About Us

Jim Burgardt (Founder & Owner), would like to welcome you to his latest restaurant venture Pizagel's Pizza & Bakery.  Starting with the business's name change, retooling it's floor space and menu, adding a bar with wine and beer on tap, adding multiple TV's, and extending their hours... he has transformed Bagel Express (which first opened it's doors in 1994), into Topeka's BEST Pizzeria and Bakery Cafe.  The new name is a play off the restaurant’s two featured menu items – pizza and bagels.

The bakery side of the business is open throughout the day, so customers can order a bagel or espresso day or night. Customers can enjoy the bagels, espresso drinks, free Wi-Fi and low-key relaxing atmosphere. Pizza is available by the slice or by the pie from lunch and on into the evening hours.
