What's the difference between spaghetti sauce and pizza sauce?

Don't think I've ever really thought about it but yes, I guess it would be good with just crushing the tomatoes to go straight onto the pizza.

We put many things raw on pizza so why not tomatoes. The taste of a raw tomato is completely different than a tomato sauce and it's an option that I personally like and the people that have had my pizza, not all the time, but certainly here in tomato season. If it's good enough to be done in Naples, then why not somewhere where good tomatoes can be had. Try it, you might like it and with a little buffalo mozzarella, basil, some extra virgin olive oil, garlic and sea salt is pretty dang good if you ask me.

That sort of pizza is among the "specials" list usually and the more expensive ones,its so tasty you can even leave out the garlic.
My husband used to make pizzas in our firewood oven using our home-grown datterini/pomodorini,adding just garlic, oregano or basil, and evoo. Spectacular!

I don't have a wood fired pizza oven but I do have a commercial bbq that puts out 80,000 BTU with 4 burners that I use for catering and I drop a pizza stone in it and can cook a pizza in 3 or 4 minutes. Alternatively my kitchen oven goes to 550 and I can put out a pizza in about 10 minutes although the hydration in my pizza dough is actually higher when using the kitchen oven.
