pizza: I am talking about the sauce you buy commerically. They sell pizza sauce in sperate little jars. Can't i just use a jar of marinara on the pizza or vise versa ? is there a difference in consitancy?|||Marinara is already going to have seasonings and extra flavors/ingredients added. Generally, pizza sauce is a little thicker and marinara a little runnier--not a lot, but it's noticeable if used on pizza.|||pizza sauce can be marinara or any other type of tomato sauce. I personally only use purred tomatoes for my sauce, in order to keep that fresh tomato flavor. Marinara usually has a red wine and alot of hearbs in it. a nice basic tomato sauce, only has crushed tomatoes, a little, carrot,onion,thyme,garlic, salt,pepper and a little extra virgin olive oil. You can find this at any grocery store, but its best to make it at home. it's quick and easy.|||It's your pizza have it your way. You can even do a white sauce like an alfredo, bq sauce, nacho cheese sauce or I have even see people use believe it or not peanutbutter. It is fun to try new things. The sauces are slightly different but when you put them on a pizza they cook about the same. Have fun.|||Yes... DO use a good quality marinara sauce on your pizza. That pizza sauce in the cans is terrible, cheap, thin sauce, that basically isn't good for anything (it's all watered down, and has no flavoring).......|||marinara sauce is sooooo much better, so much better, it just tastes better.|||its cooked different
