I like a little kick to my pizza sauce. If you don't like it too spicy, add half of the crushed red pepper flakes and test taste it. My kids loved it, but it is up to personal preference. Also, some tomatoes are thicker than others. You may have to adjust the amount of tomato powder or cook time to get the sauce to the consistency you want. As far as toppings go, you can really add whatever toppings you would like. Be creative!
