If you’ve ever wondered whether your favourite Indo-Chinese condiment can double as the perfect pizza canvas, you’re in for a delicious surprise! In this post, we’ve taken Winn Foods’ very own winn sauce—in particular their fiery winn red chilli sauce—and put it to the pizza test. Pull up a chair in My Chinese Kitchen and get ready for an Easy Peasy Chinesey twist on pizza night.
Schezwan sauce strikes the perfect balance of sweet, savoury, and tongue-tingling heat. It’s a staple in Indo-Chinese cooking, but could it replace tomato sauce on pizza? We teamed up with Winn Foods to find out. Using their premium Winn Schezwan blend meant we started with a base that’s consistently flavourful and bright red—ideal for that classic pizza look.
We began by preheating the oven to 220 °C. A thin layer of plain pizza dough was rolled out onto a baking tray. Then came the hero of the dish—winn sauce—spread generously across the base, followed by a swirl of winn red chilli sauce for that extra fiery kick. For toppings, we used shredded mozzarella, julienned bell peppers, thinly sliced onions, and a handful of diced pineapple to add a sweet counterpoint to the spicy base. Optional protein like shredded chicken or tofu worked wonderfully too. After assembling the pizza, it was baked for 10–12 minutes, until the crust turned golden and the cheese melted into a bubbling layer of deliciousness.
The first bite delivered an instant chilli-garlic punch that tomato sauce could never compete with. The melted mozzarella beautifully balanced the spice, giving that familiar stretchy, comforting texture. The veggies added a much-needed freshness, and the pineapple brought a sweet lift that made the whole thing sing. Our verdict? A solid 9/10—this fusion pizza is fiery, fun, and an instant hit for parties, family dinners, or solo indulgence.
This pizza scores big on versatility. You can swap in your favourite toppings—mushrooms, olives, paneer, or even leftover stir-fried veggies—and it’ll still taste amazing. The best part? It comes together in under 20 minutes, making it a true Easy Peasy Chinesey dinner solution. Plus, the spice level is easy to customise—just increase or reduce the winn red chilli sauce depending on your heat tolerance.
If you're not used to too much spice, you can mellow the intensity by mixing the Schezwan sauce with a little tomato ketchup. Just before serving, add a sprinkle of fresh coriander or chopped spring onions for vibrant colour and aroma. And here’s a clever hack: any leftover dough with sauce freezes beautifully, giving you a head start on your next pizza night.
Ready to ditch boring pizza sauce for something that brings serious zing? Grab your Winn Schezwan sauce from the pantry and fire up that oven. Whether you’re hosting movie night or just craving something bold and satisfying, this Schezwan-base pizza is your new favourite fix.
