I am not a big fan of the texture of pieces of tomato on pizza...I am much more partial to a good "sauce". This makes it difficult for deep dish or stuffed crust pizzas because they tend to get too runny.

Anyone have ideas/suggestions/tried-and-true recipes fo a good firm sauce that will be good to us for my next attempt?

Hmmmm. The only thing I can suggest for thickness/firmness is to use puree with some tomato paste added to your taste. Or cook the sauce you usually use down to a thicker consistency.That's what I do. You'll be safe, because unlike thin crust on a stone, the stuffed won't draw moisture out to make it TOO thick.

Hey RS
I am just getting started on deep dishes myself and it seems many who use an uncooked sauce drain the tomatoes first to firm them up.

If starting with crushed, texture could be further reduced with a blender.  If starting with a sauce or puree I imagine a finer mesh or adding a layer or two of cheesecloth might do the trick if necessary.
