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.
More Pizzas from the blog including this Sriracha BBQ Tofu and Pepper jack Pizza, Jalapeno Popper Pie Deep Dish, Samosa Pizza, Mediterranean with almond feta, Deep Dish Lasagna Pizza and more here.

Reading this week.
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.

- 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 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.

Made this tonight but used Daiya ranch dressing because I didn’t have the ranch sauce ingredients.
Yummy!
Next time I will be sure to make the ranch and buy some greens!
Will def make again! Thanks!
I think we’ve made this about 10 times over, and it’s YUM.
No doubt your new book will have plenty of tasty recipes also. I’ve pre-ordered it already, but will you be able to share a list of included recipes pre-launch? I can hardly wait! 🙂
Awesome! The TOC might be available on Amazon look inside. I’ll ask the publisher if I can share it pre-launch.
Hi. You used to have a BBQ apple and mushroom bacon pizza recipe. I made it several times and the whole family lives it. However I didn’t print it because I would just type it in Google and make it again. It all of the sudden disappeared from your site and I haven’t seen it since. I was wondering why it is no longer available and if it’s possible to get it from you one last ti.e so I can print it and enjoy it forever?? Thanks so much for all your recipes, yours are definitely a favourite!!
thats probably someone elses recipe 🙂
Can some or all of the oils be left out? I try to eat WFPB and try to stay away from as much oil as I can. I am really dying to try this!
yes. you can omit the oils from the buffalo sauce and the dressing. for oil free pizza dough see http://www.veganricha.com/recipe-pages/basic-vegan-pizza-dough-oil-free
in the oven now! 🙂
I just made this and I may say it is a little spicy. I like it like that though, hahah
you can use less of the hot sauce. When you transfer chickpeas to the crust, dont drizzle all of the sauce over the chickpeas. You can add more later to taste or heat preference.
well do…next time though 🙂
I just made this for my boyfriend and I for dinner and it was amazing!!!! I think it might just be my new favorite recipe.
yay!
This looks so good!! Can’t wait ti try it. Thanks for that awesome recipe.
This was amazing. The flavor was great. I had a problem with my crust – I used your garlic pizza crust and it was a little doughy. Any suggestions on what I did wrong?
hmm, if the dough was too sticky, add more flour. Also roll it out thinner as it rises quite a bit and fatter dough will take longer to bake.
Hi Richa, this is a go-to for my husband andI at least twice month. It has replaced our Friday night pizza order from a local restaurant (since we are now strict vegans).
Any thoughts or suggestions on a great side or salad to pair with it?
Any crunchy lettuce salad will work like vegan caesar or some ranch based so you can use up the celery ranch or a roasted veggie salad like my cajun roasted bowl with garlic sauce.
Perfect! Thank you!!!
This is my go to vegan pizza! Nothing comes close. I have never had a non vegan friend not be amazed by this pizza. Thanks for this amazing recipe and several of your other recipes that are staples at my house.
yay!!
This was amazing! The whole family loved it. Thank you!
awesome!!
As an Italian, I can say that I love the idea of using chickpeas on top of a pizza and a cashew cream instead of tomato sauce.
The taste is very nice! I used spinach under the chickpeas and I didn’t have celery seeds so I used a tsp of celery leaves. I don’t know if the seeds have a similar taste.
Are celery seeds used in India? If yes, what are they called?
I find the chickpeas to be a bit too hot. I will reduce the amount of hotness but I loved the creaminess and taste of the garlic and ranch cream.
Thanks for sharing your recipes!
