What Is a Pizza Burger?

A pizza burger, sometimes called a burger pizza or pizzaburger, is a hybrid bake that combines the two best elements of both dishes in a single dough. One half of each roll is closed and filled like a cheeseburger and the other is topped like a pizza.

How to Make a Pizza Burger from Scratch

The key to this homemade pizza burger is the dough. Unlike a regular pizza base, this dough is enriched with olive oil and honey, giving it a soft texture. Once the dough has risen, you roll it out, cut it into eight pieces, and fill each one with the ground beef mixture and cheddar. You fold and roll the burger half tightly, leave the pizza half open, top it with tomato sauce and vegetables, and let it rise one more time before baking at 200 °C (400 °F) for 12–15 minutes. The pizza burger recipe with ground beef is straightforward. Just make sure the meat has cooled completely before filling.

Tips

Let the meat cool fully before filling. Warm ground beef softens the dough and makes it difficult to roll tightly.

Don’t roll the dough too thin. Thick enough dough holds the filling and gives you that soft, fluffy interior after baking.

Rest after baking. Let the pizza burgers cool for a few minutes before eating. The cheese firms up slightly and the rolls are much easier to handle.

Fold the top and bottom edges of the dough partially over the filling. Roll it up tightly from the side with the filling. Pinch the seams so the filling cannot escape. Leave the remaining side for the pizza topping.
