What is the difference between margherita pizza sauce and regular pizza sauce?

Margherita Pizza Sauce is a lighter flavored sauce where the brilliant tomato flavor shines through. This type of pizza sauce is not overpowered by a ton of garlic or spices.

Regular Pizza Sauce is often thicker with a more rich and robust flavor profile to stand up to such hearty pizza toppings like pepperoni.

How does this product differ from DeLallo’s other pizza sauces?

The biggest difference between our Margherita Pizza Sauce and our other tasty pizza sauces is the type of tomatoes used and the resulting flavor profiles. Our Margherita Pizza Sauce is made in Italy with Italian plum tomatoes, where our Pizzeria-Style Pizza Sauce is a domestic tomato sauce featuring vine-ripened Californian Roma tomatoes. The latter sauce has a richer flavor and a thicker consistency. Our Cherry Tomato Pizza Sauce is made with red-ripe cherry tomatoes for a brighter, sweeter flavor. Both our Cherry Tomato Pizza Sauce and our Margherita Pizza Sauce boast a brilliant tomato flavor perfect for the fresh-tasting Margherita Pizza.
