The Totino’s Buffalo Style Chicken Pizza Ramen Noodles is a wildcard, but it does say “ramen noodles” right on the label, which is kind of funny. I know Totino’s for their pizza rolls. The pack also says medium spicy, so we wanted to see about that.
Produced in the United States for General Mills, Inc.

What’s in the Package
Inside the Totino’s Buffalo Style Chicken Pizza Ramen cup is a base of flat, fettuccine-like wheat noodles pre-coated in an orange seasoning dust. This coating is a blend of cayenne pepper, vinegar, garlic, and cheddar cheese designed to mimic buffalo chicken pizza. Dehydrated chicken stock bits are mixed throughout.
How to Cook Totino’s Buffalo Style Chicken Pizza Ramen Noodles
- Remove the lid. Tip and tap the cup so the seasoning moves off the noodles.
- Add water up to the inside fill line. Let it sit for 30 seconds, then top it back up to the line.
- Microwave on high for 2 minutes 15 seconds to 2 minutes 30 seconds.
- Let it stand in the microwave for 3 to 4 minutes, then stir.
Note: Don’t eat this right after you stir it. The sauce thickens as it sits. For a thicker sauce, the package says to let it stand another 6 to 8 minutes.
How Does It Taste
It doesn’t really taste like buffalo chicken. It tastes more like plain pizza to me. It’s salty and a little sausage-y, like cheap canned tomato soup with a bit of chili pepper in it.
It also reminded us of a salty Kraft Mac and Cheese. The noodles gave me boxed pasta sides. Honestly, bring this to Thanksgiving dinner. It’s college kid food.
And I like it. It’s processed American comfort food in noodle form.
The pack says medium spicy, but it’s not. It’s low, about a 2 out of 5. The heat does stick around though. The noodles are thick and they soak up the sauce once you let it rest.
How Does It Compare
This isn’t like any Asian instant ramen I’ve had. The closest thing on the site is probably the Maruchan Creamy Chicken, which gives me the same kind of nostalgia. The Totino’s is saltier and thicker.
How to Level Up Totino’s Buffalo Style Chicken Pizza Ramen Noodles
Go with the pizza thing. Melt in some shredded white cheese, the cheap kind. Not even mozzarella. Pepperoni works too, since it already tastes like pizza.
Add Valentina or any Mexican hot sauce.
Final Verdict
The Totino’s Buffalo Style Chicken Pizza Ramen Noodles doesn’t taste like buffalo chicken. It tastes like salty pizza mac and cheese, and I like it. I’d actually buy it again. James said his kid would like it.

These noodles are NOT good, taste like they used imitation buffalo sauce, the noodle texture is slippery and short so its difficult grabbing the noodles.
Tried it cuz it sounded ridiculous, and it was just awful. Flavor was nothing like the title, and the noodles were wavy but short, so grabbing them was nearly impossible!
