Do You Prefer Your Pizza With Or Without Sauce

I dont understand why they would make pizza without the sauce, the other day I want to walmart to shop for grocery's I wanted to get some french bread pizzas because I love french bread pizzas, well anyway, I found some that looked really good on the package and when I got home I baked it and I was so exited to eat it in front of my TV, so I sat down in front of my TV and popped in one of my favorite DVDS and finally the moment of truth I took a big bite out of my pizza, and something tasted off, and I looked down at my pizza and I folded the cheese back away from the crust and I saw that there was no pizza sauce, I was like WHAT NO SAUCE! who the hack would make pizza without pizza sauce, to me the sauce helps make the pizza well needless to say I was disappointed but I hated it anyway because I dont like wasting food.rolleyeshappy Tell me do you prefer your pizza with or without pizza sauce?

I have seen pizza's without the sauce, and I've ate one before to I believe. They aren't that bad but I agree sauce is better on the pizza. It gives it that flavor, anyone can get pizza crust and cheese, and whatever choice of toppings and bake it. [SomeCowgirl]
I dont care for dry pizza I like my pizzas with sauce for sure LOLlol thanks for responding.happy [apples99]


I've never had a pizza without the sauce. [Bd200789]
Oh really well if your like me you may not like it because its so dry and I think pizza sauce brings out the flavor of the cheese.happy [apples99]



Hi, I prefer sauce on my pizza, I couldn't imagine it with out any at all. Some days I make pizza with frozen bread dough and add spaghetti sauce and cheese for a cheese pizza. Now I am wanting pizza for dinner, I have seen a couple of pizza comercials already since I started writing. [ds6413]
Yea me too I prefer my pizzas with sauce and double cheese to me pizza taste to dry without the sauce lol.happy [apples99]


I have never ate one but I have made some on rare occasions when I worked at a pizza shop in high school. It's due to allergies to tomatoes and citric acid. Also lactose and some oils. It would be a terrible allergy to have since I eat alot of those things. I had a friend whose son had a mitochondrial disease and he couldn't eat anything. Literally, he had to have smoothies made with all of his daily nutrients and fat cause he couldn't eat the food they came in. He eats baked chicken and plain sweet potatoes everyday of his life. I have never seen the sauceless pizza sold in the store though, that is pretty cool unless you accidentally purchase one! [psspurgeon1]
Yes frinch bread is one of my favorites too, with double cheese and sauce.lol [apples99]



We always say "light sauce" when we order pizza. Too much sauce will ruin the whole taste. I like the cheese anyway [Druscilla34]
I like a medium layer of sauce with double cheese on crispy crust.happy [apples99]


Really? Oh my God! That's weird. How can you eat a pizza without sauce? I can't imagine a pizza without sauce. Sauce gives the main taste of a pizza and they didn't bother to do that? I cannot eat it. Of course, I prefer a pizza with full of sauce and toppings on it just like my favorite Yellow Cab's New York's Finest. lol [bianroxas]
I was surprised too when I took a bite of my pizza and discovered that there was no sauce I love sauce sauce helps make the pizza taste good.lolhappy [apples99]


I have a friend that whenever we used to go out for pizza she would fold back the toppings, take a napkin and wipe off the sauce. I used to make fun of her, but I guess there are other folks out there that like sauce-less pizza. I have found that I prefer a cheese based sauce rather than the tomato based sauce, but since it isn't really that common I don't eat a lot of pizza. [LuvBr0wn13s]
I prefer sauce on my pizza I was so disappointed that there was no sauce on the pizza when I took a bite, because to me pizza is best with medium tomato sauce and double cheese.happy [apples99]


i prefer the pizza with sauce sometimes but not hot sauce. [chevill]
Yea sauce makes the pizza taste better I prefer real tomato sauce not caned paste sauce and I dont like hot sauce on pizza.happy [apples99]


I like both pizza with sauce and without sauce. At Cici's pizza restaurant they make these alfredo pizzas that don't have sauce on them, just cheese and/or pepperoni. I don't think pizza is the same without sauce though, but they're both good. [vanonas]
I prefer sauce for sure, to me pizzas taste way to dry without sauce lol.happy [apples99]


A pizza isn't a pizza without sauce if you ask me. Cici's pizza is a restaurant around here that has a buffett of different pizza's, many which don't have sauce. I will eat a small slice of them but only because I'm hungry. The sauce is what makes it for me, but sometimes my husband actually prefers light sauce because he says it sometimes gives him a stomach ache - so maybe that's why they make them without sauce too. I gotta have sauce, otherwise it's pretty much just cheese bread! [vivasuzi]
I agree with you a pizzas always best with sauce.happy [apples99]


Dear friend, I like pizza with sauce and that too mostly with tomato sauce. But I do also eat it without sauce. I like have that spicy taste when sauce is added. I too do not like waste food provided it do harm my health or stomach.happy [SHAMRACK]
I see well thanks for responding.happy [apples99]


I like my pizza with sauce, if I wanted a pizza with no sauce I guess I would order breadsticks :) [lovemycutiepies]
I feel the same as you.lol [apples99]


definately sauce, in fact i like tabasco sauce on my pizza, so lots of sauce *yum* [doggsaredead]
Yea me too its sauce all the way for me yummy lol.happy [apples99]


I like pizza without sauce! yeah, I know! it's kinda strange! but even though I love tomatoes.. I hate tomato sauce and even ketchup! I like spaghetti without sauce too! lol! [Little_Stormy]
I usually dip my fries in bbq sauce mixed with mayo! it's yummy!! [Little_Stormy]


Pizza with sauce is only good to eat i like that only. [manoj1502]
I love pizza in fact if pizza was more healthy I would eat it every day with sauce of course lol thanks for responding.happy [apples99]


when i go alone to have pizza i enjoy it with sauce but when we friends go for hang outs i do not add sauce with my pizza i just put some black peeper powder and salt thats all and i love to enjoy pizza with coke rather than sauce because i want to have pizza with my hands if i add sauce there it will get wet and difficult to eat with hands [sonusd]
I see well for me pizza dosent taste complete without sauce but I do understand what you mean pizza can get a little messy with sauce.happy [apples99]


i always like my pizza with the sauce. last new years day we made pizza at home and it really taste good we stuff it with our favorite toppings. yummy. [kenchiprincess]
It really taste good and it is oozing with our favorite toppings and a lot of melted cheese on it... yummy.... i am drooling again... [kenchiprincess]


I am aware of the pizzas that have no sauce, however, I have never actually tried one before (I would imagine it would just feel like you're eating one of those cheese sticks like they make at Papa John's which are basically sauceless cheese pizzas cut into sticks instead of slices). I certainly am all for such a pizza as some kind of hors d'oeuvre that can be dunked in sauce, however, for a pizza, I am with pretty much everyone else here. I definitely like it better with sauce. It just tastes more like a pizza that way, if you know what I'm saying. My mother used to be the exact opposite - she used to ask for a pizza with no cheese. Once a waiter at a pizza parlor had apparently never heard such a request before, and said, "Ma'am, that's what a pizza is!" then proceeded to give her the definition of a pizza... pretty silly, I know. Anyway, for me, in order to qualify as a pizza, it must have the crust (I see some people just eat the contents off the top and leave the crust... must be a low carb thing; I sure could never do that), the sauce, and the cheese. If it has those essentials, I don't even need any toppings. [skydancer]
I'm with you, pizza taste more like pizza with sauce I mean if I wanted cheese sticks I would have gotten cheese sticks instead of pizza.happy [apples99]


I have to have pizza with sauce. In my opinion, pizza, just isn't pizza if there isn't any sauce on it. You just have to have it! I tried a sauceless pizza a few years ago and really, it wasn't that great. I just told people I enjoyed it so they wouldn't complain about me not liking what they hold so dear. It drives me crazy. You just can't order pizza without sauce. It just isn't pizza! It's just a baked sandwich with only one slice of bread! [highflyingxangel]
Yea sauce always makes the pizza taste better and more complete. thanks for responding.happy [apples99]


I Prefer pizzas with sauce only..the other day i bought a pizza which i told to deliver it to my house and the i didnt have any sauce bottle stocked in my house and i expected that the pizza guy would give the sauce as he does usually but he didnt give and gave me a reason saying that they cancelled the deal with their usual sauce supplier and they were yet to finalize a new deal..i was very frustrated and then went to a store nearby and bought a sauce bottle and do you know which shop did it...it was the good old Dominos Pizza..Happy mylotting [balacancer22]
I see well thanks for responding its pizza with sauce for me for sure.happy [apples99]


Hi to all.......... I would always prefer pizza with sauce............. I do not know how people like pizzas without sauce........... I ate pizzas twice without sauce.............. And I did not like it all........... HAVE A NICE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAPPY MYLOTTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [gvaisakh]
Yea I feel the same as you when it comes to pizza, I think sauce brings out the flavor of the pizza and it keeps the pizza from getting to dry. thanks for responding and happy posting to you too.happy [apples99]


Now, I have had some pretty interesting pizza in my time, but never without sauce. I do not think that I would enjoy pizza without sauce. Although, I have had a few pizzas that probably would have been better off with no sauce at all, instead of the sauce that they used. That is quite odd. [Rozie37]
I see what you mean because if they dont put the right kind of sauce on the pizza it could ruin the whole thing, I prefer real tomato sauce with all the traditanl pizza flavoring in it, and I like to top the pizza off with two kinds of cheeses and double it, on my pizza, to me pizza without the sauce taste to boring and dry for me, I love sauce for sure but the right kind of sauce. thanks for responding and happy posting.happy [apples99]


A great twist on this is my favorite which is pizza with white sauce. Though it may be a bit more fatty than the original red sauce, it tastes great with roasted chicken (caesar) or almost any other topping. I just use alfredo sauce or even pesto sauce when I get lazy. [AKMEDIA2]
Oh now that seems like it might taste great I dont think Iv ever tryed pizza with white sauce yummy I do put chicken on my pizza sometimes and I love green peppers and onions too, and I definitely prefer sauce.happy [apples99]


I have been eating pizza almost my entire life and i cannot bear to eat that food with out the sauce. guess you just order in and forgot to check it first before you could make changes with the pizza deliverer. make sure you said it in precise that sauce should be added. staff sometimes will make it in a hurry that they might forgot to add something. [Greeneagle24]
Yea I dont like pizza without sauce, to me sauce helps to make the pizza taste better, I bought that pizza at the grocery store in side walmart, and I didnt know that it didnt have sauce until after I got it home and took a bite, I just naturally assumed that all pizzas were made with sauce but I guess I was wrong, lol.happy [apples99]


I never eat pizza with sauce LOL but I don't eat much pizza anyway I'm sure it will taste good depends on the sauce and type of pizza I guess maybe next time I will try it with sauce I love onion rings with tomato sauce and some bread (forgot what it's called) too [LittleMel]
I love pizza but I dont like it without sauce I bought that pizza at the grocery store and I had no idea that it had no sauce until I brought home and took a bite and discovered that it didnt have any sauce on it, I was like WHAT! NO SAUCE LOL.lolhappy [apples99]


I agree with you. 'Coz I myself can't eat a pizza without a sauce. to be specific,i like HOT SAUCE! Lots of hot sauce! ;) [royce22]
I see well thanks for responding.happy [apples99]


I cant eat pizza without sauce. That's what filipinos are known for. [ben2005023]
I difintely prefer my pizzas with sauce too, to me pizza just taste better with sauce.happy [apples99]


I prefer with sauce of course.. I dont know how it taste without one.. It's like a hamburger without a burger or a hotdog sandwich without a hotdog.. Sounds funny but the logic there is, it aint complete without it's main ingredient or spice.. [paoxav]
Well it tasted really dry and boring without the sauce I was disappointed when I took my first bite because I was expecting a pizza with sauce not cheese sticks lol.rolleyeshappy [apples99]


Well that would be the first time I have ever had sauceless pizza. It doesn't even sound like a pizza without the sauce. Now if they told me it was french bread with stuff on I would like I guess I would give it a try because I wouldn't be thinking pizza. So I won't poo poo on the idea but no sauce, I don't know. [WebMann]
No when I brought the pizza in the store, and the box said french bread snack PIZZA so I assumed that it was like any other pizza with sauce, but I discovered after bringing it home and eating it that it was more like french bread with cheese on top, I mean they shouldn't have called it pizza if its not really pizza LOL.happy Anyway thanks for responding. [apples99]


Hi apples. I like sauce on my pizzas. I actually make my pizzas homemade and sometimes I make it with white sauce too. It is especially good like that if you like a gourmet type pizza with chicken on it. I gotta have sauce on my pizzas. [JenInTN]
Yummy homemade pizza, my cousin used to make pizzas homemade too, he is a really good cook, anyway Iv never had pizza with white sauce that sounds good I think I might try that one day. thanks for responding and happy posting.happy [apples99]


well i kinda love both !!!! when my mum prepare pizza she always make it without sauce and its very good but when i buy 1, i buy it with the sauce!! [eviltormentor]

Hey, Pizza tastes the best with sauce. I like heaps of types of Pizza but having Pizza with NO sauce is terrible!! It is like trying to drive a car without any wheels, it is impossible! Not to mention that it doesn't taste that good. I have had my mother make me some pizza when she was out of tomato sauce. The pizza tasted relatively good but nothing comparing with the genuine pizza that has nice tomato sauce in it! But I prefer Pizza to have tomato sauce in it! It tastes much better and goes well down the throat! [EliteUser]

Yeah, sauce makes pizza better!I'm sorry you had a pizza without sauce.blink [sweetyethot]

what is pizza? i heard about it it is not available in our region please tell me dear... [yoursonlyurs]

Well I always love every kind of pizza and if you ask me,I will really prefer pizza with sauce i mean that is where the great taste is..I tried eating pizza without sauce and i am not really enjoying it so i really love pizza with sauce.God bless and have a nice day..:-0 [insulin]

A pizza without the pizza sauce is really AWFUL. That shouldn't be called as pizza at all. What? may be it is just a bread with some toppings on it, or a bread trying hard, playing make believe that he was made as a pizza. happy Anyway, I prefer my pizza with its sauce, it adds satisfaction, some may even put catsup on eat, I know some who even eats it with mayo. It is kinda dry to eat pizza without sauce. Of course the taste will really depend on the seasoning the sauce has. I love pizza, I do hope not to get one like the pizza you got. I also wait wasting food. Thanks for your discussion. happy [my_january]

i just love pizza so much that i will still appreciate it even if it came without the tomato sauce lol But of course I prefer the traditional pizza with the rich tomato sauce! I tried a four cheese pizza in a small cafe before and it was just so good that i didn't even notice that it didn't have sauce on it w00t [katemeow]

i like pizza with sauce cause more yummy. but in my country the pizza us different from italy pizza. [noniefam]

I've never seen a pizza made without sauce and until now I didn't know that they even made pizza's like that. I probably wouldn't want to eat a pizza without any sauce on it, it would probably taste pretty bland and dry compared to one with sauce. So I would say that I prefer pizza with sauce even though I haven't tried a pizza without sauce. [jambi462]

Hello apples99 How bizarre, did it not say on the packaging that it had no sauce? I can't imagine eating pizza with no sauce, it wouldn't be a pizza to me without the sauce! [Humbug25]

Personally, I prefer pizza with pizza sauce, in that it makes the pizza more flavorful. I also like it with lots of mozzerella cheese, ham and pineapple. [Keola12]

Hi There. I was just browsing the today's discussion then I saw this, I find this pretty interesting to answer because we just had our pizza an hour ago. I decided to order pizza for my siblings since they are in the middle of finishing their projects or doing their thing before going back to school. Anyways, I love putting sauces or spices on my pizzas. All of us love to do that except my mother who just eats the pizza without putting any hot sauce or ketchup. She doesn't mind at all. I prefer Yellow cab pizza house because of their condiments there. I even put a little salt in my pizza then hot sauce and some pepper before eating it. I don't feel like eating pizza without putting any sauce on it. Have a great day! Oh, happy Mylotting and thanks for the discussion! Cheers [jesbellaine]

I like pizza several different ways depending on my mood. What you had was a white pizza, it's usually made with garlic, olive oil and cheese. A margurita pizza is a white pizza with the addition of sun-dried (or fresh) tomatoes and fresh basil. I like both of those. I also like traditional pizza with tomato sauce, and occasionally a pesto pizza (with pesto instead of sauce). Hmmmmm...after thinking about it, it's starting to look like a pizza day...lol. [catdla1]

I love pizza with the sauce but also think that it is pretty cool that they do it without sauce because really I should not have the sauce because it gives me bad gut!!! I definately prefer it with sauce though it just makes the whole thing really, puts the Pizza in pizza lol x [gemini_rose]

i prefer my pizza with the sauce, a pizza without sauce would not be classed as a pizza in my eyes. [rookierooke]

Hello, apples...happy I love pizza with sauce, of course and i want hot hot hot hot sauce hehehe... it makes me want some more.. i like pizza hut and the one from sir pizza... uhm... yummy!drool the toppings are all over [hornetlover]

I have never had pizza without the sauce so I am not sure if it is good or not, but I do like pizza with the sauce though. Yum! [nangel78]

of course with a sauce... i can't imagine having a pizza without a sauce as well... even though if i have to eat one, i will eat it as well because i also hate to waste food... it is a sin for me to waste food as there are still many people out there who are starving... take care and have a nice day... [lingli_78]

That needs sauce. A good pizza just has to have sauce. My problem is I don't care for alot and usually end up scraping some off. A pizza has a certain taste and part of that is the sauce. [celticeagle]

I definitly like the sauce and I agree with you it helps make the pizza! I'm sorry you were disappointed, maybe next time just keep a jar of sauce in the cabinet for those occasions where there isn't sauce on your pizza :) [ronnilynn]
That's a good idea to keep some extra sauce around I think I will try that next time thanks for responding.happy [apples99]


Wow, wouldn't that be awfully dry? I think one of the main/great things about eating pizza is the sauce. I don't think I could eat it without. Of course I know people who eat pizza without cheese as well, and I can't imagine that either. Sauceless, would be the same as tasteless for me I think. [quinnkl]

You can't have Pizza without the sauce!That's like saying you would eat it without crust! I like Pizza with the sauce =) [Stunner365]

I prefer to eat my pizza with sauce.It adds taste to the pizza.When i order pizzas they put garlic sauce on it.I love to eat the sweet tomato sauce with my pizza.If there is no sauce pizzas will not taste good.sadsad [vicky30]

I don't know who would actually make pizza with no sauce. Myself personally like pizza with sauce I don't believe I've ever tasted it without. What about pizza with not enough sauce. I never paid attention to the fact that some places made pizza without enough sauce until one day I asked my husband if he wanted to order some pizza from Mr.Jims pizza and he was like he didn't like their pizza because they didn't put enough sauce it. We wound up ordering from there however telling them to put extra sauce. So I can understand how when your are expecting to eat one of your fave foods and one of the key ingredients are missing. Bummer. [sahmof2]

Of course i prefer my pizza with sauce. What would be the taste of pizza without the sauce i wonder :) [markroderick]
