Leonardo's Garlic Pizza Sauce Highly Recommended by Whom You Know
What’s a great way to give a pop of flavor to a vegetarian pizza? GARLIC pizza sauce, of course! Leonardo’s has created a delicious garlic pizza sauce with tons of flavor and just the right amount of garlic zing to it. I used it to make a vegetarian pizza with zucchini, mushrooms and fresh tomatoes, and it was absolutely amazing.
It’s pizza night, but you’ve never actually made your own? Now is the time to find out how, and have lots of fun in the kitchen with Leonardo’s Pizza Sauce. First, go to your local pizzeria, and buy some pizza dough. They have it already made up, and will be happy to sell you some. Then take it home and experiment. Go Hawaiian, do veggie, add anything at all after you’ve smoothed on some Garlic Pizza Sauce, and you’ll love the results. We went Greek, with feta and olive tapenade. Delicioso!
By far my favorite, as the flavor of garlic is really fresh tasting. It has just the right mixture of garlic and fresh herbs to compliment breadsticks as well as a pizza, yet not overpowering. The texture of the sauce is perfect as it holds up nicely and is not watery like some other sauces. This sauce would be an excellent addition to a lasagna with its fresh garlic taste and nice consistency. I enjoyed this sauce on a homemade pizza and with homemade bread sticks!

Our sauce made us famous. Leonardo’s Pizza’s award winning pies have been delighting customers in Vermont and Maine for over twenty years. Inspired to add flavor to the pizza sauce aisle and to meet the growing trend of making pizza at home, we began bottling our Leonardo’s sauce three years ago. For the first couple of years, we focused on distribution solely in Vermont to assess the viability of our concept. Having determined the concept was viable, we officially launched our line at the 2014 NYC Fancy Food Show, where we received an overwhelmingly positive response. We are thrilled to introduce our four culinary creations – Original, Roasted Garlic, Asiago and Chipotle pizza sauce. Our Original sauce is pizza sauce perfection – fresh and irresistible. Rich and tasty, our Roasted Garlic sauce is a garlic lover’s dream. Our Asiago sauce has an effortless essence – cheese, cheese and more cheese. Our Chipotle sauce is where robust flavor meets smoky heat, a mouth-wateringly complex combination. Because these flavors are cooked into the pizza sauce, it provides balanced flavor in every bite and the overall foundation to the pie. Our sauces are made with very high standards of quality and integrity, and are GMO free. Shhh….you don’t have to tell anyone it’s not homemade. Have a jar of Leonardo’s tucked away for pizza night – it could make you famous, too.
