A quick and easy Pizza that you can put into the Oven minutes after you get back from office! Made of all-fresh ingredients, without requiring any pre-packaged pizza sauce, this Tomato Cheese Pizza has a nice tangy-spicy-herby taste and juicy-cheesy mouth-feel, which you are sure to enjoy. Basically, most of the ingredients that usually go into the pizza sauce are all layered on the pizza itself along with toppings like tomatoes and olives, all of which gives out an intense aroma and rich taste on baking. Enjoy this fresh and hot out of the oven.

A pizza without pizza sauce?? How is it possible was my 1st reaction when I read this recipe. Well If its kept online I thought obviously it must be for a reason and that it must be good.. I took the risk and made this recipe.Oh my god!!It was just the perfect ever quick pizza Iv made..The simplicity and hardly any preparation plus the taste of a pizzaaa makes this recipe a star!!! The flavour of garlic basil and oregano is so prominent..The layer of cheese at the base acts like the sauce and thats why this recipe tasted soo good!! I think making pizza has become sooo easy now..
