  • Vibrant, fresh tomato flavor
  • Creative, distinctive flavor lineup
  • Thick, satisfying sauce texture
  • Clean, simple ingredient lists
  • Overly lemony, pithy notes
  • Occasionally too sweet profile
  • Heat intensity inconsistent
  • Higher calories and sodium

Sauz earns strong reviews for delivering fresh-tasting, uniquely flavored jarred sauces that many consider among the best they’ve tried, with standouts like Hot Honey Marinara, Summer Lemon Marinara, Wild Rosemary, Cracked Pepper Parmesan, and Creamy Calabrian Vodka requiring little to no doctoring. Reviews also flag notable drawbacks: certain flavors can skew too sweet, too spicy, or overly lemony/pithy, and several cite high calories and salt along with a consistently high price that limits repeat buys.

  • This product feels like a premium tomato sauce. From the packaging to the quality of the ingredients and taste, this product exceeds expectations and experiences from other products. It is a little bit pricey, but I highly recommend this brand. Worth it!

  • I tried the Miso Garlic Marinara Sauce. It was easy to use with pasta and a few added vegetables. I did find that the sauce was slightly sweeter than I might have preferred, but I did like the unique flavor profile and ingredient list.

  • Wow, it truly tastes like summer in a bottle. I love lemon / citrus tastes however have only just spritzed a lemon over my pasta and not had it ingrained in my pasta. This was my first flavor from Sauz, and I believe is a true testament to them shaking things up in the pasta sauce market. I can't wait to try their other flavors!

  • Really great sauce with unique flavors. The hot honey arramiata was incredible with just a little sweetness and heat.

  • Purchased from whole foods as the miso and garlic sounded like an interesting combo. Put it in my bolognese and it was delicious. I also like the fact that this doesn’t have any added sugar and limited ingredients.

  • Super super good!!! It spreads really well and the taste is sublime! A teensy weensy note would be is to lower the added sugar content for the Hot Honey Sauce because 7g of added sugar is kind of a lot.

  • The best sauce out there, honestly! Not every flavor is for me just based on my tastes but they're objectively all great. My favorites are the summer lemon marinara, and to my surprise, the brown butter alfredo! Great price point, depending on where you buy it. Target has it for cheap! Bonus points for cute and sustainable packaging :)

  • I loved the sauz sauces! They have creative bold flavors. Different than what’s in the market. In love with all of their flavors! I also like that target and Whole Foods carry it. Is premium quality sauce!

  • I really like this brand and the pasta sauce they make. They’re very flavorful. And slightly more unique than other pasta sauces. The hot honey marinara is hot. I plan on trying the brown butter Alfredo next I feel like that would go really well with some shrimp and pasta

  • I tried the Lemon flavored version of this marinara. It was very citrusy and different from many other marinara I’ve used before. However the lemon flavored version was almost overpowering and I ended up taking a long time to finish the jar. It was okay for one dinner but it was too much citrus for a long period of time. I do appreciate that it is a fairly low ingredient product but I would probably not buy again as it was also pricey.

  • I tried both Suaze sauces, though I’ll admit the red one is still sitting in my cabinet waiting for its moment. But the yellow one - the lemon-forward one - is insanely good. I liked it enough to buy it a second time, which says a lot because I rarely repurchase sauces. It’s bold, bright, and genuinely delicious.

  • I tried this marinara because i had a coupon and now they're in shelves at whole foods and target and i love how easy it is to find near me. My favorite Sauz is the lemon marinara. It is so unique and nice to have.

  • Wanted to love this, but wasn’t a fan. I don’t really love jarred sauce usually anyway so that’s important to note, but I thought this would be different and I just still don’t like it. Love their flavor ideas though

  • The branding, the flavor, the packaging of shipment all great! The package came so fast and secure I was surprised when it arrived. The different flavors of marinara are so unique, I continue to look forward to seeing what they put out.

  • Sauz is AMAZING. Great flavor profiles with unique & fresh ingredients. I particularly loved the Hot Honey Marinara which had the perfect kick of spice with natural sweetness. My only gripe is the high price tag but you pay for what you get. I will be buying again!

  • I have tried three different flavors of Sauz and every single one has been packed with flavor! They taste so fresh and homemade and make weekday dinners easy. Sauz will elevate your pasta dishes and keep you coming back for more.

  • I have really enjoyed trying all of the different flavors of this brand. I think that they are looking at pasta sauce in a new and unique way and coming up with different and fun flavors. I like the hot honey but it is a little spicy.

  • I ordered Sauz through the Thingdrop. Shipping was quick, & packaging was super nice quality. I loved both sauces & will definitely be repurchasing!!

  • I love the summer lemon. Fabulous on a rigatoni. It’s thick in texture and bright in flavor. I used it on a pizza “bagel” today. Highly recommend. Update: made eggplant parm last night with the hot honey arribiata and it was awesome! Sweet on its own, but delicious with the eggplants and smoked mozzarella and parm. Definitely buying it again.

  • The Summer Lemon Marinara was really great. Light and so much flavor. I paired it with some Banza penne, impossible ground beef, edamame, and artichoke hearts. Yum.
