Here in New York, we LOVE our pizza and we LOVE our bagels. Both are truly pillars of NYC’s food culture, but there aren’t enough places where we can meet in the middle.
If you grew up on Bagel Bites, H&H Bagels and Emmett’s came together to create an adult version for National Pizza Day this year!
H&H Bagels, a New York City institution since 1972, has announced a new exciting partnership with Emmett’s, the popular Chicago-style pizza brand renowned for bringing authentic Chicago deep-dish and tavern-style pies to New York, to create a limited-edition pizza bagel in celebration of National Pizza Day on February 9.
Fusing their New York and Chicago roots to create an indulgent bite, both pizza and bagel enthusiasts will crave this treat. It starts with a premium H&H everything bagel, topped with parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, jalapeno, pepperoni, and fresh tomato sauce, then topped with Mike’s Hot Honey. The end product resembles Emmett’s top-selling signature “Hot Girl” pie.
“This partnership is a fun twist on a nostalgic classic, showcasing the versatility of our bagels,” said Jay Rushin, Chief Executive Officer of H&H Bagels. “Emmett’s shares many of our same values in terms of quality products, excellent service, and using the freshest ingredients. With the upcoming opening of our first Chicago location in 2024, this collaboration was a no brainer!”
“Collaborating with a New York institution like H&H Bagels is both a huge honor and a meaningful milestone for Emmett’s after recently commemorating our 10th anniversary as a brand,” said Emmett Burke, Emmett’s Owner. “It’s a thrill to experiment with new ways to make our signature pies, and to execute this with a partner that mirrors our ethos of pairing tradition and quality ingredients to create a final dish is as delicious as it is memorable.”
The limited-edition pizza bagels will only be available from Friday, February 9, through Sunday, February 11, exclusively at H&H Bagels’ Upper East Side and Upper West Side locations.
