Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to cook pizza sauce before putting it on pizza?
A: Sysco Classic Pizza Sauce is ready to use straight from the can—no cooking required. In fact, many professional pizzaiolos prefer using raw (uncooked) sauce because the tomatoes are already cooked during the canning process, and cooking again on the pizza crust gives the best flavor development.
Q: What's the difference between pizza sauce and regular tomato sauce?
A: Pizza sauce is specifically formulated with a thicker consistency that won't make your crust soggy. It has a more concentrated tomato flavor and balanced acidity that holds up well under cheese and high baking temperatures. Regular pasta sauce is too thin and watery for pizza applications.
Q: How much sauce should I put on a pizza?
A: For a 12-14 inch pizza, use approximately 3-4 tablespoons (about 1/4 to 1/3 cup) of sauce. Spread evenly, leaving a small border around the edge for the crust. Too much sauce is the #1 mistake home pizzamakers make—it makes the crust soggy!
Q: Can I use this sauce for pasta instead of pizza?
A: Absolutely! While optimized for pizza, Sysco Classic Pizza Sauce also works wonderfully for calzones, stromboli, baked ziti, lasagna, and any dish that calls for a flavorful tomato sauce base.
Q: Why does my pizza sauce taste metallic sometimes?
A: Metallic taste can come from the acid in tomatoes reacting with certain metals. Always use a non-reactive spoon (stainless steel, plastic, or wood) when handling tomato sauces. Sysco Classic Pizza Sauce is formulated to minimize this issue, but if you notice a metallic taste, try adding a pinch of sugar to balance the acidity.
Q: How long does pizza sauce last after opening the can?
A: Once opened, transfer unused sauce to a clean, non-metallic container, cover tightly, and refrigerate. Use within 5-7 days for best quality. For best results, portion out what you need before opening the can.
Q: Is Sysco Classic Pizza Sauce gluten-free?
A: Yes! Sysco Classic Pizza Sauce is naturally gluten-free and certified kosher. It's also vegetarian-friendly and contains no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.
Q: Where can I buy bulk pizza sauce in Canada?
A: Chicken Pieces offers Sysco Classic Pizza Sauce in bulk cases with free shipping on orders over $199 Canada-wide. We ship from our Calgary warehouse to all provinces.
