I have been trying some things out and found a reasonable facsimile of the Papa Gino's Sauce.
I just can't get the crust right. Mine is always too dry. I think it's because I over/under knead the dough or something since I've tried 3 different recipes for the crust.
Anyway, here is how I make a Papa Gino's sauce which is ALOT of sauce.
1 (16 oz) can Crushed Tomatoes 1/2 cup Tomato Puree (NOT sauce!) omitting this could also be tried! 2 TBSP oregano pepper 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper (I haven't used this yet but I think this is also in their sauce...very very small amount)
Cheese: Mozzarella, Provolone, Asiago shredded. I was stuck using Mozzarella, Provolone, Romano, and Parmesan shredded mix (no asiago to be found). It worked ok though.
Give the tops a small sprinkling of Oregano.
Bake at 450 degrees F but not to brown the cheese which is important!
