90s School Lunch Favorite: Pizza Burgers | Tara the Foodie

This was my FAVORITE school lunch back in the 90s when I was a high school student. This cheesy, pizza-flavored sloppy-Joe-like mixture baked on top of a crispy hamburger bun. Which makes for an amazing Pizza Burger, recreating this simple and fun recipe from my past!

This authentic recipe is literally taken straight from the lunch ladies that cooked at my high school back in the early 90s - it is legit! It was the coolest thing making these in my own test kitchen and to taste these delicious pizza burgers again after so many years. This recipe is a guaranteed hit!

Omg! I think you found the recipe I've been looking for for the last 40 some odd yrs. Not even kidding! I graduated in 1972. Everybody loved those yucky boloney laden half sandwiches! I can't thank you enough for sharing your recipe!! Am going to try these again to see if I still like ithem. God bless!

Our pizza burgers were burgers with marinara/spaghetti sauce and cheese. N they were greasy n amazing. I been wanting a pizza burger since!! Theres a few other food items from the school cafeteria that i have been wanting to eat again as well.

[marilynfisher]

Thanks so much! I graduated in 78 and this is how my lunch ladies made these! With bologna…..

[ttocselbag]

High school victuals. This is taking me all the way back to the ‘70s. Yeah baby!!😵‍💫🤪😈

[deanvoss]

I made these last night and I used ground up spam instead and they were excellent❤

[scentualobsessions]

The things they did back in the day to cut cost by using chopped bologna and our pizza burgers I would have never have known, but they are so delicious

[brianshull]

Every school made pizza burgers different from the next. The school I went to used about 75% ground beef and 25% ground pork and then Hunts tomato sauce with added spices and herbs.
I use a mixture of beef, pork and chicken and homemade tomato sauce.
I will need to try your recipe soon.

[nunyabidnis]

I remember ours were on a English muffin with a slice of American cheese melted on top.

[yolandagrabowski]

I love the taste of dill weed in all my Italian food especially. And cinnamon.

[JamesJonesReverendJ]

Almost the same as St. Stanislaus Elementary in Bay City, MI....except our lunch ladies put a slice of White Processed Cheese on top

[jeffmabry]

They didn’t have pizza burgers at the high school where I attended in the early 1990s.

[toyairy]

They server these in the 60's as well

[jasonbrannon]

Looks good but did I miss something? Shouldn't ant variation of pizza have some cheese?

[susanfronk]

Can you make this recipe without the bologna?
