Banza, known for replacing wheat, corn and rice with chickpeas, is introducing a first-of-its-kind frozen pizza with a chickpea-based pizza crust. The new frozen products are packed with protein and fiber, plus they have the advantage of sharing fewer net carbs and sodium than popular options—not only traditional wheat-based crusts but also better-for-you options like cauliflower-based crusts.
Made with minimal ingredients, the alternative pizza crusts help to form flavorful bases with simple olive oil, yeast and oregano. Offering something for pizza lovers of all kinds, Banza is introducing Four Cheese, Roasted Veggie and Margherita pizzas, plus a two-pack build-your-own Plain crust. These pizzas can be prepared at home in about 15 minutes, helping to offer comforting and nutrient-dense meals.
