How To Serve Pizza Bagels
These little pizzas can be served as either a light dinner or snacks on the go which makes them so convenient. Serve them by themselves or along side with a nice big chef salad with lots of chopped vegetables. Caesar Salad would be great too. Roasted vegetables would be a great addition too.
