This was a family restaurant’s recipe, modified to fit something for the home by reducing quantity and ratio of oregano and parsley. You would likely have enough for about 3-4 pizzas. Also, the original did not use fresh tomatoes, it added a nice touch.

Looking to follow a copycat that does not really taste like its copycat. It’s a little on the sweet side, but it’s pretty good.

There are many to sauces to choose from. I really enjoy the “family restaurant’s.”
