A pizza restaurant sauce is often just tomatoes, salt, maybe oil. If the can is dull, the pie is dull. Cento’s certified San Marzano line is the supermarket can people actually argue about — sweet, low on water, crushed by hand.
Do not cook it to death. Salt. Spread thin. That is a New York and Neapolitan sauce.
