Banza
Banza earns strong reviews for delivering chickpea-based pasta, pizza, and mac & cheese that often taste close to traditional versions while adding substantial protein and fiber. Reviews praise the consistently tasty pasta (rotini, cavatappi, shells), kid-approval, and standout frozen pizzas, but note weaknesses: noodles can overcook into mush, stick, or break; some shapes feel dense or grainy with a bitter/bean aftertaste; spaghetti/long cuts underperform; and texture declines as leftovers. Ideal for gluten-free or higher-protein swaps, provided cooking is precise.

I'm health conscious and always look for clean ingredients and better for you options. Banza pasta surprisingly tastes delicious but has only 2 ingredients: brown rice and chickpea. The texture is just right not too hard or chewy. I like that it's gluten-free. I received it for free in exchange for my honest oopinion

I love this pasta, it’s good. Tastes like Annie’s but without the gluten and with much more protein. It doesn’t have a super chickpea taste to the pasta, it just tastes like a heartier grained noodle.

Love their pasta. My favorite shape is shells. I don’t love some other shapes because they tend to fall apart. It’s really important to rinse the noodles after cooking, but if you remember to do that then they taste great

Banza is a great alternative to traditional pasta — high in protein, gluten-free, and surprisingly tasty. I expected a strong chickpea flavor, but it’s really mild and pairs perfectly with sauces. My kids didn’t even notice the difference! Banza is now a staple in our pantry. Love that I can make a healthier choice without sacrificing taste or dealing with complaints.
