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.

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.

- 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) ranch seasoning

- 1/2 tsp (0.5 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.

March 29, 2020 at 3:36 amThe sauces are delicious. The sauces make this pizza scrumptious. You do not need to add vegan cheese. The garlic and celery ranch sauces make the pizza creamy and rich. My non-vegan husband really likes this pizza and he is very picky. Next time, I will reduce the celery seed and add more ranch seasoning to the celery ranch sauce. The flavors are incredible and you can play around with the sauces to adjust to everyone’s preferences. Thank you!

May 22, 2020 at 4:24 amThis is the best pizza I have ever had. I absolutely love the buffalo sauce! It was easy to make which was a plus. I love pizza but hate to buy it because of all of the icky stuff in the crust. I rarely make my own because I never have good luck making bread products from scratch. That has all changed as of now!!! My carnivore co-worker also loved this pizza. Next time I will make more than 1 crust as I had lots of buffalo sauce left over. Thanks for this recipe!!!!

May 23, 2020 at 2:44 pmJust made this last night and it was really worth it!! I followed the recipe but used store bought thin crusts which had enough of a “lip” to contain the yummy sauce. I used avoid chickpeas, but this was so tasty! I browned some shallots and added kale with some lemon and dressed the pizza with that and a little roasted red pepper from a jar before adding the chick peas and the ranch sauce. Our other pizza was just tomato sauce with the kale onion mixture and pepperoncini and roasted red peppers and vegan parmesan. My non vegan spouse stuck with that one but I loved them both! So happy to add this to our pizza night.

May 30, 2020 at 4:59 pmI LOVE this pizza! It is by far our favourite vegan pizza. My partner prefers it to any of the vegan pizza’s we’ve ordered from a local spot that’s really quite good. Super easy to switch up the chickpea marinade or add different veg. Love the sauces, which come together quickly. Tonight is my 4th time making this!

September 21, 2020 at 1:38 pmI recalculated it and it says 1 now. Sometimes the widget picks up wrong ingredients for calculation and needs manual intervention. There isn’t any sweet stuff in the recipe so that def wasn’t the right number. Thanks for catching it
