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.

Banza noodles are a great addition to the pasta market! I buy Banza chickpea noodles for my homemade bakes and casseroles. The protein content is terrific.

Great protein, chewy texture. I liked this pasta for the nutritional content, but it did take a long time to cook and seemed a it chewy and tough. When it's well-salted and mixed in with a heavy sauce though, it tastes pretty good!

I have bought Banza at the store and thought. It was really good for a gluten free option. It’s a heartier pasta than a lentil and or rice type pasta. I would buy it again. It’s fun to try new things.

I recently tried Banza and it's a game-changer! An easy way to boost protein in my diet without sacrificing taste. It's pasta, but with numerous health benefits. I was pleasantly surprised by the delicious taste, and I love that it aligns with my health goals. Definitely a staple in my pantry now

As someone with a gluten allergy, this is my go to. This pasta is not only nutrient rich with protein but is a great texture for a gluten free pasta.

I have tried Banza pasta many times. I love that it's a healthier alternative to pasta. My husband says he can taste the difference and doesn't like it, but I think it's just as good.

I continue to purchase Banza occasionally when the gluten-free pasta options are limited, but it just never quite manages to be what I am looking for. It is very easy to overcook, the texture can become mealy quickly, and I often find the product does not stand up to sauce. The cooking process can also be irritating, producing a lot of foam to boil over the top and cooking time seeming to be a knife's edge for getting the right consistency.

I use Banza when I make mac and cheese and it's kid-approved at our house. I like the little bit of nutty flavor with a bit of chew. Yummy replacement

It’s very similar to regular pasta and a great alternative!

It was ok. A lot of gluten free pasta has a weird texture and this one did too. What I found was best was to slightly undercook and then thoroughly rinse with cold water. Did use for my thanksgiving mac and cheese and it was good. Good for a gluten free pasta but not a substitute for regular pasta

This is one of the best companies ever! High protein, clean ingredients and really delicious! Their pizza is amazing, crust is never soggy. Their rice isn’t perfect but it’s really good and we love it. The pastas are also great. Again, for doing imitations of main staples with chickpeas, I think all their products are super good!

I’m gluten free- so I keep Banza products in my pantry to make all of the pasta dishes I like to make. I also like the higher protein and fiber content

Seriously the only pasta we buy in our house! Such a great alternative and love the added protein. The texture is not too far off from regular pasta and the flavor goes well with any sauce we’ve paired it with!

I like most of the products made Banza, my personal favorite being the pizza. It's a good option for people who need pasta alternatives.

Pleasantly surprised by this product! I purchased for my toddler and was worried about the difference in taste but they didn't even notice. Honestly if someone made me dinner with Banza instead of typical pasta - I wouldnt even notice. They are easy to overcook though and become mushy.

These are great gluten free noodles. Their Mac & cheese is good as well. They do froth more than a typical noodle when cooking. So you do have look over them. I continue to purchase them

Love them! So far, the best gluten free noodle that is filling and holds up well during cooking.
