Recipe notes and expert tips

  • Substitute
    If you don’t have bagels, substitute them with English muffins.
  • Bagels
    We’ve used plain bagels, but you could use the bagel of your choice.
  • Crispy
    For crispy pizza bagels, spread olive oil before the pizza sauce.
  • Air fry
    You can also make pizza bagels in the air fryer.
  • Storage
    Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and freeze for up to 3 months.

Topping variations

Add your favorite pizza toppings, and ensure you don’t overload the bagels, or they’ll turn soggy.

Try these other toppings:

  • Bell peppers
  • Vegetarian cooked sausage
  • Vegetarian bacon bits (in replacement for Canadian bacon)
  • Diced pineapple
  • Sautéed mushrooms
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Italian seasoning
  • Pizza seasoning

How to store leftover pizza bagels

Leftovers will keep for up to 3 days when stored in the fridge in an airtight container; they have a tendency to go soggy, so reheat them before eating.

They’ll also freeze for up to 3 months.

Check out how to reheat pizza in an air fryer.

What to eat pizza bagels with

Pizza bagels are delicious just as they are, but we love spreading sauces over them or dipping them; these are perfect!

  • BBQ sauce
  • Garlic aioli
  • Spicy aioli

Should you toast bagels before making pizza bagels?

No, you don’t have to toast the bagels before baking them; however, give them a light toasting if you want a crispy bagel.
