Newbee Trying My First Pizza

Que Man

I am trying my first pizza this afternoon and would like to know if anyone can recommend a good store bought pizza sauce. If anyone has a quick homemade sauce that would be appreciated as well. I have cooked on my new LBGE that I received for Christmas for the last four days with great success and would like try a pizza this afternoon.[p]I think I can get used to cooking on this thing every day. My wife naturally says to go for it.[p]Deacon of Que

Deacon of Que,
We like newman's own by paul newman. The sockarooni is very good and i have tried some of his others with good success. I'am sure you will get more follow ups with many very good suggestions. Enjoy the pie. I sometimes use rice I L O dough. miles out

If you have a Trader Joe store in your area their brand pizza sauce is very good.

We love "Dei Fratelli" Presto Pizza Sauce. Comes in 12 Oz cans. Great taste! Can be hard to find though. It's well worth the hunt.
