If you’re longing for a nostalgic taste from the past or have a party coming up and are looking for a snack that kids and adults alike will love, look no further than these mini pizza bites!
These bring back so many memories! Did anybody else here grow up eating mini pizza bagels from the frozen food aisle? The ones you could so conveniently pop in the oven whenever you had a craving between meals? These bagel pizza bites taste just like them! Perfectly soft pizza balls with the perfect amount of pizza sauce, fiery pepperoni, and lots of melted cheese. Pretty hard to beat!
This little pizza snack is made completely from scratch so obviously, there are a couple more steps involved than in the bagel bites cooking instructions we might remember from our childhood. But trust me, it’s worth it.

INGREDIENTS TO MAKE THIS PIZZA BITES RECIPE
- gluten-free flour – 1:1 all-purpose flour.
- baking powder makes the bagel pizza batter rise without having to add yeast
- Greek yogurt reacts with baking powder to give the bagel batter a rise and make it taste light yet rich
- Italian seasoning and garlic powder add that Italian flavor
- pizza sauce or marinara – homemade is obviously best but store-bought does the job as well
- mozzarella is the classic choice for anything pizza but don’t be shy about trying different kinds. Muenster would be a great choice a well
- pepperoni – to keep these vegetarian add in some sliced mushrooms or olives
WHICH OTHER FILLINGS CAN I USE?
Feel free to skip the pepperoni and add bacon or ham. Alternatively, keep it vegetarian and add thinly-sliced mushrooms, olives, bell peppers, onion, etc.
STORING THE GLUTEN FREE PIZZA BITES
Storage: Store leftover pizza bites in an airtight container or in a plastic zip-lock bag in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds or reheat them in a 375 F oven for 6-8 minutes.
You can also freeze them: Once completely cooled, freeze the pizza bagel bites in a single layer on a baking sheet for 30 minutes. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe plastic bag and store them in the back of your freezer for 2-3 months. Reheat them in the oven at 375 F for 15-20 minutes.
WHAT TO SERVE WITH PIZZA BITES?
I like to serve these fresh out of the air fryer with warmed pizza sauce or marinara for dipping. SO good! You can also dip them in wings sauce, ranch dressing, blue cheese dip, or really any other dipping sauce you enjoy.

Amazing recipe, yum! I just added salt to the dough 👌🏻
Thanks so much for the 5 star review Anita! So glad you liked it!!
Would this dough work to make a regular pizza crust?
Hi Lynn,
I haven’t tried it for pizza crust so I’m not too sure! I think it could potentially work! If you try it let me know!! 🙂
Can this recipe be made with all purpose flour?
Hi Bridget! Yes, it absolutely can!! 🙂
Could you possible make these in the oven? My air fryer stopped working sadly and haven’t gotten a new one yet lol.
Hi Samantha! Yes that would totally work! They may not come out exactly the same but they will definitely still come out great!
These are so good in the air fryer 😋
