This buffalo chickpea pizza was waiting to be edited and posted. This Pizza is based on the Buffalo chikun Pizza from Pizza Pi in Seattle. The spicy tangy Buffalo sauce, a generous amount of white garlic sauce and celery ranch sauce and oh my, It is so good!
If you have the pizza dough ready, then this Pizza is a breeze to put together too. Mix up the buffalo sauce and chickpeas, make the blender sauces. Layer them all up, Bake and serve. Vegan, palm oil free and soy free! Easily gluten-free with my gf crusts. btw buffalo sauce has nothing to do with the animal Buffalo but everything to do with the location it was created at, Buffalo, NY.

This Vanity Fair Article on Sam Simpson. Diagnosed with terminal cancer two years ago, and given only months to live, Sam Simon is still alive and still racing to spend the fortune he made as co-creator of The Simpsons on causes he loves, whether he is rescuing grizzly bears (and chinchillas and elephants) or funding vegan food banks.
It only needed Ethan Brown to show up in the latest issue of Fast Company, to get hubbs very intrigued about trying out all the Beyond Meat Products.

- 2/3 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- a very generous dash of black pepper
For the garlic sauce
- 2/3 of the white sauce from above
- 4 cloves of roasted garlic , or 1 tsp garlic powder

- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
Celery ranch sauce
- 1/3 of the white sauce from above
- 1/2 tsp ranch seasoning
- 1/2 tsp celery seeds
- 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Make the pizza dough according to recipe. Use double the pizza dough recipe to make 2 pizzas.
- Make the Buffalo chickpeas: Mix everything under buffalo chickpeas. Mash a few chickpeas and let sit and marinate while you prep the sauce.
- Make the White sauce: Blend all the ingredients under white sauce base until well combined into a smooth sauce.
- Make the White Garlic sauce: Take about a 2/3 part of the white sauce from above and add garlic sauce ingredients. Mix well. Taste and adjust and mix or blend.
- Make the Celery Ranch: Add the ranch seasoning, celery and vinegar and mix and keep ready.
- Shape the pizza dough to a 10 inch rounds with thick edges so the sauce does not flow off the pizza during baking. Brush olive oil on it. Drizzle enough garlic sauce on the dough to coat. Add spinach or greens or other veggies of choice.
- Layer buffalo chickpeas on the greens. Drizzle some buffalo sauce from the marinade.
- Drizzle a generous amount of celery ranch. Add vegan mozzarella cheese shreds (optional). Try any of my cheeses
- Bake at pre-heated 425 degrees F / 220ºc for 14 minutes. Broil for a minute to crisp.
- Drizzle any leftover garlic sauce or celery ranch before serving.

We are nut free due to allergies. What can I substitute for the ground cashew ? Thanks!
the recipe will change considerably. you can use silken tofu for the sauce. you can also add 1/4 cup flour to the base white sauce and cook it until it thickens, then use that to make the garlic and the celery ranch sauces.
you can use cauliflower to thicken! it’s a great alternative 🙂
see my cailiflower alfredo to get an idea on how to use cauliflower for the sauce. https://fettabbau-trim.today/2014/05/cauliflower-alfredo-spinach-artichoke.html%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
WHAT A TASTE SENSATION! Truly amazing. So creative. So flavorful—didn’t even need any “cheese.” Made it with arugula as the greens. Made your whole wheat crust. My mouth is still singing.
So grateful to you for posting recipes like this. And a little resentful—why can’t restaurants offer wondrous vegan options like this? Ah well, better to cook at home, anyway!
Awesome! so glad you loved it!
What ranch mix is vegan ?
the spice seasoning is usually vegan if it doesnt have buttermilk powder. You can make your own, mix equal amounts of dries parsley, dill, thyme, garlic powder and onion powder.
Wow Richa, this pizza looks like the perfect comfort food. I cannot wait to try it for dinner on Friday (our unofficial Pizza night around here!).
Made this tonight for dinner. A triumph! One of your best.
Awesome!! So glad you all loved it so much!
I made this for my Sunday night supper. It is delicious! Thanks for great recipe.
awesome!! so glad you liked it!!
Boy, that crust browned beautifully!
I’m going to try this. I have been thinking for a while of having a few people over for a vegan pizza night. This one will have to be on the menu, it looks so good! Thanks Richa 🙂
That looks amazing! I wish it was in front of me right now!
