History
Anthony DeMauro invented the pizza bagel in 1957 at Amster's Bagel Bakery (now closed) in South Euclid, a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. It was not until May 26, 1970, when Amster Pizza Bagel, Inc. submitted registration for Pizza Bagels to the US Copyright Office.[1] On October 1, 1970, Amster Pizza Bagel, Inc. registered for a product that contains 6 frozen pizza bagels in folding cartons with a net weight of Template:Convert.[2]
In 1974, at a Western Bagel in Woodland Hills, California, 17-year-old store clerk Bruce Treitman began offering a flattened bagel with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese.[3][4]
In early 2014, Katz Bagel Bakery in Chelsea, Massachusetts, claimed that Harry Katz invented a variation of this pizza bagel in 1970.[5] Unlike traditional pizza bagels, Katz's version is similar to a miniature pizza. Katz uses bagel dough without the hole, topped with cheese and tomato sauce.[4][6]
Commercial distribution
The Bagel Bites brand was inspired by the pizza bagel. Bagel Bites are a miniature, frozen version of the pizza bagel sold in commercial grocery stores.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Other uses
The term "pizza bagel" also means a person of Italian and Jewish descent.[7] This is likely because pizza is a dish of Italian origin, and bagels are of Ashkenazi Jewish origin.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
