Does tomato paste thicken pizza sauce?

[ChocoJay]

Hey everyone!! I'm experimenting around with my pizza sauce recipe. I'm wondering if tomato paste plays a role in thickening it up. I've heard mixed opinions on this. I've added tomato paste before, and it seemed to give my sauce a nice consistency. Any sauce experts out there who can shed some light on this? Let's discuss it!
