One of these or other Hela brand sauce I’d guess, basically a curry/ketchup blend but it has more intense tomato/spice flavor then american ketchup which is more vinegar/sugar

Over at /r/pizza we have a decent guide to tomatoes and sauce.
From the wiki:
> Sclafani - Don Pepino brand, not Gus Sclafani of CT. My favorite. Bright red. Sweet, bright tasting and very robust. NJ grown. Regional availablity.
> Jersey Fresh - Almost identical to Sclafani. Regional availability.
> Escalon 6 in 1 Ground Tomatoes - Wholesale only. Californian. One of the two most common brands used by pizzerias, the other being Stanislaus
> Stanislaus 7/11 (or Tomato Magic) - Wholesale only. Californian.
> * Classico Crushed Tomatoes - Possibly the same as Escalon 6 in 1s. Californian grown. National availability, but can be hard to find.
> Pastene - Not quite as good as Slafani (not quite as ripe, an odd green piece). Better availability than Sclafani, but may not be national.

I think brand is more important than the crushed vs whole peeled choice. The brand I prefer has crushed tomatoes that are hard to tell apart from whole their peeled tomatoes in recipes, so I usually have crushed on hand, and use them. Some brands' crushed tomatoes have more than just tomatoes in the ingredient list.
The US doesn't protect the name San Marzano, which is a region of Italy. True San Marzano tomatoes are grown in Italy. There is a popular US brand called "San Marzano" which are grown in CA: "These tomatoes, however, are not grown in Southern Italy - instead, they come from authentic San Marzano seeds grown in fertile California dirt.". Some like these tomatoes, while others prefer true Italian varieties. Here is a review at Epicurious, and here is a review at The Kitchn.
Tomato Sauce is literally pureed and simmered tomatoes with salt added.

Yellow mustard is the mustard you would put on a hot dog.

You can find the brand on amazon, but they are overpriced there. They sell them for $4 at my local grocery store.

That's way too much oil. Far too much paste and not enough sauce. No need to add water. Needs garlic and basil. Also needs some alcohol. Tomatoes have some flavor compounds that are alcohol-soluble.
Here's my sauce:
Add 1/4 cup olive oil to a hot saucepan. Dice one large yellow onion, add it to the pot when the oil is shimmering. Turn the heat down to medium-low. You want to sweat the onions, not brown them. After 5 minutes, add in as much crushed garlic as you like. I personally use 4 cloves. Keep that cooking for another couple minutes.
Add 2/3 cup of red wine to the pot. Cook that a few minutes to burn off some of the alcohol. (Use wine you'd want to drink. Never, ever use "cooking wine". Cooking wine is undrinkable wine that couldn't otherwise be sold and should be avoided.)
Add in one giant can (28 oz) of whole tomatoes. (I like San Marzano tomatoes, but in a pinch a big can of diced tomatoes will do.) Add in a couple generous pinches of salt and as much black pepper as you like, along with a tablespoon of sugar. Simmer all that for about 45 minutes, stirring every once in a while. Smash up the tomatoes a bit as you cook, but leave some in large chunks.
Next add in one small can of tomato paste. Stir it in well until the sauce thickens. Now add in a big handful of chopped fresh basil. (I roll the leaves up and cut them so they end up in thin strips. Google "chiffonade" to see what I mean.) Toss your cooked pasta into the mix, or put some over pasta on a plate. Shred a little parm on top and eat.
You can freeze this very well, and can also use it for the basis of other stuff. Brown some ground beef, drain and then throw it into the sauce. Sometimes I put peeled shrimp into it when I put the paste in. I also sometimes add cooked hot Italian sausage to it, and sometimes I put the sausage on a hoagie roll and pour on some sauce. That sort of thing. I also sometimes put some thyme or oregano in there too. I occasionally add red pepper flakes.
If you're wedded to the idea of bacon, cook the chopped bacon in the pot first and use the rendered fat to cook the onions. No need for oil in that case.
Edit: 1/4 cup olive oil...
My good friend u/kinenchen told me about this sweet pesto hack: https://smile.amazon.com/Amore-Pesto-Paste-2-8-Ounce-Tubes/dp/B001ET5XWG
These tubes are vegan, and are cheaper than the jars and can be found in produce section, total life saver I love pesto so much.

These it?
I used the NY-style dough recipe (with a starter) from the Pizza Bible. I'm using All Trumps High Gluten flour that I let proof for six days in the fridge in a covered dough tray then I let it sit out to hit room temperature before stretching it. I'm trying to stretch it to be as large as possible on my rectangular pizza stones.
I make my starter on Monday then make the dough on Tuesday with that starter to make pizza on the weekend.
The sauce is my own mix:
7/11 tomato sauce, minced garlic, sea salt, basil, and oregano.
Cheese is a 50/50 mix of low moisture mozzarella and full-fat fresh mozzarella with a few pinches of fresh parmesan after cooking before slicing.
No, I'm serious. If Ketchup is Tomato Sauce, then what is the thing that an American such as I would call "Tomato Sauce" called?
https://www.amazon.com/Hunts-Tomato-Sauce-15-Oz/dp/B00I9VC6Y0
​
Maybe just Tomato Puree?
I'm going place my bets on the balsamic vinegar being the issue. Depending on its age, it can shoot right to dessert territory. I don't think you need a can of paste, tbh. I recommend buying the tube instead of a can next time so you won't be forced to use the whole can.
Canned tomato sauce is a somewhat thickened tomato puree, often with a few flavoring ingredients such as garlic, onion, and perhaps some herbs added. I believe passata would be a reasonable substitution. Link to a typical canned sauce.

I order 6 in 1 tomato sauce from the company and add pizza seasoning (Italian seasoning, fennel, etc) to it. 6 in 1 is what one of the famous Chicago pizza places use.

Canned tomatoes. Seriously do yourself a favor and buy the Cento San Marzano tomatoes. They are so much nicer than any other tomato in the US.
My advice is for the tomatoes -- buy the best quality you can, it makes a difference. If you can find this brand of canned tomatoes for your sauce -- Alta Cucina -- they are the BEST tasting canned tomatoes and make an unbelievably delicious sauce -- they were recommended by the owner of the city's best pizza restaurant. I can only find them at a specialty foods store near me. Second to those is Pommi, they come in a tetrapack and are pretty widely available at grocery stores.
I had the same issue with Doritos. But I learned to knock off their recipe for myself. I now make a Dorito style dip with greek yogurt. I'll have it on carrot sticks or radish slices. Or even pork rinds. It's not as easy as burying your face in a bag... but when you have control of all the knobs on the machine you end up a winner.
The hardest part about Dorito's is that a large ingredient is actually tomato powder. But Amazon can help.

they have smaller sizes too.

Plus a couple cans of petite diced tomatoes and water. Fresh basil if you have it, garlic + onion and maybe some mushroom. A cup of wine adds a depth of flavor, but isn't necessary. Let it simmer for a few hours and salt/pepper to taste. Total cost is around 5-6 bucks to make (depending on how much veg you add) and is enough to serve 6 per meal.
I get the same cans off Amazon. Seem fine to me.

Saute a large onion and a full head of garlic in a big ass pot, then add the 6 cans of tomatoes with salt, pepper, italian spices. Cook for 1.5 hours on medium/low stirring every 15 minutes. Let sit for a couple hours to cool down, then put into portion sized ziplocks. Freeze them, leaving 2 at a time in your fridge.
When you want a meal pan fry your favorite meat (I do chicken sausage or chicken thighs usually) and vegetables (bell peppers, mushrooms, zucchini are good) then add a portion of sauce directly to the pan with the meat/vegetables. Add noodles. I add fresh basil and anchovies (umami baby), but it's not necessary.
If you want a meal for launch day but don't want to cook, pre-prep the whole thing, fridge it, and just microwave it. Generally lasts 2 days in the fridge with noodles. Sauce lasts about a week in the fridge, a year+ in the freezer. Makes 14-18 meals worth of sauce.
You can buy sauce, but this is cheaper than the good stuff and tastes better.

Yup, they are the same brand. I'm gonna buy some this weekend from Restaurant depot!
> Because it is once his heavies become UB the window to soft feint into DE closes shortly after.
Sorry, but I cant find sense in this statement. Are you suggesting the heavy should be feintable while he's already hitting you?
> you just need to know the recovery time which is something a good ganking squad would know.
A lot of people tend to make the mistake of assuming the game should be tailored to the top 1%, while 99% of the players are playing casually/solo.
> Except Raider's is better at denying revenge activation then Shugoki
I didn't even mention Raider in this statement.

While i usually prefer to make my own, this one isn't bad either: https://www.amazon.com/Barilla-Pasta-Sauce-Variety-Ounce/dp/B00FQGP20Q
Here is a ridiculous amount of them
I mean, single-use glass and metal are still SUPER common. Canned food is either in glass jars or tin cans; and drinks like wine, liquor, beer come in glass or aluminium. And soda also comes in glass and aluminium in addition to plastic bottles.
I always make a point of buying "canned" food in Recart paper cartons when I have the option. So far they have them for beans, crushed tomatoes and for coconut milk at my grocery store.

There are lots of others; these are just thoughts. They're things you say you like, and honestly, I'd rather buy them than Pringles (for one thing, they are much more yummy.) Let me now if you update it; in any case, happy holidays1

Yeah, tomatoes are very flavorful as shown in the figure below:

BTW, we could get Alta Cucina tomatoes from Restaurant Depot for $5 a can:

It's bloody expensive on Amazon, shipping is high for such a heavy #10 can:

They didn't mention anything about BPA-free linings, though.
Gotta buy in bulk. Either #10cans, or 10 or 12-packs of 28oz cans. The big cans you would need to portion and freeze if you're a home user.
Something like this:

or a 12 pack like this:

Thank you so much!
I had come across that canned tomato theory before recently and thought it made a lot of sense. That makes things even easier in regards to making pizza sauce.
Just so you know, my plan for the first can of tomatoes I buy is for the making of a Sicilian pizza. And after that it is NY style pizzas on my baking steel. So I am not looking for authenticity, just the best tasting (or best tasting at the best bargain price, aka bang for my buck) tomatoes.
If I can't get my hands on Sclafani Crushed Tomatoes locally, I will order them online for $1.70 a can, that's nice!
Thanks for the Boars Head deli sliced mozz recommendation! I'll be on the look out for that too. I'm already hoping to find Boars Head natural casing pepperoni which I see is ranked #1 for pizzas by Serious Eats.
edit:
I just got a can of crushed Hunts, Cento and Contadina tomatoes. Will be fun to make pizza sauce with them and see how I like them. My #1 brand to still attempt to find and try is Sclafani but there's no rush. Now the journey to finding good natural casing pepperoni sticks and deli sliced mozz.
You've tried the Jersey Sclafani's?
Ingredients:
Dough sits in fridge for anywhere from 1-4 days. Oven set to 500F (max on my oven). Baking steel placed about 6" from broiler. Pizza goes in for 5-6 minutes on bake, and then about 2 minutes on hi broil. Basil added afterwards.
As of yesterday! They are canned tomatoes:

In the U.S., we just have cans of tomato sauce. Do you have this?
