Burgers placed between two pizzas are known as homemade pizza burgers. How frighteningly insane does this sound? Whether you like pizza or burgers, you’ll find something to eat here.
The History of the Original Pizza Burger
After World War II was over in 1945, two childhood friends, Paul De Angelis and Father Russ McGregory, decided to go into the restaurant business. They purchased an old custard drive-in in Muskego, Wisconsin, and that was just the beginning.
The two friends looked for a way to increase the success of their work, and that’s how Pizza-Burger was born! The partners sold their popular sandwich all across the United States and parts of Canada. In 1953, the Pizza Burger became a national trademark!
What to Serve with Pizza Burgers?
There are so many yummy options to serve pizza burgers with, and they can be eaten on their own.
My favorite way to serve these pizza burger patties is with Caesar Pasta Salad. Another great choice is to serve with grilled corn or with Parmesan-garlic sweet potato fries. It can also be served with a classic potato salad.
