Bagel Bites are a snack type pizza bagel.

Bagel Bites were invented by Stanley Garczynski of Fort Myers, Florida and then later sold to a major food producer. It is currently owned by Heinz via the Ore Ida brand. The mini-bagels are topped with cheese and other pizza toppings. Bagel Bites are available in six flavors: Cheese & Pepperoni; Three Cheese; Cheese, Sausage & Pepperoni; Mozzarella Cheese; Supreme; and Spicy Nacho (sold only in Canada). Bagel Bites are manufactured in Southwest Florida.

Bagel Bites also markets Stuffed Bagel Bites, which consists of the toppings on the inside of the bagel dough crust. The stuffed snacks are available in Pepperoni & Cheese and Three Cheese. Preparation of Bagel Bites involves either a microwave or an oven.

During the 1990s, Bagel Bites ran a television commercial, most popular during children's programming, featuring the jingle:

“	Pizza in the morning, Pizza in the evenin', Pizza at suppertime! When pizza's on a bagel, You can eat pizza anytime!	”
