The combination of seasoned ground beef, cheddar cheese, crisp shredded lettuce, dill pickles, onions, and homemade Big Mac sauce is what gives this pizza its unmistakable flavor. Instead of baking the fresh toppings, they’re added after the pizza comes out of the oven so the lettuce stays crisp, the pickles keep their crunch, and every bite tastes just like your favorite burger.

One of the best things about this Big Mac Pizza recipe is that it works with almost any pizza dough. Whether you’re making homemade pizza dough from scratch or grabbing one from the grocery store, the burger toppings pair well with a variety of crusts.

• Sourdough pizza dough adds a slight tang that pairs perfectly with the burger toppings.
• Gluten-free pizza dough is a great option if you need a gluten-free meal without sacrificing flavor.
• Store-bought pizza doughis perfect for busy weeknights and makes this recipe quick and easy.

No matter which dough you choose, bake the crust until it’s golden brown before adding the fresh toppings for the best texture.

A few simple tips will help you get the best flavor and texture every time.

• Cook and drain the ground beef well. Excess grease can make the pizza soggy, so drain the beef before adding it to the crust.
• Shred the lettuce finely. Thinly shredded iceberg lettuce gives the pizza that classic Big Mac texture and is easier to eat in every bite.
• Bake the fresh toppings separately from the pizza. Add the lettuce, pickles, onions, and Big Mac sauce after baking so they stay crisp and fresh.
• Don’t overload the crust. Spreading the toppings evenly helps the pizza cook more consistently and makes it easier to slice.
• Let the pizza cool for 2 to 3 minutes. Giving the cheese a minute to set makes slicing much cleaner before adding the fresh toppings.
• Use freshly shredded cheddar cheese. It melts smoother than pre-shredded cheese and gives the pizza a creamier texture.

• Start by mixing together the homemade Big Mac sauce, then refrigerate it while you prepare the pizza.
• Stretch your pizza dough into your desired size and drizzle it lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt before adding half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Evenly distribute the cooked ground beef over the cheese, then finish with the remaining cheddar.
• Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Once it comes out of the oven, drizzle on some of the Big Mac sauce before topping it with shredded iceberg lettuce, diced onions, and sliced pickles. Finish with another drizzle of sauce, slice, and serve immediately while the crust is still hot and the toppings are crisp.

This homemade Big Mac Pizza is easy to customize with your favorite burger toppings.

• Swap the ground beef for ground turkey for a lighter version that still delivers plenty of flavor.
• Use a gluten-free pizza dough to make this recipe gluten-free.
• Add crispy bacon for a bacon cheeseburger pizza twist.
• Top with diced tomatoes for a little freshness and color.
• Sprinkle sesame seeds around the crust before baking for a nod to the classic sesame seed bun.
• Add sliced jalapeños if you like a little heat with your burgers.
• Try pepper jack cheese for a spicy variation instead of cheddar.
• Double the homemade Big Mac sauce and serve extra on the side for dipping your pizza crust.

• Big Mac Pizza is best enjoyed fresh since the lettuce and sauce are added after baking. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• For the best results, remove the lettuce and pickles before storing if possible. Reheat the pizza in a 350°F oven, air fryer, or skillet until warmed through, then add fresh lettuce, pickles, onions, and an extra drizzle of Big Mac sauce before serving.
• While you can freeze the baked pizza without the fresh toppings for up to 2 months, I recommend adding fresh lettuce, pickles, and sauce after reheating for the best texture and flavor.
