Banza reviews and discussion

I've tried the pasta and the pizza and for what it is, it's not bad. It is definitely a healthy alternative so it does not taste exactly like traditional pasta or pizza. You have to be careful about cooking the pasta and I would not eat it just with butter like I might with pasta but with sauce, it is good. Great if you want to eat a larger volume for fewer calories.

I've only tried the pasta and it was solid but I noticed if you cook even a minute too long, it gets mushy so be sure to check your pasta to avoid overcooking!

Taste was good, Couldn't distinguish from regular paste

I have only tried the pasta but it is really good and a great way to increase protein in a meal. Just be warned that chickpea pasta foams up much more in the pot and will probably boil over.

I got some mac & cheese on sale and it was so tasty! The chickpea texture was definitely something to get used to, but overall very yummy.

the pasta tastes like regular pasta!

Banza pizza is soooo good. I will reach for a banza pizza over a normal frozen pizza any day. The toppings are so delicious

I think their pasta products are pretty good. It definitely has a noticeable taste and texture difference from regular pasta but I think it's work it for the added protein/nutrition.

Banza provides a good alternative to pasta while having great amounts of protein and remaining healthy. However, the taste is not quite close enough to normal pasta meaning it can't be substituted into more complex dishes. I think it does fill a good gap for simple weeknight meals though.

This review is only for the pasta, as that’s the only thing I’ve tried. Wow, I was pretty impressed! The taste is actually really pretty good, as is the texture. The only thing I will say is that to me it cooked up a bit softer than regular pasta, so I’d try for a somewhat shorter cooking time next time. Also, when I prepared it I made a creamy sauce which worked well with it, but I’m not sure how it would go with red sauce.

My go-to for subbing in protein pasta. Delicious!

I've only really tried the pasta from this brand, but I like it. Love that I can have my pasta dishes whilst still getting in extra protein. I like the taste / texture, even if they do differ from your regular pasta.

I tried this pizza thinking about being healthier with my options. I did not like the taste or the texture of this pizza and ended up being a really wet crust. I went in knowing it wouldn’t be the same but it wasn’t the best alternative crust pizza that I’ve tried. The taste was okay though.

I have tried Banza pizza, pasta, rice, and mac and cheese. The rice and pasta are my favorite. The texture and flavor are decent and higher in protein and fiber compared to regular options. I have only had the pizza once, it was the vegetable one. It was just ok, but I was also a bit sick when I tried it. The mac and cheese is ok as well.

Banza pasta tastes amazing! I've loved every product I've tried so far, from the frozen pizza to mac & cheese to the cascatelli shaped-noodles.

As someone trying to work on eating better to see more progress weightlifting (but also not willing to give up yummy pasta) banza is my go to. It does taste slightly different that regular pasta, but the pros of getting extra protein, fiber, and less carbs make it worth it

As a Registered Dietitian and a parent, I LOVE how how Banza helps me provide more protein and fiber to what would otherwise be a meal that lacks both. Our whole family (and my clients) love Banza!

Finally some tasty pizza that doesn't hurt my stomach! Obsessed with Banza pizza and Banza pasta! Perfect with anyone with a gluten allergy or intolerance.

High protein. Honestly cannot taste the chickpeas that much.

I honestly do not notice a difference when eating Banza chickpea pasta versus regular pasta. It's great for my macros and I love the extra protein it provides. I also like that this brand is becoming more popular so it's easy to find in a local grocery store. I saw that they are making other products like pizzas so I'm excited to try those too!
