  • Vibrant, fresh tomato flavor

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.

  • Not all sauces are created equally! These were delicious and so fresh tasting. I used the sauce on cooked, plain fettucinne and it tasted restaurant quality. No need to embellish with more ingredients!

  • I love how this product has clean ingredients. You read the label and you can recognize everything that’s in there. I tried the cracked pepper flavor and it was delicious! It’s a nice thick sauce, not watery like most pasta sauces out there. I highly recommend!

  • I have been able to try these products through social nature. I appreciate the cleaner ingredients when compared to other brands as well as their unique flavors offered. It is a bit more on the pricey side.

  • I have never, ever liked a jarred sauce. Ever. I just tried the Cracked Pepper Parmesan sauce by Sauz and it is amazing, tastes freshly made. What a find! I'll be trying more flavors because I just have to. Sauz is like some kind of jarred miracle, something I'd serve guests even. I'm truly wowed by this great small brand. Take that, Ragu et al! You can't hold a candle to Sauz!

  • I can't even describe how OBSESSED I am with the Sauz line of marinaras. The summer lemon is refreshing, delicious, and with amazing texture. Would probably eat with a spoon if given a chance....

  • This sauce is absolutely delicious. It's made with natural ingredients and is gluten free! The sauce is super flavorful. Its not overly spicy but gives your classic tomato sauce a little something extra. It's a great way to spruce up and elevate any dish you would normally use traditional marinara with.

  • Easy and very tasty way to zing up a quick pasta meal during a weeknight.

  • Loved these sauces. Great flavor that seemed fresh and not what you typically find in a jarred marinara. The unique flavor combinations were a plus too!

  • I loved this sauce!! the only thing that would really hold me back from buying it in the future is the price. It's such a good jarred sauce but the price is tough to justify. I would definitely splurge on it once in a while though.

  • This sauce is a game changer when served over pasta that becomes burst of mouthwatering balanced flavors with an authentic taste. It's apparent that high quality ingredients are used since it is such a yummy tasting sauce. I gave it 4 stars because the price point of $9.99 is too high and see it being a deterrent for future purchases.

  • UM BEST SAUCE EVER. I put cheese on everything… especially if it’s pasta and marinara. I in fact did not put cheese in the lemon Sauz. It didn’t need it. Wonderful citrus notes with some garlic hints and just wow. LOVE. It is expensive however without a coupon

  • Sauz crafted pasta sauce is a great choice that I got the taste of Italy in my own kitchen.

  • Great product - quality stuff but not as spicy as I would like. You won't be disappointed if you choose to try it, but it does carry a premium price tag (without promotion) because it is a "boutique" sauce. I like the quality a lot but I think other brands may be more competitive with the promotions they offer in-store.

  • I had the opportunity to try the Mild Rosemary made by SAUZ through ThingTesting for free in exchange for my honest and thoughtful review. The product is overall great other than I was a little taken back by the price but the flavor and ingredients that produced the mild Rosemary sauce are superb. At my house, we love Italian food so i cooked Spaghetti and Meatballs with side of garlic bread. I mixed the sauce with the noodles and my spaghetti came out excellent. The mild Rosemary Sauz I added to the noodles made for a delightful dish. I definitely recommend the Sauz brand to my friends and family.

  • I was looking forward to the new tomato sauce, but it was a bit too spicy for my taste. I thought it would be mild with just a hint of spice since it was labeled as "honey". However, as we have children at home, it didn't meet our needs. I was disappointed because I really liked the simple ingredients and texture.

  • The Hot honey Marina is tasteful, but lacks a bit of spice. The Lemon marinara is a bit too acid to my liking.

  • I was able to snag this item from an Aisle offer! Although very pricey the lemon was absolutely insane and I will be purchasing again
