Ingredients:

For the Pizza Dough (or use store-bought):

  • 3 ½ cups (440g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) instant yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) warm water
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

For the Cheeseburger Filling:

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tbsp ketchup

For the Burger Sauce:

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped pickles or relish
  • 1 tsp vinegar or pickle juice
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp paprika

For Assembly:

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup sliced pickles
  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2–3 pizza crusts (homemade or store-bought, 10–12 inches each)
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for topping)
  • Olive oil, for brushing

Instructions:

1. Make the Dough (if homemade)

In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy. Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms, then knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

2. Prepare the Cheeseburger Filling

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, mustard, ketchup, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until well combined. Set aside to cool slightly.

3. Make the Burger Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together all burger sauce ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning. Refrigerate until ready to use.

4. Pre-Bake the Pizza Crusts

Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Roll out your pizza dough into 10–12 inch rounds. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets and bake each crust for 5–7 minutes until lightly golden but not fully crisp. Let cool slightly.

5. Assemble the Pizza Stack

Place one crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread a thin layer of burger sauce, then top with half the beef mixture, a handful of mozzarella and cheddar, and a few pickle slices and red onion rings.

Top with a second crust and repeat the layers: sauce, beef, cheese, pickles, onion.

Place the final crust on top. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds to mimic a burger bun.

6. Final Bake

Bake the assembled stack at 425°F (220°C) for 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the top is golden and crisp. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

7. Serve

Slice into wedges and serve with extra burger sauce on the side for dipping. Garnish with shredded lettuce or chopped tomatoes if desired for a full burger experience.


Tips for Success:

  • Use pre-baked crusts or naan for a shortcut.
  • Add cooked bacon or jalapeños for extra flavor.
  • For a vegetarian version, use plant-based ground meat and vegan cheese.
  • Make mini stacks using smaller crusts for individual servings.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve with crispy fries or onion rings for the ultimate diner-style meal.
  • Pair with a cold soda, milkshake, or craft beer.
  • Add a side salad to balance the richness.
