We've had both, yet they both taste distinctly different. With tomato bases so similar, what makes them different?
(and if you think they're the same, try using pizza sauce over noodles, it ain't the same)

It would also be nice to know was "spices" are different in each.

Pizza sauce has a higher concentration of tomato paste resulting in a thicker sauce that's able to withstand high oven temperatures without separating and becoming runny. Because of this, a higher degree of sugar and spices must be added to reduce the acidity (taste-wise) of the additional tomato paste.

Pizza sauce and pasta sauce are two very smilier things, but also are different, Pizza sauce usually has tomato paste and has not very many seasonings in it, as pasta sauce has spices, and has chunks of tomato and can have meat in the actual sauce

not to much of a difference other than the constancy of the sauce pizza is thicker so it doesn't cause a soggy crust. And often pasta sauces are chunky

To me, pasta sauce generally tastes just a little bit sweeter; other than that, I think it's just a matter of spices, and personal preference.
