Absolutely! Grilling adds a smoky flavor that pairs well with the pizza toppings.
A sturdy bun like brioche or ciabatta works well to hold all the toppings.
We like to serve these burgers with french fries, onion rings, or a fresh green salad.

Ingredients Needed
- Ground beef– I used 80/20 beef.
- Breadcrumbs
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Dried oregano
- Dried basil
- Garlic powder
- Salt
- Pepper
- Hamburger buns – I used Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse Brioche buns.
- Pizza sauce – I used a store bought sauce, but homemade pizza sauce works great too.
- Mozzarella cheese – Provolone cheese slices can be used instead.
- Pepperoni slices – regular or turkey pepperoni are both great
Substitutions
Ground Beef: substitute with ground turkey, or ground chicken instead.
Mozzarella Cheese: Use provolone or a blend of Italian cheeses.
Pepperoni: Replace with Canadian bacon or sautéed mushrooms for a different twist.
Pizza Burgers are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
To Reheat: Place the burger patties in a skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally until heated through. Or microwave on high for 1-2 minutes until hot.
To Freeze: It’s recommended to freeze the cooked patties separately from the buns and toppings. Reheat as directed and assemble just before serving.
How to Make Pizza Burgers
- In a large bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, garlic powder, egg, salt, and pepper.
- Form the mixture into 2 equal-sized patties.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach desired doneness.
- During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with 2 slices of mozzarella cheese and 4 slices of pepperoni.
- Toast the hamburger buns lightly. Spread pizza sauce on the bottom half of each bun.
- Place the cooked paLes on the buns and add the top bun and serve immediately.
Note: Leftover pizza sauce can be served on the side for dipping.
