I worked at some of the pizza place/bakeries you enjoyed strip at. The sauce and dough are beyond simple. I am not going to betray the companies recipes but I can tell you the dough is flour/water/yeast/salt and the sauce is tomato/onion&garlic powder, oregano, red pepper, canolia oil, salt. Thats it.

Sauce goes on heavy and the whole thing is cooked until the dough is golden brown and delicious.

It's also cooked like a pan pizza correct? On a pan with sides and lots of oil on the bottom.

Enough oil to grease the pan. Too much oil and it will give you an off flavor. You are going to want to cook it at ~500⁰ or as hot as your oven can go and hot oil will smoke and give a bitter flavor

Tomato -paste-, right? I could have sworn there was sugar in the sauce, too.

No, tomato sauce, plain ass tomato crushed up into oblivion. No sugar although I will always long for Zaccinninnis which 100% had powdered sugar on theirs

Maybe your local bakery uses sugar? Idk just going off my experience

Totally believe you - I’ve had them from many places and that’s what my palate says - obviously it could be wrong!
