Ingredients and Substitutions
- Bagels. I like full-sized bagels but the best thing about this recipe is you can use gluten-free bagels, mini bagels, or any bagel you prefer. No bagel? No problem. English muffins, naan bread or tortillas would be yummy substitutions.
- Pizza Sauce. Use any sauce you have at home or use a pizza sauce. I also love using leftover Italian Pasta Sauce or vodka sauce.
- Mini pepperonis. Top these little pizzas with your favorite toppings like pepperoni, sausage, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, or mushrooms.

How to Make Air Fryer Pizza Bagels
- Step 1: Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F and place the bagels in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes.
- Step 2: Add sauce, cheese and your toppings to each bagel half. Place the bagels back in the air fryer and cook for 4-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Serve and enjoy!
Sarah's Top Tips
- I recommend building from sauce up. Nothing makes a pizza like the sauce you use.
- Homemade bagel pizzas become soggy after 15 minutes so I would serve and enjoy them immediately.
- Add red pepper flakes for a spice kick.
- Make them in the oven instead. These homemade pizza bagels can easily be cooked oven-style. Bake them at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
Serving
These air fryer bagel pizzas are a great way to kick off your next party and see how much your guests love them. Make it fun for the kids and do a 'make your own' night. They love it and guess what? You get a break!
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce like ranch, garlic butter or extra sauce!
Storage & Reheating
Store pizza bagels in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or wrap them tightly and store in the freezer for 3 months. The best way to reheat is to bake the bagels in the air fryer at 375 degrees F for 3-4 minutes. If frozen, microwave for 3 minutes before baking.
