  • 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.

  • These sauces are high quality and made with wholesome ingredients. I liked that the brand has unique flavors, but I did find some of the flavor profiles to be a little strong and overpowering for me. Regardless, I would recommend these sauces especially if you like bold flavors.

  • I have tried the lemon and cracked pepper so far. I am not a fan of either. The lemon was really really weird and the pepper was good at first then had a weird aftertaste. I like the concept this company is trying to do but I still prefer Raos.

  • I have gotten the hot honey sauce twice now. I really appreciated the actual kick of heat that it provides. Normally, products are a lot less spicy than advertised, but this one not only meets, but exceeds the expectation. Clean ingredients too.

  • Quick and easy route to a good meal. The sauce didn't blow me away but it was tasty and easy, and I would definitely eat it again.

  • Could have had a better depth of flavor and ended up kind of one note (the hot honey aspect really overwhelmed a lot of the savoriness).

  • My favorite pizza is pepperoni with hot honey, so I knew I had to try this sauce. It did not disappoint! The consistency was thick, like crushed tomatoes from a can. The tomatoes were bright an tangy, just enough acid. But the heat was just enough to not overwhelm, but if you do like spicy, I suggest a few more sprinkles of red pepper flakes. As for the honey component, don’t shy away from that… it’s just a touch of sweetness that comes at the end and then dissipates like the heat.

  • I really enjoyed the flavors and spices in the sauce. Paired well with spaghetti. Would love to try the other flavors.

  • I don't usually go for lemon in my marinara but this schooled me. Sauz is so good it makes me want to curse (but I won't because I'm classy). Putting it on pasta is just the beginning. Yes, it's expensive but the taste is worth it. The ingredients are high quality and you can tell.

  • YUM! We made pasta with the Calabrian Vodka and pizza with the Hot Honey Marinara, loved them both! Good, simple ingredients make it a likely candidate to have stocked in the pantry.

  • Delicious sauce! I love the creative flavors and really enjoyed the hot honey marinara! It took my pizza up a notch! However, wow this stuff is pricey! There are many other high quality pasta sauces that are cheaper. Definitely delicious, but I wouldn’t buy it without a sale

  • I thought the flavor was a bit off, I’ve had way better vodka sauces, but I like how healthy this sauce is compared to others

  • The flavors are unique. However, I'm disappointed that none of the ingredients is organic and it also tastes far too salty. It's also very expensive—$10/jar—which is particularly shocking since the ingredients are not organic/regenerative.

  • A perfectly suitable sauce. The rosemary flavor is light, but not so light that you can't tell it's there. Sweet, but not too sweet. Well balanced. Worth a try.

  • Loved the pasta sauce- tasted fresh

  • Incredible! The flavor of the sauce tastes fresh and homemade. It wasn’t also too sweet or too salty like other sauces. It’s a little expensive but the quality is worth it so I will continue to buy it.

  • I truly love arrabbiata sauce so I was super excited to try the hot honey. I do like it but it just seems very heavy to me, so I have ended up mixing it a few times with a regular marinara to balance it out a little. It does have a kick to it but sometimes it was a little much for me

  • My family was obsessed. We used the lemon flavor for pasta and the hot honey for sausage sandwiches. They're super yummy and have just enough flavor that it's not overbearing! 100% would buy again!

  • Both of these sauces are great! I was pleasantly surprised. My wife doesn’t always like it when I order random brands to try — but she loved these and reordered them already. The hot honey arrabbiata is delicious and spicy, I think perfect with meatballs or chicken. The summer lemon marinara sounds like a strange combo, but it absolutely works. It’s got a fresh lemon taste and went great with pan-fried crispy chicken. Packaging is very solid too and arrived safe and sound.

  • Pretty tasty and different from other sauces on the market! Makes a few batches of pasta per bottle.
