Product: DelGrosso New York Style Pizza Sauce – $1.20+
One of the most difficult foods to navigate when gluten-free is sauces and dips. Without a doubt. You’d be amazed what contains gluten. Reading the ingredient list is necessary. Grocery shopping takes a little bit longer. But safe dining is a huge plus.
While out at Big Lots, surprisingly, I spotted some pizza sauce that was clearly labeled gluten free. This gets huge props because it takes away the guess work. I wish labeling laws would become a bit stricter when it comes to gluten-free foods. I tend not to buy anything questionable, so if it’s labeled, you’re guaranteed a sale.
The pizza sauce I’m talking about is DelGrosso’s New York Style Pizza Sauce. At only 35 calories per 1/4 cup, you’re not going to fill up on sauce. In addition, the sauce literally has seven ingredients in it: tomato puree, tomatoes, sugar, imported olive oil, salt, garlic, and spices. I recognize every single one of those, therefore…it gets another point in its favor.
I sauced up Udi’s Gluten-Free Pizza Crusts with this amazing sauce. Just popping the lid and I could smell the amazing scent of the tomato sauce. This definitely boded well. A thin layer was applied to the crust, then topped with five different cheeses. A little more sauce was used to dot a bit at the top and into the oven it went.
Seven minutes later, I was slicing up a piece of pizza and sinking my teeth into one of the most delicious New York Style sauces I have tasted yet. Honestly. It has great flavor without being overpowering. It complimented the crust and the toppings. And, this is the perfect sauce for a vegetarian pizza. Given that I am also a vegetarian…this was yet another point in its favor. I found that this sauce was deliciously savory and sweet topping, just like a New York style sauce should be. Perfection in a bottle.
This jar was packed with flavor and would be amazing on any style pizza you could come up with. Best yet, it’s not expensive in the slightest. Gluten-free, pizza topping that is a delicious slice of heaven.
Use it well. Use it often. Top it off with your favorite toppings. Use it as a dip. Load it up with cheese. But enjoy it. Down to the last spoonful.
