Bagel Bites Pizza Bagels
Bagel Bites Pizza Bagels Review
Today I would like to present a review of Bagel Bites pizza bagels. If you can recall about 2 months ago I went shopping to ramp up for my second wave of microwave frozen pizza reviews. To be honest I had kind of burnt out of eating microwave pizza. As a result I have not spoken about the topic since and my freezer has still been full of frozen pizzas. In an attempt to clear out my freezer a little, I have gone after the microwave pizza that takes up the most space – Bagel Bites. Considering that I had three boxes in my freezer, after this review I will have more room to store my monkey brain soup and pigeon blood cubes (just kiddin’ – or am I?).
I will consolidate today’s review of three different flavors of Bagel Bites into one. Hopefully, this will be the last that I will ever have to talk about this topic. All in the name of Blog Pizza! Do you see what I do for you all! Whoever said running a pizza blog was easy? Ask Adam Kuban over at Slice what his opinion is. He updates several articles a day on top of endless email and comments. It has become a full time job for him. I do not have the time to run a pizza blog full time but I strive my best to make this blog all encompassing – a one stop shop – a place where you can get any kind of information about pizza. So if there is something missing here that we need to discuss, please feel free to let me know. Or if you would like to contribute to this pizza blog with an article or review, just pass it my way for review first. If I like it then presto “una piza di pizza article for you-a.”
Back to my Bagel Bites pizza bagel review. First, let’s talk about Bagel Bites history and profile. Bagel Bites began in 1985 with Bob Mosher and Stan Garcynski. The idea started out with Bob’s catering company where he served pizza bagels as appetizers. His guests loved them so much that he decided to sell them. He sold so much of them the first year that his sales had exceeded $1 million. In 1991, H. J. Heinz, the giant food conglomerate, bought Bagel Bites. Bagel Bites are now popular all over the United States and Canada.
I have tried three different types of Bagel Bites. First, the cheese, sausage, and pepperoni Bagel Bites are mini pizza bagels with cheese, sausage and pepperoni toppings and tomato sauce. Second, the Three Cheese Bagel Bites are mini pizza bagels with mozzarella, cheddar, Monteray Jack Cheeses and tomato sauce. Third, the Cheese and Pepperoni Bagel Bites are mini pizza bagels with cheese and pepperoni toppings and tomato sauce.
All Bagel Bites are promoted as being made with Real cheese; real mini bagels; and 0 grams of trans fat per serving. Each box has 18 mini bagels (about 2 inches in diameter each). Bagel Bites claims to be the official snack of US Youth Soccer (in case you cared). Since my focus was on microwave pizza, keep in mind that all results of this review were based off of a microwaved preparation of this food.
What I liked about the Bagel Bites pizza bagels is the easy preparation and the quickness with which it was cooked. You only have to take off the plastic wrapper and insert the tray that the bagels are already in into the microwave. The box tells you to microwave the pizza bagels for 2 to 2 and half minutes but the fact is that you will need about another minute if you want to cook 1 tray (9 bagels a tray and there is 2 trays in each box). So in total, 1 tray was cooked in about 3 and a half minutes, which is very reasonable in the microwave pizza world. The microwave instructions were the same for all of the different toppings.
Now on to the taste… For a quick little appetizer I don’t think that you can go wrong with Bagel Bites, especially for the kids. But if you are looking for a gourmet pizza or something even half of it then you are looking in the wrong direction. Bagel Bites are fun little bagels to hold you over in between meals. They can be eaten at any time of the day. Since they are so small, it is not difficult to eat a whole tray in less than a few minutes. Actually, to do this review, I ate one tray from all three different toppings and I ate them all in under 10 minutes (closer to 5).
Personally, I liked the Sausage, Cheese, and Pepperoni Bagel Bites the best. You get the most bang for your buck there as you get a wide variety of tastes. The pepperoni and cheese was the same thing except that they took out the sausage. The meat slices on the bagels were very small and bland.
The Three Cheese Bagel Bites were the worst tasting toppings. To be honest the cheedder cheese looked like small drops of mustard. I question the “Realness” of the cheese.
The sauce on the Bagel Bites were miniscule ( I had to dig up my glasses to make sure that it was really in there).
The crust on the Bagel Bites were probably the best part of all of the ingredients for all three toppings. It is hard to explain the reason. The best I can come up with is that it is just fun to eat. This is the signature of this food. You can pop the entire bagel into your mouth in just one bite (thus the name).
Another problem with the pizza bagels is the heavy calorie content. 4 bagels averaged about 220 calories and 60 calories from fat. Considering I ate half of each box – I am looking at about 500 calories a tray times three equals almost 1500 hundred calories for one meal (three trays did the job).
All in all, Bagels Bites are fun, quick, and shouldn’t kill your taste buds. The disadvantages are that they don’t taste great, questionable “Real” cheese, mustard looking cheddar, and unhealthy. Give these pizza bagel Bagel Bites a try and let Blog Pizza know what you think by commenting below on (don’t be shy).

Italian Pizza
Italian Pizza Lovers
Italian pizza is one of the greatest inventions known to man. Just think of all of the happy people that are smiling everyday because of Italian pizza. When people eat pizza they just have to smile. Pizza encourages a happier atmosphere and promotes positive thinking.
What is the point of this post? I just wanted to take time out of my day to show appreciation for Italian pizza. I ate so much of it…I blog about it…I always talk about it…If you are a reader here than obviously you must have some sort of extreme connection with Italian pizzas as well (or you would probably be reading about something else).
Whenever I work too hard or have a bad day… I know that if I want…there is always an Italian pizza just a phone call away. The pizza delivery man is the bringer of good joy (unless you have had similar negative pizza delivery experiences such as mine). In any case, the only thing that bothers me about the Italian pizza experience is the affect after I devour a whole 16 inch pie by myself. I don’t think that anyone in their right mind would feel good then. This is why I have learned to control my appetite…these days I stop eating after half of the box is gone then I give the rest away to someone else (how kind of me – I call this “pizza charity”).
Italian pizza… I owe you and salute you for all of the joyous times that you brought to my life and the billions of others throughout history. In honor of you, I have dedicated this post for all to comment and salute you as well.
If you love Italian pizza then show your love by posting a comment below.
Sincerely,

Slice Pizza | Philadelphia
Slice Pizza Philadelphia
I have just written a pizza review on my Best Philadelphia Pizza Blog for a very popular Philadelphia pizzeria called Slice. Slice ironically doesn’t advertise selling pizza slices instead focusing on their whole pies.
Slice pizza has been honored with many awards since their opening almost three years ago. I have just confirmed that award with a completely positive review of their pizza. Slice pizza has a thin crust Napolitano style pizza slice. The sauce is excellent and the crust is done well. Slice does not have a coal pizza oven but still manages to produce a great pie.
I have ranked them as a green light and an honorary contender for a Philadelphia Best Pizza Award that will be given maybe at the beginning of 2009. Currently, the goal of that pizza blog is to explore all of the so called best Philadelphia pizza joints and confirm who really deserves the title. So go read the review of Slice on Best Philadelphia Pizza Blog!
