I always wanted to make pizza from scratch, and what better day than today. Made the pizza sauce which is robust and delicious and I have made it so many times. Used Sumod Toms 50:50 pizza base recipe. Topped with some lemon herb spicy chicken, pork salami, mushrooms, olives and bell peppers and loads of cheese.

The taste of Home made crust is so delicious, beats a store bought one anyday. This recipe is a keeper. Would love to try so many variations in the future.
