PrintHey: You Got Your Pizza in My Bagel
Denver area pizza lovers have a 'hole' lot [Groan —Ed.] to be excited about as Einstein Bros. Bagels cooks up new pizza bagels for its hometown customers.... Einstein Bros. is now offering five Pizza Bagel flavors in 28 Front Range restaurants.
When I was a kid, my sister (who was around 7 at the time) came up with this idea—using Lender's frozen bagels, some Chef Boyardee pizza sauce, and whatever mozzarella we had on hand. She submitted the idea to a local TV station's "create an afterschool snack" contest.
And never heard from the station.
Hey, I thought it was a great idea at the time. These days, you couldn't get me near a hybrid pizza bagel. It just takes the best of two respected traditions and ruins them.
To this I say, Oy vey AND mamma mia! [via "Eater" Ben]

Don't forget Bagel Bites, which put these two together 10, 15 years ago or so.
I can still remember the jingle's haunting refrain:
"Pizza in morning/ Pizza in the evening/ Pizza at suppertime / Now that pizza's on a bagel, you can have pizza anytime."

Oh yeah! Of course. I think those things came out several years after my sister came up with her pizza bagel snack. I was like, "Oh, it wasn't good enough for Channel 41, but it WAS good enough for the nation at large! Hmmph."
I tried some Bagel Bites over Xmas back on the home turf in a pizza-snack sampling marathon. Eh. Totino's Pizza Rolls were better.
