This takes the idea of the pizza bagel in a whole new direction! Oven Pizza Burgers replace the bagel with a hamburger bun and then bring in the juicy, savory hamburger just to add to the deliciousness. But Oven Pizza Burgers don’t skimp out on the pizza, bringing in the melty cheese and sweet tomato sauce for literally the best of both worlds. Oven Pizza Burgers can be eaten as an indulgent meal on their own or as a hearty snack, but either way, they will simply wow you!
