I know Melinda’s can be divisive. I absolutely can’t stand their Louisiana sauce. But this particular hot sauce is my favorite pizza hot sauce no question. I think the mix of roasted sweet and habanero peppers and roast garlic, with a little lime juice tang, just makes any pizza slice pop a little more.
Also, it has the added benefit of making that slice too spicy for my kids or wife to eat, irrevocably claiming it to be mine.

Now I’m craving that lol
Their Ghost Pepper one is amazing on pizza as well.
I love Detroit style
I’m pretty attached to Garlic Reaper for italian
It’s the creamy style ghost pepper that does it for my pizza.
I love the Tabasco Scorpion on pizza
It’s good for sure. I also enjoy Tabasco chipotle on pizza.
Bravado BG Reaper for me. Now if only it came in Pint bottles
This is my go to sauce, it is absolutely the best, top levels of spice without being so spicy it’s unenjoyable
Adding to this list. Thank you
My absolute favorite pizza hot sauce
CaJohns Fatalii puree is king
My go-to sauce other than Crystal
Try it in vegetable soup!
Strongly disagree – secret aardvark is the goat pizza sauce
I am a big sriracha fan for pizza. This is a decent sauce but I said in a different thread I just prefer other sauces for the uses
Agreed, its my pizza go to as well. Not everyone is a fan of Melinda’s, often for good reason. But it’s pretty easy to find, better than average, and actually packs a bit of heat.
This is my favorite gyro hot sauce.
For pizza, man, depends on the pizza. Pepper North Black Cherry & Reaper is *always* my go to — My all time favorite hot sauce, but Outer Limits Ghost Pepper & Garlic is good, Darth Sambal is good, Queen Majesty Red Habanero & Black Coffee…. Lots of choices, there.
That’s indeed a good combo, especially with pesto.
Ghost pepper wing sauce by Melinda’s has to take the cake here
Everyone’s gonna hate me but for pizza I like pepper flakes. Anyone ever try combining the two?
