The Works Cheeseburger Pizza is a simple to prepare recipe loaded with all the fixings, including lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and onions.
The Works Cheeseburger Pizza is an easy recipe that fuses two of my favorite dishes; hamburgers and pizza!
It comes fully loaded with all the fixings of a traditional restaurant burger.
This concoction has tons of flavor and is perfect for a quick weekend dinner.

The best part about our cheeseburger pizza is definitely the taste.
We used a blend of ketchup and yellow mustard as the sauce.
When you take a bite, the sauce is what hits your taste buds first.
The sweetness of the ketchup balances well with the tart flavor of the mustard.
Another aspect of the cheeseburger pizza that we love is the hamburger meat.
The dish uses 85/15 ground beef, so there is just enough fat content to keep the meat rich and savory.
The Italian seasoning blend and Seasoned salt work in harmony to enhance the overall burger and pizza fusion.
Fresh vegetables add another layer of texture to the cheeseburger pizza.
You have the chewy crust on the bottom and the satisfying crunch of lettuce, onions, pickles, and tomatoes.
I doubt you will find another pizza like this one at your local pizza parlor.
All in all, this has to be one of my favorite pizzas to make at home. Especially, if you use our pizza dough recipe, it's chewy and delicious!
The simplicity of the meal makes it a great dinner option for pizza night. Clocking in at less than an hour to prepare, it's almost as fast as delivery.
I hope you decide to try this recipe out for yourself. As always, I wish you a long life, love everlasting, and a full belly!

Thank you, Amanda! I was thinking the same thing about it being a good picnic pizza lol. That's why I didn't include mayonnaise in the pizza sauce. Thank you again for commenting and have a lovely Wednesday!

I am a sucker for a good cheese burger...and combining pizza and a burger just sounds like a genius idea. I will have to try this soon!

Thank you, Cassidy! We started eating cheeseburger pizzas a long time ago. A local pizza parlor in Northwest Arkansas offered a cheeseburger pizza that was divine. However, since we have moved, we have been unable to find it anywhere. So, we decided to start making them at home and the rest is history, as they say. Thanks again for commenting and have a great day 🙂
