    PLEASE NOTE in this video he is using the 6 lb can (2.89 kg) of tomato, and NOT the normal supermarket 28 ounce can.... so those looking for a recipe at home using supermarket canned tomato from this video must make the necessary adjustments and use only 1/3 or less of salt ..... otherwise this is an excellent sauce for all pizza

      A third of the 28 oz can of tomatoes? That would be like 9.33 oz of salt! That is a whole lot of salt

      9 oz of salt? What? Where did I say that. And where did I say 1/3 of the can of tomatoes. Can you read? All I am saying is he is using restaurant #10 can or 6 lbs. if you have that can go ahead and follow his recipe. But if you are home with a supermarket 28 oz can, then use less. No one uses nine ounces of salt. Freakin no good deed goes unpunished. Go ahead and pour as much salt as you want. Jeez. But if you ever work in a kitchen you would know what I am talking about

      @@joer1757 I have not worked in a kitchen which is why I was viewing this video for help and a guide to make homemade sauce. Your comment helped me as far as more details and direction and to be cautious of the size cans he was using. I got the 9.33 oz of salt from taking your mention of the 1/3 of my store bought can which is 28 oz. So that is 9.33 oz. I was just thinking that is a lot of salt, and would like to be sure that interpretation was right. No intention at all to offend you.

    This is how we make our pizza sauce at home - tomatoes and a pinch of salt (28 oz can). The Ken Forkish book "The Elements of Pizza" is our new bible. Couple comments - he's pulsing low and slow to keep it from being too watery. I just touch the blender 2-3 times is all using Rega San Marzano whole peeled tomatoes already canned with basil leaves. And yes they have the "DOP" stamp for customs to show they're from Italia and specifically the Mt Vesuvius area. I make a sauce once a year in the fall from our garden. I have to use lots of paste and or leave the top off the pot to have it reduce down. My point is you can get awesome canned tomatoes nowadays - fresh from the garden are good but inconsistent and ten times more watery. I love the look in the video of the bright red, whole peeled tomatoes! Yum!

    I went in the US Navy in 1965, my first ship was home ported in Napoli and I was there for two years. The pizza was loved by the entire crew and they were only a dollar back then. Apparently Napoli has changed a lot since then. Our pizza and spaghetti was very simple but delicious. They didn't use tomato sauce. Pizza was olive oil, cooked tomato, mozzarella and that was it. The dough was so amazing and it's very hard to find it in America. It was a very chewy dough that had a flavor I can't even describe. The spaghetti was much the same but they put ground romano and parmesan.

      Thomas, canned tomatoes are cooked tomatoes. In a large portion of the world, ripe tomatoes are seasonal. Thus, without using canned tomatoes, the "sauce" would be seasonal, as well. Whether it's from fresh tomatoes or canned tomatoes, the thick tomato liquid put on pasta or pizza is a "sauce". Same principle as making gravy, a thick liquid often made with flour usually poured over another foodstuff. Or, perhaps a thinner liquid such as soy "sauce" or Worcestershire "sauce".

      Yeah me too. Also for basic italian speghetti, its just a 1/4 to 1/2 cup of smashed garlic lightly browned in olive oil, (more like yellowed), then canned tomatoes, whole, crushed by hand and put into the pan to bubble and boil for a minute or two, add sea salt to slight salt taste. Remember salt is hard to undo. It was from a cooking show and its delicious. To get it to stick to pasta, add a 1/4 cup of the used pasta water, pre salted, as you boil it to the thickness you want.

    This is great. It's EXACTLY how I've making my tomato sauce since I've been trying to make an outstanding pizza at home during the pandemic. Even the immersion blender! This video is at least 5 years old and as a new viewer to your RUclips videos I've learned a lot! But this video just confirms something I thought I came up with on my own. Hooray!
    For the comment that said the sauce was too thin: It depends on your can of tomatoes. I generally will pluck the tomatoes from the can and use the canned tomato juice, that the tomatoes were in the can with, after blending. If I don't need the juice to thin my sauce I make myself a Bloody Mary. No waste, all used for savory satisfaction! All vegetables and fruits are unique, and so are their canned counterparts.

    You can even use fresh Roma tomatoes... but there are some things you can do to boost their flavor and improve their texture. Quickly blanch the Roma tomatoes (whole) in rapidly-boiling water, only long enough to loosen the skin. Remove the skins, but set them aside in a small bowl. Slice the peeled tomatoes into quarters. Strain the seeds with a fine-mesh sieve over a bowl to collect the "tomato gel" and any excess tomato juice. At this point, you should only have the Roma tomato flesh. Crush the tomato flesh with your hands or pulse them gently in a blender or food processor..... the consistency should be somewhere between chunky and soupy. Set it aside in a LARGE BOWL with some basil leaves and crushed dry oregano (or fresh oregano, if it is available) and keep it chilled in the refrigerator for the moment. In a sauce pot/pan, add olive oil and the tomato skins..... stir them together first, then turn on the flame (to low~medium heat) to begin cooking them and to break down their tough texture. As the tomato skins begin to shrivel up, bring the flame down to low and add the reserved tomato "gel" and any reserved juices from the tomatoes and either bring them up to temperature or simply cook it until the mixture has been REDUCED (you're making a concentrated tomato reduction). While the mixture is HOT, add everything it to a blender or food processor.... blend it into a smooth puree, collect it into a bowl and let it cool slightly. Bring out the crushed tomato flesh from the fridge. COMBINE THE TWO! Stir them together. You'll end up with a sauce that has both ends of the spectrum: raw/fresh tomato flavor + concentrated/cooked tomato flavor. And the best part of it is that the result won't be as runny or watery. Enjoy!

    I love the passion this guys puts in his videos. He represents his country pretty well IMO. Man, I've met some Italian people trough years, and these guys are awesome. They don't mess with cooking, and they don't mess with food at all. Cooking seems to be more of an art there. It's part of the culture, deeply rooted in the ages and it's a living art. In no other country cooking comes close to be as cultural as it is in Italy. And it seems that cooking is important in all families. I mean I'm French, and I live in France. Food means something here for us for sure, like 1000 times more than in Germany for example. But our dear Italian neighbourghs, they're just the next level of cooking. And Napoli/Southern Italy seems to be the HQ of their Cooking Art

    Vito, thanks for sharing. I know (from video) that Da Michele in Napoli does the same thing by just blending the whole can of tomatoes. From Tony Gemignani I learnt to remove the juice in the can, the seeds and flower+stem from tomatoes. Without doing this, the sauce is very wet (too thin) and the seeds can make it bitter. This is how I've done it when making my own San Marzarno sauce. It is too much work so I usually make my sauce with other tomatoes which are already chopped to pieces or a base sauce. Question is if Tony and I are crazy going to such detail? :)

      Jacob Pedersen You're not crazy; I was removing the seeds and juice from the can. You're right, it's just to wet for pizza sauce. Still using San Marzano's, but chopped, with some seeds. Never a complaint from my family and friends.

      Too much pain is the story of my life :) I'm a perfectionist so I don't just go for good, I strive to make the best pizza, a goal that is of course never achieved. Both by technique and ingredients. I agree that a long rise will be harder to work with than a short rise (not too short but 6-8 hours). Final product is not that different, I use both. Actually short rise of 6-8 hours makes the nicest looking pizzas.
      I have tried different sour dough starters, but yet to find any that made a huge difference.
      San Marzano is not my favorite tomato. It's wet from the can and does not taste that good. Perhaps I've just not been lucky with those brands I've tested. I've tried to grow my own San Marzano but not had enough luck to have enough to make a sauce yet. Perhaps next summer.
      I post some of my experiments with food on Instagram @blezedk. I'd love to know more about your experiments.

    To get really good Neapolitan pizza sauce you should use Neapolitan canned tomatoes, Costco has them in a green large can called "Nino tomatoes" and they are imported from Italy and make great sauce! It costs about 3.30 for a large can. Check out my pizza oven build if you guys get the chance!!

    Ormai faccio la salsa di pomodoro così anch'io, a casa, vista l'impossibilità di trovare una salsa di pomodoro decente, qui in California.
    L'unico difetto che ho trovato per questo approccio è che tende ad andare a male un po' più in fretta della salsa "normale", ma basta mangiarla prima. ;)
    Grazie molte per il video e per l'idea! Per me, funziona benissimo. Mi hai salvato dal concentrato di pomodoro da ricostituire a pseudo-salsa di pomodoro del Trader Joe's (brrr...). Le salse di pomodoro al supermercato hanno una lista di ingredienti di una pagina (e non ne esiste una senza cipolla disidratata aggiunta, pare), e la "Pomì" per qualche oscuro motivo qui costa una fortuna. Trovo la Mutti al World's market, ma questa fatta coi pelati (si trovano anche buoni) è meglio, e costa meno. Il che non guasta...

    Chef, thanks so much for the Di Napoli tomato recommendation. I make sauce tonight with Di Napoli and it turned out very well, certainly fine restaurant quality. I usually grow my own tomatoes for sauce, but run out every year at this time. Di Napoli comes pretty close to home grown as the tomatoes are grown near Los Banos and canned there ( I grow tomatoes in in my backyard Santa Clara county .) I need to warn you about the amount of salt your putting in your pizza sauce. Each 102 oz can of Di Napoli has already 220 mg of Salt for every serving, 25.5 servings per large can for a total of 5610mg. It looks like you are adding about a quarter cup of salt per 102 oz can of Di Napoli tomatoes, that is approximately 67,800 mg. The total amount of salt is 73,410 mg per can, divide that by 25.5 servings and that is a whopping 2,879 mg of salt per 4 oz serving! You use at least of cup (8 oz) of sauce on each of your individual pizzas. The maximum amount of salt an individual should have per day is 2400mg before health problems start to appear.

I daresay none has actually cooked pizzas in a restaurant but are, rather, enthusiastic amateurs. Anyhow, Vito, thanks for sharing your method of making tomato sauce - a very simple and no-nonsense approach. The San Marzano debate brings to mind the arguments around the quality of "real" champagne versus that produced by "méthode champenoise".
    There's an interesting article here about a comparison made between canned tomatoes for anyone who might be interested:-

    When you use the entire contents of the can which includes the liquid doesn’t it make the sauce too thin and liquidy which makes the sauce cause the pizza soggy and week.
