Best of Thingtesting4.2

Banza earns strong reviews for chickpea-based pasta, mac & cheese, rice, and frozen pizza that many say taste close to traditional versions and deliver satisfying, high-protein, gluten-free meals. Reviewers praise consistent texture when cooked properly and standout items like white cheddar mac and the pizzas, but note weaknesses: noodles can overcook into mush, turn sticky or fragile, some shapes feel grainy or too firm, and a distinct chickpea or bitter aftertaste appears for some.
