Paternity tests show this is a burger’s baby, pizza will be awarded child support and if you eat a few of these you may need life support.

After the breadless fried masterpiece that was KFC’s Double Down and it’s cousin the Fried Chicken Luther Double Down Sandwich, Burger’s King aims to maintain their crown by taking husbandry to new heights with The Pizza Burger.

Clocking in at a whopping 2,500 calories this burger will be exclusively introduced at Burger King’s Whopper Bar in Times Square, New York. Mr Schaufelberger claims the burger is a homage to New York, the home of Burger King…coincidentally that’s where the tourists are.

This burger features a 9.5 inch patty and bun, and comes sliced like a pizza, with pepperoni, mozzarella, Tuscan pesto and marinara sauce.

Who in their “right mind” is going to share this? Most likely it will be initially wholly eaten in front of friends as a dare with photos to be posted on Facebook, then eaten alone in a car by the side of the road with a healthy dose of shame on the side.
