Can you use ketchup as pizza sauce?

Helloo pizza lovers!! While I was prepping our family dinner last night, I have thought of this.
Do you think we could swap out pizza sauce for ketchup? I mean, both are tomato-based, right? But would it work? Has anyone ever tried it? I'm all ears for your experiences and opinions!

Hey there! While ketchup and pizza sauce both have tomato bases, they do have some distinct flavor differences. Pizza sauce typically has herbs and spices added to it to complement the toppings, whereas ketchup tends to be sweeter and tangier on its own. While it's totally okay to experiment in the kitchen, swapping pizza sauce for ketchup might alter the flavor profile quite a bit. It could work in a pinch if you're in a bind, but it might not give you that classic pizza taste you're craving. That said, trying new things is part of the fun of cooking, so if you're feeling adventurous, why not give it a try and see how it turns out? Let us know if you discover a new pizza sensation!

While you can technically use ketchup as a pizza sauce substitute, it may not provide the same depth of flavor and consistency as traditional pizza sauce, as ketchup tends to be sweeter and tangier.
