Toasted buns topped with ground beef, pizza sauce, cheese and any of your favorite pizza toppings like mushrooms, onions, bacon etc. This was one of the first meals I made when I left my parents house and I am still making it 40 years later. It is a very kid friendly meal because you can put only the items they like on individual pizza burgers. I even ask them what kind of cheese they want which keeps everyone happy!

  1. Of all the food blogs I have read, yours out to be the best not for the niceness in the pictures and delicacy in recipes. I love the pictures as they are very clear thus, making me salivate. Ooooh! How I wish I could access them right away.

  14. Something I love about your recipes is you take pretty well known commonly beloved foods and recreate them into something unique and fun!! I always think “How is this not a common thing?!”. I just love this idea! I bet I could substitute the burger meat with some vegan meat and keep the regular around for the husband. Thanks for sharing, Diane! Hope you are well.

  15. This was a go-to meal in our house when I was growing up. Every Saturday during the late fall and winter, my mom made these for dinner. I loved these!!! We lost the recipe over the years and now I have it again. Thank you Diane!!

  24. Pizza burgers, what a cracking idea.

    Definitely one for my “single man’s cooking” collection. I’d like to try it with my own home-made pizza sauce, it would be a good way to use up the leftover which I always seem to have.

  31. it should read Italian pizza oven not over but no white letter remain on old key board so must change it now. Pizza comes from the Arab Moors who created the cities of Venice and built Al Hambra Palace in Granada Spain in 11th century Pizza in Arab is suc avien meaning flat oven bottom. It was adopted by Italian traders in 15th century and the British in 1602 cooked it for troops fighting the Dutch wars. My oven is made of soap stone base and insulated heavy metal lid over the base with elements in that heat. Called Ferrari by Geno Venice made .can buy on internet for under 150 pounds .it really bakes and crusts home made or even bought pizza or home bake bread . Buns and bacon sandwhich goes well in it too.

  35. you are a bleeping genius! Hi there. I am going around the neighborhood introducing myself. My name is Marc. My blog contains excerpts from my book The Driveway Rules. It contains memoirs about growing up with undiagnosed autism. I hope you stop by.
