Pizza Burgers combine the best of both worlds, blending the rich, cheesy deliciousness of pizza and juicy satisfaction of a burger in one tasty creation!
What’s in a pizza burger?
Our burgers feature pepperoni that’s been chopped up, savoury pizza sauce, plus a few herbs and spices mixed with ground beef providing an undeniably tasty pizza flavoured burger. For umami we add in some grated Parmesan cheese to seal the deal.
If a burger and pizza had a baby
Pizza burgers, a mouthwatering fusion of two beloved comfort foods, typically feature a seasoned beef patty topped with sauteed mushrooms, melted mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil, or lettuce, all nestled between two toasted buns.
We make these pizza burgers whenever we are entertaining as they are always a hit. Also fun to make a couple days before you go camping, freeze and bring them along for a delightful camping meal that will make other campers jealous.
Pizza burger sides
We serve these juicy burgers with a side of fried mushrooms, (or on top). French fries or hashbrowns, a green salad, or a delightful tomato salad.
These pizza burgers are featured on Food Network Canada’s website in 2018.

Marty is going to Santa Fe, NM.to check out a burger that was on Oprah’s Top 20 list. Did your Dad ever tell you he’s been to Pittsburg, New York and Connecticut to name a few places that are on the list? Last April we even drove to Edmonton so he could check on one he had heard about from a co-worker. I visited with my friend Barb while marty and my grandson wwent to see about the burger.
