As for how much sauce to use per pizza, I usually go fairly light, using only about 1/4 cup per 10-inch pizza, so the pizza dough can get crisp as it cooks. This recipe yields about 3 cups of sauce, which is enough for about a dozen pizzas. If you like a saucier pie, feel free to add more.

For tomato-based sauces, a good rule of thumb to follow is to use one jar of 24-ounce pasta sauce for every 16-ounce package of pasta.

Marinara. The stuff of pizza dreams. Our freshly prepared, signature Italian sauce goes great on just about everything.

Ragu Homemade Style Pizza Sauce is excellent! It's got the natural flavorings I like without the chunks and without added sugar. It's the best tasting pizza sauce I have ever had.

Oregano - dried oregano is a classic pizza seasoning that adds a slightly bitter, earthy flavor. Onion - sautéed onions can add a sweet and savory flavor to the sauce.

A good rule of thumb is to make sure that the dough is still visible. If it's entirely blocked out by red sauce, you've probably added too much. To nail the right amount, avoid plopping multiple scoops of sauce all over your crust.
