Ooni Pizza Sauce Recipe (Simple Neapolitan Style)

This Ooni pizza sauce is a no-cook, fresh tomato sauce made specifically for high-temperature ovens like the Ooni. It’s light, vibrant, and allows the dough and toppings to shine—just like traditional Neapolitan-style pizzas. The key is quality ingredients and minimal processing.

Ingredients

• 1 can (14 oz / 400g) whole peeled San Marzano tomatoes
• ½ tsp fine sea salt
• ½ tsp sugar (optional, for acidity balance)
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1–2 leaves fresh basil (optional)
• ½ tsp dried oregano (optional)
• No garlic or onion – keeps it light and fast-cooking

Directions

1. Pour tomatoes into a bowl and crush by hand or pulse a few times in a blender. Don’t over-purée; leave it a little chunky.
2. Stir in salt, optional sugar, olive oil, and basil. Let the sauce rest at room temp for 15–20 minutes to meld flavors.
3. Spoon the sauce directly onto stretched pizza dough—about 2–3 tablespoons per 10" pizza. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 5 days or freeze.
