Notes

For the best results, use high-quality bagels if possible. Fresh bagels from a bagel shop work great as opposed to the grocery store variety. Feel free to personalize the toppings to suit your preferences. Experiment with mushrooms, onions, or any other beloved pizza ingredients. Serve your pizza bagel with a side salad or a warm bowl of soup for a balanced meal and enjoy!
