The Worst Jarred Pizza Sauce We've Ever Tasted Came From This Grocery Chain - Tasting Table
Briefly

Homemade pizza sauce can be daunting to make, yet it's crucial for a flavorful pizza experience. However, sometimes jarred options are more convenient. In a recent ranking by Tasting Table, Trader Joe's discontinued Fat Free Pizza Sauce was criticized for its flavor profile. The sauce was overly acidic, overshadowing the pizza's cheese and dough. Instead of fresh tomatoes, the use of water and tomato paste resulted in a lack of essential freshness, while its fat-free label led to the omission of olive oil, harming its taste even further.
Trader Joe's former Fat Free Pizza Sauce missed the mark in flavor, delivering an overwhelming acidic taste that clashed with the pizza's components instead of enhancing them.
The lack of freshness in Trader Joe's pizza sauce, stemming from the use of water and tomato paste rather than fresh tomatoes, diminished its overall flavor impact.
