You can find the full printable recipe, including ingredient quantities, below. But first, here are some explanations of ingredients and steps to help you make this recipe perfect every time.
- Mini bagels — Look at the ingredients on your bag to make sure yours are dairy-free and egg-free. Mine came in a bag of 10 mini bagels, and this recipe uses only 8 of them. You can use the leftovers to make some other tasty snack!
- Pizza sauce — You can buy this at the store or add tomato paste to marinara sauce to thicken it.
- Vegan pepperoni — You can find vegan pepperoni slices at most health food stores. You may also be able to find it in the health food section of your grocery store. You can also make homemade vegan pepperoni. It will make much more than you need, but you can freeze the leftovers.
- Vegan mozzarella — We use either Daiya or Follow Your Heart vegan mozzarella shreds when we’re making pizza. But there are plenty of brands to try out. Find which one you like best!

Frequently-Asked Questions
Are bagels vegan?
Most bagels are vegan, but some do include milk. Make sure you look at the ingredients when you’re buying bagels to ensure they’re made without milk.
What are some vegan pizza toppings?
There are many plant-based pizza toppings, including pepperoni, sausage, and, of course, veggies. You can use storebought vegan meat (some require precooking before adding to your pizza) or make them homemade. Either way, you can serve very flavorful vegan pizza with all your favorite toppings!
What to Serve with Pizza Bagel Bites
You can serve pizza bagel bites fresh out of the oven. Of course, you’ll need to give them a few minutes to cool, but we love the crispy texture when they’re served warm.
Here are some delicious ways to serve your vegan bagel bites:
- Sauces — You may want to dip those toasty bites in some sauce. Our favorites include marinara sauce, vegan cheesy sauce, walnut pesto sauce, or vegan ranch dip sauce.
- Dips — Every meal is better with an appetizer. That’s where this vegan pepperoni pizza dip comes in. It’s ready in minutes and so good, too!
- Herbs — Chop up some fresh herbs to serve on top. The best herbs for pizza are basil, oregano, thyme, and parsley.
- Parmesan — If you love to sprinkle some parmesan on your pizza, you can buy store-bought varieties or make your own homemade vegan parmesan. When I’m in a hurry, I’ll add nutritional yeast flakes and salt to some ground almond meal and I’m good to go!
- Salads — There’s no doubt that salads are perfect when paired with pizza. You can’t go wrong with this Plant-Based Caesar Salad or this Massaged Kale Salad.
Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. To reheat, place them in an oven or toaster oven and cook until heated through and the edges are golden brown. You can also freeze bagel bites. Transfer them to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 2 months. Place them in the fridge overnight to thaw, or use the defrost setting on your microwave. Once thawed, cook in a toaster oven until heated through.
