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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
This Sauz sauce brand line has a few flavors. If you like a hint of spice this one will be for you. Personally felt like it was a tad bit spicy but everybody tastes buds are different. I love the brand and have tried other of their flavors and it’s worth a try!

I love a good tomato sauce, and sauz makes tasty flavors. My biggest issue is the high calorie count. Unless I’m having a cream sauce, I just don’t understand why it has 140 calories per serving.

Sauz NEVER DISAPPOINTS. This pasta sauce was so dang good—my family loved it! I am a huge fan of their products and have loved every flavor I have tired. Their new flavors are no exception. I don’t even bother with other brands anymore because this one is top notch.

I found this sauz at Target and it may cost a bit more than your average pasta sauce but it is worth it. This brand uses quality ingredients and the sauce have a great texture. My new favorite when a craving for vodka sauce hits. I also love the summer lemon marinara

I bought the cracked pepper and Parmesan and I honestly loved it. It was a good switch from a traditional tomato sauce or even just a Mac and cheese. Reading the ingredients list in the back i was satisfied with being able to read and pronounce the ingredients. I bought one more of the of cracked pepper and am going to try the hot honey marinara next.

I am a huge fan of these sauces because they are made with healthy ingredients and come in great flavors. I like that these are high quality and make great pasta meals. These sauces taste so good on pasta and upgrade any meal. I love the flavors and spices and these sauces are worth every penny.

I love the authentic and clean taste Sauz. I’ve tried Summer Lemon Marinara and Wild Rosemary Marinara and both were amazing. Their flavors are so different than what’s already on the shelf. I also love that it’s a local company in Los Angeles and simple, clean label.

All the Sauz flavors sounded so good that it was hard to choose just one, so I bought two! Both are absolutely delicious. The Hot Honey Marinara has the perfect balance of spiciness and sweetness. The creamy Calabrian Vodka is so rich and delicious. Both sauces taste incredibly fresh. I can’t wait to try the rest.

I tried Summer Lemon Marinara Zesty Citrus Tomato Sauce flavor by Sauz. I love it. Trying it for the first time, I cooked up some pasta and spooned some sauce over it, with a little Italian spice sprinkled on top.. It's a thick sauce and the zesty lemon flavor is wonderful. I like that this sauce contains natural ingredients, is high in Potassium, relatively low in Sodium and contains 5g of sugar. I will definitely be buying this brand regularly and I look forward to trying their other flavors.

Unique flavor, especially the lemon one. In a sea of pasta sauces, it stands out as something "new" which is kinda hard to do. I enjoyed the slight hint of lemon in there. It probably leans more toward the acidic/tart side for me though (not talking about the lemon, but the tomato base sauce itself).

Seriously the best pasta sauce I've ever had. Out of all the products I have tried from Thingtesting, this is #1. No joke. I tried both the Summer Lemon and Hot Honey variants and both were fantastic and unique in their own way. Get this ASAP!

Yum! That's all I can say. Not only is the branding on these so beautiful (and eye-catching in the pasta aisle!!!) but they're also delicious! I found myself buying all of the flavors the first time I saw them because I was unable to pick just one. Having used all of them now, I have to say my favorite is the Hot Honey Marinara. It's got just the right amount of kick to it. Second would be the Summer Lemon Marinara. I didn't think you'd be able to taste the lemon, but was surprised that you could! It was perfect for an afternoon lunch.

I never thought hot honey would be a flavor I would want in my marinara sauce but I keep coming back to this one by Sauz. It’s the perfect blend of sweet and spicy! It’s thick, flavorful, and made with high quality ingredients. This unique flavor is a great way to switch up your meals.

Flavor cranked to 10! Ate my crispy fried eggs nestled in a Sauz’s Summer Lemon Marinara this morning and found myself licking the bowl. When they say lemon, they aren’t kidding, and I can see why some people might find it to be too much. But this is a tang that other store-bought sauces only reach when I doctor them within an inch of their life - and now I can just buy it pre-jarred. I’m excited to try it with pasta and to try the Rosemary flavor I also purchased. I’d be really psyched to try their take on a Puttanesca should they ever release one. If you can’t tell I’m a salty, puckery, brine-head and I approve this Sauz.

I tried the Hot Honey Arrabbiata and found it flavorful while not too sweet. Used with rigatoni noodles but will try ravioli next. Excellent choice.

I’ve only been able to try the Summer Lemon so far, but I really liked it! Perfect for an easy dinner. We don’t use jarred sauce very often (hence why I’ve only been able to taste one so far), but this is a way better and more interesting flavor profile than normal jarred sauce! The tomato chunks were bigger than I personally prefer for a sauce, but that’s also what made it feel more homemade and high quality. While I probably won’t use this very often, it will be a great option to keep on hand when we want a lazy dinner.

I used this sauce on homemade pizza recently. The combination of sweetness from the honey and a mild kick of heat created an interesting flavor profile. However, I found the sweetness a bit overpowering for my taste, making it less suitable for everyday meals. The sauce's consistency was good, and it spread evenly over the pizza dough. While it's a fun twist on traditional marinara, I prefer a more classic flavor for regular use. It's worth trying if you're looking to experiment with new flavors, but it might not become a staple in your pantry.

really good pasta sauce! I do think it is overpriced at $9.99 from whole foods. It needs to be cheaper for me to purchase again.

I was lucky enough to try this before release and was blown away. First, the packaging is beautifully detailed. So thoughtful, from the logo to the feeling of the paper they selected for the label. Definitely felt premium in quality. I could see myself giving this set as part of a housewarming gift. I hope to see these on shelves and to see some kind of recycling program for the jars! They're both DELICIOUS - The winner in my mind is the Summer Lemon Marinara. So fresh and light - the perfect amount of lemon! The Hot Honey Arrabbiata I used as a base for a pizza and my family LOVED it.
