Do you prefer Pizza with lots of tomato Sauce or very little?

If the sauce squishes out when I take a bite, there is too much sauce.

Likewise, if I can’t take a bite without an avalanche of toppings falling off, there are too many toppings. I should have very little. if anything, to clean up off my plate with a properly composed pie.

Agree. I WOULD have chosen “a lot” had it been an option.

Depends entirely on the sauce. If the sauce is good, I want a substantial amount. If it’s mediocre, then I want just enough. And if it’s like the sauce at a certain chain, then I prefer no sauce at all. (It’s been so long since I’ve had take out pizza, I can’t remember which chain it was.)

It’s the sauce that makes the pizza a pizza. Without it, it’s just dough with stuff thrown on it.

I voted “give me as much as possible.”

Very crispy, very thin crust, sauce somewhere in the middle between as much as possible and very little, cheese the same way. So I voted other.

This is what I do, sorta. Raw diced tomatoes, olive oil, some sort of minced green (basil, parsely, or spinach), course-ground sea salt, minced garlic, parmesan cheese. That’s my “sauce.”

I can’t answer. There’s a pizza place in my home town that serves the best pizza in the world, and it has little sauce. However, all other pizza places need to have an abundance of sauce in order to make the pizza palatable, otherwise it tastes like crappy Pizza Pizza.

ETA: I didn’t realize Pizza Pizza was Canadian, and mainly Ontarian till now.

I like it saucier than “normal” but I wouldn’t describe it as “as much as possible.”

More sauce makes it hold up better after a night in the fridge; otherwise the sauce dries up and it becomes some kind of really bad white pizza.

This.

I frequently eat at (very convenient) California Pizza Kitchen when I crave pizza. I used to order whatever pizza sounded good, and half the time I would end up feeling vaguely unsatisfied. Then I realized that half of their pizzas don’t have tomato sauce. When I crave pizza, it’s the tomato sauce I’m really craving. Now I tend to avoid CPK, and when I do go, I always make sure to order one of the pizzas that actually includes tomato sauce.

lurves me some sauce with a little crust and cheese thrown in. :smiley:

I find that I don’t really care too much. There are minimum/maximum thresholds somewhere, but I’d be hard-pressed to define them in terms that make sense. Anywhere in between and I’m unlikely to have much commentary one way or the other on the volume of sauce.

I like the sauce, but I like it to be spread pretty thin so that it doesn’t drip or squirt off the slice when you take a bite.

For me, the tomato sauce is the key to the pizza. I have to like the sauce or nothing else will matter. There has to be plenty of sauce as well. After that, comes the crust and lastly the toppings.

But if they fail with the sauce (in flavor or volume) the pizza is a failure.

As much as possible. I like some beneath the cheese layer while it’s baked, and then some extra tomato sauce slathered on top once it’s done. I tend to make/order all my foods with as much tomato as possible.

Enough to make it taste good, which in my case isn’t really that much. I like there to be enough that you can taste it along with the cheese, but not so much that it splorts out when you take a bite or pick up a slice. I like my sauce to be…saucy, yet unobtrusive. :slight_smile:

Gimme lotsa cheese and toppings, though. I don’t put many toppings on pizza (the spouse and I usually get Canadian bacon and mushrooms) so I prefer a decent amount. Not enough to fall off, though. Like Teufelblitz, I like my pizza to be neat and well-composed.

Same here, in general. It does depend on the style of pizza I’m in the mood for, but I prefer sparse use of tomato sauce and cheese to having the pie swimming in both.

My favorite pizza is mushrooms, jalapenos, and tomatoes. I’m in the more sauce the better camp.

I prefer almost no sauce. Even with pasta, I always ask for light sauce and have forever. My mother remembers that I always preferred spaghetti without sauce.

I like the average amount, so I picked “other”. The amount of crust, one topping, and sauce should be balanced.

I picked Option #2. The pizza toppings are more important to me than the sauce.

On my spaghetti or any other pasta, though, keep it coming, boys! I like a LOTTA sauce on my pasta.
