About
As of 2026, it's 41 years old.
Bagel Bites answered the only question that matters to a hungry kid: can I have pizza for breakfast and call it acceptable? Mini bagels topped with sauce and cheese, they made their case via a jingle so effective people can still chant it — 'pizza in the morning, pizza in the evening, pizza at supper time.'
Microwave or bake, they became the after-school freezer staple of the '90s, beloved for being pizza that's been quietly rebranded as a snack.
Cheesy, bite-sized, and available at any hour the jingle permits, Bagel Bites is the loophole that lets pizza count as breakfast.
