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've tried almost every gluten-free pasta brand available and this one is just not it. The brand packaging is great which is why I give it a two ( I appreciate good looking brands). Unfortunately, the quality of the actual product does not measure up. The pasta turns into mush as its cooked, and if it hasn't by the time you've plated it, the second you put a fork to it, it will fall apart into hundreds of little pieces. Don't waste your money.

Yum yum yum. Deliciously tasting and good for you pasta is hard to find but this brand has nailed it! Can not truly tell the distance of your ingredients are fresh real and robust

Great product. And even better customer service. I had an issue with the mac & cheese noodles falling apart suddenly and they sent me a whole new case.

So happy to find a brand that not only creates healthy products but tastes equally as good. This is my new go to for dinner!

My favorite high protein alternative pasta. Huge for me when I was doing the pescatarian diet in terms of getting your protein in and also still being able to enjoy pasta alone

Banza makes the best Pasta, i so much love the pizza, pasta and chicken I got from them. It even came with a freebies, I highly recommend them to anyone who is interested in purchasing or ordering from them.

For a health-conscious person, this will suit them. The pasta is somewhat tasty and needs to get used to. But when combining this product with, say, classic tomato pasta sauce of any kind....that sauce had great trouble wanting to get married to the pasta itself.

I’m not sure this is any better than normal pasta. I went on a pasta rage to try different tupes and i think some of the cauliflower pasta is better

This isn’t my absolute #1 gluten free pasta brand but it is readily accessible, a good price, and high protein which is great! It also is great for those who can’t eat grains. I would definitely recommend!

The pasta tasted pretty good, almost no difference with generic store-bought white ones. Probably best tasting out of all vegan pasta I’ve tried.

This is the first chickpea brand on the market that ever became known, and it's for a good reason. Banza uses chickpea and offers a healthier alternative. I would like for them to use better ingredients but love their pasta and pizzas.

I love this pasta! It is slightly denser in texture than standard pasta, but overall it is delicious. I think it can be used in any recipe that calls for pasta without anyone even noticing the switch.

I used this pasta in place of my normal regular pasta and it replaced it perfectly! It was easy to make the texture was just like regular pasta but the less carbs made me feel better after! Highly recommended!

I wanted to try a high pasta but the gumminess and flavor on this pasta was awful. I couldn't get myself to eat any of my meal prep with this or try it again. It's just not what pasta should be and I can't get past it.

For a pasta alternative it is pretty good! I really like that it is high protein. This was a staple for me on a paleo diet where I avoided grains, so banza allowed me to enjoy pasta again!

One of my very favorite gluten free noodle varieties! I love that these noodles are made with chickpeas rather than an assortment of grains.
