, Brittany! I’m always looking for good pizza sauces at the store and so many of them have sugar. I’m going to add this to my list of things to try out!
I make my own pizza sauce all the time! Just with a can of tomato, sprinkles with some salt, pepper, and oregano. It’s so easy and delicious! And way healthier than the pre-packaged stuff. I don’t know why everyone doesn’t make their own!

I usually make my own pizza sauce but it takes a LOT longer. This is so easy, and so tasty that I don’t think I’ll ever bother with the stovetop again. I was out of garlic and used powdered garlic as an extra cheat step. Heavenly. Any idea how long it will last in the fridge?
