Tips & tricks
Cool the sauce before spreading it on the dough. Warm sauce can soften the pizza base and make it harder to handle.

Spicy pizza sauce gets more character when chili and garlic cook briefly before the tomatoes are added. Cayenne gives direct heat, while sugar balances tomato acidity. When the sauce reduces, it becomes thicker and easier to spread on the pizza base without making it wet.
