Hey: You Got Your Pizza in My Bagel

Posted by Adam Kuban, April 4, 2007 at 2:36 PM

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, Sis Slice (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!

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."

OMG! That's so depressing, that's the only good pizza in Colorado?

rockymountainmarta: I'm sure there are better pizza options in Colorado. It's just that Slice hasn't really explored the state all that much lately. If you know of any great places, chime in!
