Banza reviews and discussion

Banza rotini is a great alternative to traditional pasta! The spiral shape holds sauce really well, making it perfect for pasta salads or a quick weeknight dinner. I love having a pasta option with extra protein and fiber that still feels satisfying. It’s versatile, easy to prepare, and a great pantry staple!

Banza Gluten Free Brown Rice Elbow Pasta is a great pantry staple for anyone avoiding gluten! The elbow shape is perfect for mac and cheese, pasta salads, and casseroles. I love having a gluten-free option that works in so many recipes and has a familiar pasta feel. Easy to prepare and versatile!

Banza Cheddar Elbows are a delicious twist on classic mac and cheese! The chickpea pasta adds extra protein and fiber, while the cheesy cheddar flavor makes it comforting and satisfying. It’s an easy meal when you’re craving cheesy pasta but want a little more nutrition. Great for a quick lunch or dinner!

Banza penne pasta is a great alternative to traditional pasta! I love that it’s made with chickpeas for extra protein and fiber. It has a satisfying texture and pairs well with all kinds of sauces. Perfect for easy weeknight dinners when you want a more nutritious pasta option without sacrificing taste!

Banza shell pasta is a great alternative to traditional pasta! I love that it’s made with chickpeas for extra protein and fiber while still having a satisfying texture. The shells hold sauce really well and work perfectly in mac and cheese or pasta salads. A tasty pantry staple!

I really enjoyed cooking with this pasta and it tastes great. I love the added protein and fiber, too. I can feel the difference after eating because I'm not craving sugar and carbs and I feel satisfied and satiated. It seems like it doesn't spike my blood sugar the way regular pasta does.

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 was pleasantly surprised by this product line. When I tried the pasta and pizza for the first time, I was skeptical. However, I found they had excellent taste quality. I honestly would not have known they were made from chickpeas if I were served them. I greatly appreciate the health aspect.

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. I found out it is high in glyphosate unfortunately so I have stayed away from this brand.

This pizza was amazingly good. I received five pizzas to try (one each of four cheese, veggie, margherita, and two plain crusts to make my own pizzas). My mom and I had a pizza night when we received the box and did a taste test of the first three types. They were all delicious. They cooked quickly and evenly in 14 minutes (we like a crisp crust and it came out perfectly for us). The flavor was so good and the best part was that I did not get a sick stomach afterwards (which often happens with some other pizzas). I liked that they were lower in carbs and higher in protein. My mom and I both said we look forward to having Banza pizza again and we will be checking out our local grocery store soon for it.

Banza almost makes perfect gluten-free pasta. The pea protein flavor does come through and the pasta sadly gets mushy easily when being boiled on the stove. I wanted to like this product but I do think alternatives are better in every way.

Texture took a bit to get used to, but my family now really enjoys it! Pasta night is our second favorite night! Working on making it a weekly thing and who knows--maybe pasta night may soon become the fav!

Banza’s Pizza is great, not too much flavor but it tastes good and I would definitely buy it again!! Easy to make! The price is a little high but that’s okay with me! However, I really do not like the pasta, it is so slimy and has a bitter taste. I like that it is made of chickpeas for the sustainability and healthiness of the product, but if you don’t like chickpeas, you wouldn’t like the pasta. Especially for the price!!

Easy to eat and cook. This is not heavy on the stomach like another pasta is. I have tried their pasta and pizza and it is the best thing ever! I am so happy that I switched my pasta choice to this!

I meal prep and make vegetarian pasta with at least 30g of protein in it. One box of this makes 4 servungs of pasta, and paired with sauce and some pea protein crumbles it's awesome for a high protein lunch. I cook it for about 8 minutes then run under cold water to keep firm, before adding toppings. One of my meal prep staples as an active person! 4/5 stars because I wish it came in a larger package, instead of several packs of 8 oz. (Less plastic)

I keep a box on hand for my brother who is gluten intolerant. The packaging is so cheerful! I use it mostly for pasta salad as a great bring to work cold meal. It works best under cooked!

I thought their pastas were alright, but their pizzas are where it’s at! Not gluten intolerant here, just like trying different products. I will def buy their pizzas again. Also kudos to their customer service. Got this on a drop, and the package came completely smashed and melted after being delayed by the courier. Banza was able to send me a new shipment and accommodate me with my own schedule.

Oh this was a surprise for me bc this are made of peas.. I was a little worried til I made it take good I thought was going to be bad. U need to try them

I like the brand overall and love their innovation over the years into new product categories. I also think they’ve definitely improved the pasta texture. I recently tried the cheddar Mac and cheese and really liked it! For chickpea pasta it has a great texture and taste. The ingredients and macros are good too. It didn’t stay creamy for long though, I think I prefer other brands for healthier mac and cheese but I’ll definitely be trying some of their other products soon!

I have been eating banza pasta for a few years. I am gluten free and also try to make sure I incorporate protein into all my meals. My favorite ways to use are to make a cheese sauce and add it to the pasta noodles and I make a pizza at least once a week.
