Easy Pizza Bagels: Quick, Customisable & Totally Delicious

These pizza bagels are an absolute lifesaver when you need something quick, tasty, and endlessly adaptable. Just grab your favourite bagels, pile on your go-to pizza toppings, and in about 20 minutes you’ve got a delicious little treat that combines the chewy comfort of a bagel with all the savoury yumminess of pizza. Honestly, it is really hard to go wrong here!

These pizza bagels are perfect for speedy lunches, after-school bites, party nibbles, or a fun twist on starters. They crisp up beautifully on the outside while staying lovely and chewy in the middle. So good!

I usually stick with plain bagels, but sesame, poppy seed, everything, rye, or garlic all work a treat. Best part? You can mix and match toppings depending on what you’ve got on hand, and these pizza bagels are also ideal to use any leftovers you might have in the fridge (for this recipe, I used some sauteed mushrooms I had lurking in the fridge).

This pizza bagel recipe is also a dream if you’re catering for different diets. Just customise each one with whatever suits: veggie, vegan, flexitarian, meat-lovers, you name it.

Tips for Perfect Pizza Bagels

This is a very straight forward recipe, that you can adapt endlessly. Yet keep in mind these simple tips:

• Don’t over sauce: Use about 1 tablespoon of tomato sauce per bagel half to avoid a soggy center.
• Size matters: Cut the toppings into smaller pieces so they are evenly distributed and the pizza bagels are easier to eat.
