Banza reviews and discussion

As a gluten free girly who needs her protein, and someone who looks for quality ingredients, I eat this multiple times a week! Took me a little bit to get used to the texture but my pantry is always stocked with Banza! My fav is pasta salad. Yum!

Will stand with this brand for life! Great variety of products, the macros are amazing & everything I’ve tried so far, tastes great. Make sure to stir noodles consistently to keep them from sticking together & you’ll need to rinse the film before adding sauce, etc. but no complaints! The pizza is bomb, add some chicken or turkey bacon on top and voila, the best supreme pizza!

I’ve tried many kinds off banza and I’ve liked every one I’ve had with

Great alternative to mass-made grain based pasta. My favorite shape by them that also holds sauce very well is cavatappi. However there are other lentil based pastas that have higher fiber and protein. If you're looking to buy high quality dry grain based pasta, look for organic grain, die-cut, slow-dried.

I really like the taste of Banza and the texture, but I stopped buying the brand when I read about the high levels of heavy metals in their pasta. I really hope it's not true or, if it is true, that they will address it and fix it.

Looking for a gluten free pasta, I have used Baza a couple of times, but unfortunately the pasta doesn’t stick together. It does have a good taste.

It’s definitely not as good as a proper bronze-die semolina pasta, but I appreciate the extra protein and fiber, and the pasta is great for things like soups (and the mac and cheese is perfectly serviceable). Not as into the pizzas and haven’t tried anything else.

This is my new favorite gluten free pasta! Cooks just like gluten filled pasta and has a great texture. This is the best stuff out there for those who are gluten free, or even if you're not!

Banza is a game-changer for anyone looking to enjoy pasta while eating healthier! Made from chickpeas, it’s packed with protein and fiber, making it a much better option than traditional pasta. The texture is perfect—firm and satisfying without being too chewy. I love that they also offer a range of options like mac & cheese, pizza, and rice, all made from chickpeas, which makes healthy meals easy and delicious. If you’re trying to eat cleaner but still love comfort food, Banza is a must-try! 💪🍴

Decent gluten free and high protein/fiber pasta. But it gets very soft very easily- it can easily lose its bite no matter how I cook it. Definitely not as good as the Trader Joe’s brand gluten-free/high protein pastas! They have some amazing lentil pastas

This pasta was very nice and I paired it with a nice sauce with some chicken. I felt very healthy eating it and will buy it again! Also love the packaging.

Awesome for vegetarians! Doesn't taste *exactly* like regular pasta but not far off at all. I love getting extra protein so I don't have to worry about empty carbs.

Love this chickpea-based pasta. Great alternative to regular pasta and has good protein and fiber content. Also think it is a great value for the cost.

Unsure how I feel about this pasta. The texture can be a little slimy but the taste and protein are nice perks. Can see how it would be great for someone who is gluten free.

I wanted to like this because I've been having tummy issues related to wheat (any fructan-intolerant peeps out there?), but the texture is super gummy in a very unpleasant way. It sticks to the teeth way more than regular pasta, and as someone with sensory issues, that's a pretty solid no from me. It'll do in a pinch, but my hunt continues.

Flavor wasn't quite right for me.

This isn’t the best pasta. It takes forever to cook and the taste and texture isn’t very good. There are better gluten free pastas than this.

I love this brands pasta. It taste the same as normal pasta, but with better benefit to it than normal pasta. Would recommend.

I recently tried Banza pasta and was disappointed with the experience. While I was excited to find a chickpea-based alternative, the taste didn’t quite hit the mark for me. It had an off-putting flavor that overshadowed the dish I was trying to create. Additionally, the texture was a major letdown—it turned out super mushy, making it unappealing to eat. I appreciate the brand’s effort to offer a healthier option, but unfortunately, Banza didn't deliver on taste or texture for me. I’ll be looking for other alternatives in the future.

I was pleasantly surprised by this pasta. A bit gummy, but a great alternative (chickpeas) over flour.
