Today we are putting an “adultier” spin on a childhood favorite because we are going to be making pizza bagels – for adults!
There was noting quite like coming home from school and heating up a box of pizza bagels while watching after school programing before diving into homework for the rest of the night.
These gourmet pizza bagels have all the makings of the generic boxed bagels but with the fixings suited for a food connoisseur.

Overall, I definitely loved the broccolini Alfredo, pineapple and ham and roasted garlic pizzas the most. My fiancé especially enjoyed the buffalo chicken and meat lovers pizzas. As an added bonus, whatever pizzas you don’t eat you can freeze and reheat, just like boxed bagel bites.
