Leonardo's Asiago Pizza Sauce Recommended by Whom You Know
An Asiago pizza sauce calls for all things flavorful. That’s why my first thought was to pair this with arugula. The flavor combination of the asiago and arugula was delicious, but I also rounded it out with some traditional pepperoni and mushroom as well. Any way you have it, Leonardo’s Asiago Pizza Sauce is flavorful and delicious and will bring a fantastic pop of flavor to any pizza.
Here’s something to try: zucchini boats, stuffed and finished with Leonardo’s Asiago Pizza Sauce. The Asiago version of the Leonardo Pizza Sauce collection adds a delicate and flavorful finish to your favorite recipe. The zucchini balances the richness of the sauce, and your own filling can adapt to the asiago. My basis recipe includes breadcrumbs, an egg, shaved parmesan, some mozzarella and green olives. But find your own way, add the sauce and serve it at your next Saturday night shindig for very positive reactions.
Leonard's is a very subtle, nice flavor of Asiago. This sauce works well for providing just a hint of the delicious flavor of Asiago cheese, yet leaves room for you to add other cheeses to compliment it. This is an excellent sauce for dipping breadsticks as it allows you to enjoy the true flavor of Asiago. The "Garlic" and "Asiago" sauces paired well together plated atop a mound of your favorite hot, steaming pasta! A succulent treat! I enjoyed this sauce on a homemade pizza and with homemade bread sticks!

Our sauce made us famous. Leonardo’s Pizza’s award winning pies have been delighting customers in Vermont and Maine for over twenty years. Inspired to add flavor to the pizza sauce aisle and to meet the growing trend of making pizza at home, we began bottling our Leonardo’s sauce three years ago. For the first couple of years, we focused on distribution solely in Vermont to assess the viability of our concept. Having determined the concept was viable, we officially launched our line at the 2014 NYC Fancy Food Show, where we received an overwhelmingly positive response. We are thrilled to introduce our four culinary creations – Original, Roasted Garlic, Asiago and Chipotle pizza sauce. Our Original sauce is pizza sauce perfection – fresh and irresistible. Rich and tasty, our Roasted Garlic sauce is a garlic lover’s dream. Our Asiago sauce has an effortless essence – cheese, cheese and more cheese. Our Chipotle sauce is where robust flavor meets smoky heat, a mouth-wateringly complex combination. Because these flavors are cooked into the pizza sauce, it provides balanced flavor in every bite and the overall foundation to the pie. Our sauces are made with very high standards of quality and integrity, and are GMO free. Shhh….you don’t have to tell anyone it’s not homemade. Have a jar of Leonardo’s tucked away for pizza night – it could make you famous, too.
