Leonardo's Original Pizza Sauce Recommended by Whom You Know!

The true test of an “Original” pizza sauce is traditional pepperoni and mushroom. Pairing it with these traditional toppings makes the sauce the star of any pizza, but Leonardo’s Original Pizza Sauce would shine through no matter what! This is a great traditional pizza sauce, with a fresh and flavorful taste. All Leonardo’s sauces are delicious, but the traditional or original version sets the standard. Give it a try for your next pizza night. No matter what toppings you choose, this delicious sauce will help you create the perfect pizza!
The many variations of pizza should be a subcategory on Wikipedia by now. Americans love anything pizza, and now, Leonardo has made it all so easy for us . Their Original Pizza Sauce packs a wallop of flavor and spices, and as a base for any recipe you may invent, it’s primary. Perfect for a margarita pizza, with just mozzarella and basil on flatbread as a “roll-up”, Leonardo’s Original Pizza Sauce adds a whole new level of nuance. Take it beyond pizza and experiment, and you’ll find so many possibilities that graduate the “tomato sauce” idea in your recipes.
The Original sauce has a really fresh tomato flavor. It is perfect for creating a mouth-watering Margherita pizza. There are not a lot of seasonings to overpower the flavor of the tomatoes. You can really enjoy the garden fresh flavor of the tomatoes. Great as a pizza sauce base or just heated to dip breadsticks in and savor. 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.
