Everyone loves a homemade pizza takeaway (you loved my French Bread Pizza and Naan Bread Pizza!) so here’s another that I often turn to for a quick lunch.
These Pizza Bagels have the flavour of the real thing, without the cost or waiting time of a takeaway pizza – plus you can customise your toppings.

Pizza Bagels Ingredients Notes
- Bagels – Choose 1 each (or as many as you like) and go for your favourite kind in the supermarket. Plain is usually best
- Sauce – Passata (sieved tomatoes), garlic granules and dried oregano
- Grated mozzarella – I prefer this here rather than buffalo mozzarella, as that can need longer cooking as it can be quite wet
- Your chosen toppings
How to make Pizza Bagels
1. Halve the bagels and mix the sauce ingredients together.
2. Spread the sauce evenly on top of the bagels.
3. Sprinkle the cheese evenly between the pizzas and add your chosen toppings.
4. Cook (as per the recipe timings below) until golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Leftovers
In the fridge Leftovers are great cold for lunch (mmm cold pizza!) Keep covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
In the freezer These are definitely best fresh, but I would also freeze them rather than letting them go to waste.
Reheating You could reheat this in the microwave but it won’t be very crispy. You could also try reheating in the oven or air fryer, but be careful not to overcook them.
FAQs
If you’re in a hurry, these are great on their own or with a quick side, like my cucumber salad.
But if you’re cooking these as part of a bigger meal, you could serve up Homemade Chips too.
Nope. Value-for-money passata wins out every time here, and all we have to do is season it well and mix in a few herbs for an instant pizza sauce that’s has no added sugar or other ingredients.
It depends on the size of your air fryer. I can fit two in mine at a time. Just make sure they’re not on top of each other.
