Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Place the tortillas onto 2 rimmed baking sheets. (Or spread out the bagel halves, English muffin halves or tortillas.)
Top each with pizza sauce, spreading just to the edges, and the mozzarella, Parmesan and any desired toppings. (If using homemade pizza dough, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and spread the dough out on a cornmeal dusted baking sheet or pizza stone. Top with the pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown.)
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until warmed through and the cheese is just golden brown.
Serve warm, slicing up into wedges.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat on a plate in the microwave for 30 seconds or heat through in a 375-degree-F oven for 4-6 minutes.
Or, warm in a toaster oven. Or, warm in 15- to 30-second increments on a heat-safe plate in the microwave. Or, warm in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes at 350 degrees F.
If using homemade pizza dough, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and spread the dough out on a cornmeal-dusted baking sheet or pizza stone. Top with the pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
If using homemade pizza dough, plan to make it at least two hours before you want to use it.
If using bagels, thaw them first.
Use jarred, canned, or homemade pizza sauce. Or, try pesto.
