When you think of pizza, your mind probably jumps straight to a classic, savory tomato sauce. It’s a staple for a reason, providing the perfect foundation for cheese and your favorite toppings. But at Franco’s Pizza, we believe in pushing the boundaries of flavor. We know that the right sauce can transform a good pizza into an unforgettable culinary experience. That’s why we’ve developed a lineup of unique sauce bases that cater to every craving, from tangy and creamy to spicy and sweet.
If you’re ready to explore a whole new world of pizza, it’s time to look beyond the traditional red sauce. We’re diving into some of our most creative and delicious alternative bases, each with its own distinct personality. Get ready to find your next favorite pizza.
This classic dressing isn’t just for salads and sandwiches. As a pizza base, 1000 Island sauce brings a creamy, tangy, and slightly sweet flavor that is both familiar and surprisingly delightful on a pizza crust. Its rich profile creates a mouthwatering foundation that pairs perfectly with savory meats and crisp vegetables, reminiscent of your favorite deluxe burger.
If you love the sound of a tangy twist, this base is for you. Imagine pairing it with hamburger beef, pickles, and red onion, then topping it all off with a blend of mozzarella and American cheese for a true cheeseburger pizza experience. The creaminess of the sauce cuts through the richness of the beef, while the pickles add a satisfying crunch and zing.
Rich, bold, and savory, Franco’s special steak sauce is a game-changer for pizza lovers. This is not your average steak sauce from a bottle; it’s a unique recipe designed to complement our pizzas perfectly. It has a deep, savory flavor with a hint of tang that enhances the taste of steak and other hearty toppings, creating a robust and satisfying meal.
For a true steakhouse experience on a pizza crust, you have to try the Spicy Steak Supreme. This masterpiece uses our signature steak sauce as the base, topped with mozzarella and parmesan cheeses. We then load it with steak and sausage, adding jalapeños and red onion for a spicy kick and a touch of sweetness. Another fantastic option is the Loaded Steakhouse, which combines steak and grilled chicken with mushrooms and red onions over our steak sauce base.
Cool, creamy, and refreshing, our tzatziki sauce offers a taste of the Mediterranean. Made with yogurt, garlic, and cucumber, this sauce provides a light yet flavorful base that is completely different from anything you’ve had on a pizza before. It’s the perfect choice for anyone looking for a pie that is bright, fresh, and packed with zesty flavor.
The Loaded Tzatziki pizza is essentially a Greek salad in pizza form. It starts with our creamy tzatziki base and is topped with mozzarella and feta cheeses, grilled chicken, spinach, green olives, and fresh tomatoes. For those who prefer a different flavor of olive, the Mediterranean Delight offers the same amazing combination but swaps green olives for black olives.
For all the garlic lovers out there, this one’s for you. Our garlic sauce base is rich, aromatic, and buttery, providing a savory foundation that elevates every topping it touches. It’s a versatile sauce that pairs well with a wide variety of meats, cheeses, and vegetables, adding a layer of comforting, robust flavor without being overpowering.
Our Steak & Spinach pizza is a fan favorite, combining our garlic sauce with mozzarella and feta cheeses, tender steak, fresh spinach, and red onion. Looking for a new take on an old favorite? The Classic Margherita Twist swaps out red sauce for our garlic sauce base, pairing it with mozzarella, parmesan, fresh tomatoes, and spinach for a delightfully modern take.
Do you love the combination of sweet and spicy? Our hot honey sauce base was made for you. This flavor brings a perfect balance of fiery heat from chilis and natural sweetness from honey. The sticky, sweet heat caramelizes beautifully in the oven, adding a unique texture and taste.
The Honey Pepperoni Blaze pizza is an excellent way to experience this sauce. It features our hot honey base, mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, spicy pepperoni, savory bacon, jalapeños, and red onion. For a vegetarian option with a kick, try the Sweet & Spicy Veggie, which combines the hot honey base with pineapple, jalapeños, and roasted sweet peppers, all drizzled with more hot honey.
As a Buffalo institution, we know our wing sauce. We’ve taken that iconic, tangy, and spicy flavor and turned it into an incredible pizza base. Whether you like it mild, medium, or hot, using wing sauce instead of tomato sauce creates a pizza that is unmistakably Buffalo. It’s the perfect way to enjoy two of our city’s favorite foods in one amazing dish.
The Hot Cherry Explosion is a must-try creation. It starts with our wing sauce base and is topped with mozzarella, parmesan, grilled chicken, pepperoni, hot cherry peppers, and roasted sweet peppers. This pizza is a true explosion of flavor. For those who can’t resist a ranch and Buffalo combination, the Ranch Buffalo Crunch features our wing sauce base with mozzarella cheese, chicken finger topping, banana peppers, and red onion, all finished with a cool ranch drizzle.
