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.

Celery ranch sauce
- 1/3 of the white sauce from above

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

This is amazing! I had never made a vegan pizza before. I had never used nutritional yeast before. I put together this pizza today and I am just stunned. The flavor! The garlic, the dill..such great flavors. The heat, the chickpeas. Oh yes. I didn’t use any vegan cheese otherwise followed as written. I can’t wait to try more of your recipies!
yay! I am so glad you tried it and liked it!! This definitely a favorite in my house too. so quick and so delicious!
Oops! Not dill but celery seed. I don’t know why my brain said dill!
Nearly fainted seeing this Richa on Ceara’s roundup! I’m definitely making this….looks to die for!
Oh, and I made your Havarti jalapeño dip again for Christmas and all my guests loved it and asked how to make it. I’m lazy though and just pretty much combined everything and blended it all up instead of making 2 separate dips…still amazing.
yay! so awesome that everyone loved the dip! this pizza has to be made once to fall in love with 🙂
This has, without a doubt, become one of our favorite new go-to recipes. Why didn’t I think of using chickpeas?! Brilliant! Thanks for posting this. Wonderful stuff all-around.
awesome! this is favorite weekend pizza at our home too!
Can I use coconut/soy milk instead of almond milk?
coconut would taste quite strongly coconutty. soymilk should work
I make a whole bunch of blog recipes and I’ve never felt the need to comment… But oh my gosh this recipe is worthy! I really dislike dairy ranch dressing and this vegan ranch is AMAZING! It feels so much cleaner! We also love buffalo things- this recipe is so genius. Thank you!
Great Emma! Yes the ranch with the buffalo chickpeas make for a delicious pizza! or wrap or salad or anything:)
