Print: Mel's Brown Pizza Sauce

I live about one hour from my favorite pizza joint, so I decided to make a version of Mel's brown pizza sauce recipe for the days I can't have the real thing (because, let's face it, nothing beats the real thing). After many attempts (10 full batches, to be exact) at adjusting my recipe, my taste buds came up with this. I hope you will try it and enjoy it as much as my family and I do. For the ultimate pizza experience, use Brothers pepperoni and Mozzarellissima pizza cheese.
