Thin Crust Veggie Pizza with Homemade Pizza SauceIt’s that time of year again – Viva Italia at Publix.  The time to stock up and start making some wonderful Italian inspired dishes.  I picked up a few cans of Hunt’s tomato sauce and tomato paste, a Pillsbury thin crust pizza crust, and some fresh veggies and made a delicious pizza at home.

I usually make homemade pizza crust, but for those times when I don’t really have the time to pull out my mixer, I pick up some Pillsbury pizza dough from the refrigerated section at the store.

IngredientsHave you heard the expression – the sauce is boss?  This one is and it is so quick and easy to make.  You simply take a can of tomato paste and a can of tomato sauce that has basil, garlic, and oregano in it and combine them together.  The seasoning is in the sauce.  And if you like things a little on the sweet side like I do, add a touch of honey.  (No more than a teaspoon.)

Sauce and CrustSpoon a generous layer of sauce over a prebaked (5 minutes) Pillsbury thin crust, add toppings, and then bake again and you, too, will be enjoying a delicious pizza at home.

  36. I would love to try the Grilled Chicken Foil Packets with Summer Squash
    Thank You for the chance

  53. They all look so good, but if I had to choose one, it would be the Weeknight Mini Meatloaves! I think this is something my kids would love to eat too!

  98. That looks so delicous. Pizza is one of my favorites.I would totally use Hunt’s tomato sauce with oregano,basil and garlic and make a Baked Eggplant Parmesan. I would use Pillsbury bread sticks and top it all with some Kraft’s parmesan cheese!

  113. It’s been a while since I used the refrigerated Pillsbury pizza dough. I really like how it tastes and the crust always turns out nice and crispy. I have never had veggie pizza, I will have to try it sometime.

  120. i love the Hunt’s Tomatoes with the herbs added in. I had been using only the Basil and garlic one, but my husband picked up the one with Rosemary and Oregano, and I have to say, it is even better than the basil one.

  133. I need to make home made pizza more often! My kids are always asking for it but I’m just too lazy to take the time. ALthough the pizza crust would definitely make it easier!

  141. I seriously miss Publix. We moved up north out of Florida and there isn’t a store here that quite compares. (and it’s a good thing I just ate lunch…or I’d be in my kitchen making the pizza right now. Looks awesome!)
