The Double Cheeseburger Pizza Stack is a mouthwatering fusion of two all-time favorites—juicy cheeseburgers and cheesy pizza. It combines layers of savory ground beef, melted cheese, tangy sauce, and golden pizza crusts to create a flavor-packed, indulgent meal perfect for parties, family dinners, or satisfying big appetites. This recipe delivers the best of both worlds—crispy crust, gooey cheese, and the unmistakable taste of a double cheeseburger in every bite.
Ingredients
- 2 large pizza bases (store-bought or homemade)
- 500g ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup pizza sauce or ketchup
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 6 slices of burger cheese
- 1 cup sliced pickles
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- ½ cup shredded lettuce (optional)
- 1 tsp oregano
- ½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
- 1 tbsp mustard sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a skillet, heat olive oil and cook chopped onion until translucent. Add ground beef, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until the beef is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
- Place one pizza base on a baking tray. Spread half of the pizza sauce evenly. Add a layer of cooked beef, then top with mozzarella, cheddar, and burger cheese slices. Sprinkle oregano and chili flakes. Add a few pickle slices and tomato pieces.
- Place the second pizza base over the top, spread remaining sauce, add the rest of the beef and cheese mixture, and repeat the layering. Bake for 15–20 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly. Remove from oven, let cool slightly, then top with shredded lettuce and drizzle mustard if desired. Slice and serve hot.

Notes
You can use any type of pizza crust such as thin, thick, or stuffed based on your preference. Replace ground beef with chicken or plant-based mince for variation. For a smoky flavor, grill the cooked beef slightly before layering it. Always let the pizza rest for 5 minutes before slicing to keep the layers intact.
Tips
Use freshly shredded cheese for better melt and flavor. Adding a small amount of Worcestershire sauce to the beef enhances the burger taste. Brush the top crust with melted butter and herbs before baking for extra crispiness. Always bake on the middle rack for even cooking.
Health Benefits
This pizza stack offers a good source of protein from the beef and cheese, providing essential amino acids for muscle strength. Tomatoes and onions add antioxidants and vitamins. When enjoyed in moderation, this dish delivers satisfying energy and nutrients. Using lean meat and whole-wheat crust can make it a balanced comfort meal.
