Variations & swaps
Possible Substitutions and Variations
- Sub the cheese: Use provolone in place of mozzarella.
- Sub for bagels: Try ciabatta bread, pita bread or individual naan bread for the bagels. Mini bagels are also fun! Kids LOVE mini bagel pizzas for parties and sleepovers.
- Top with any pizza toppings you like: Regular pepperoni, olives, Canadian bacon, pineapple, ham, cooked bacon, cooked sausage, tomatoes, black olives, or sautéed veggies (bell peppers, mushrooms, red onions).
- Make a white pizza bagel: Skip the red pizza sauce and use a blend of ricotta and mozzarella cheese.
- Swap the sauce: Try with a thick alfredo sauce or basil pesto sauce in place of marinara sauce. Homemade pizza sauce is the best, though!
- Alternate baking method: Cook them on the grill or bake them in a stovetop toaster oven.
