Pizza or burger or baarrfff...

Have it BOTH ways: Burger King's 2,500 calorie answer to that age-old take-away dilemma - pizza or burgers?

By Sophie Freeman


For the discerning fastfood fan, it is the trickiest of dilemmas: pizza or burger? But a leading burger chain has resolved the issue once and for all with the ‘Pizza Burger’.

Containing some 2,520 calories, the Burger King offering consists of a beefburger the size of four of the chain’s Whoppers.

It is arranged like a pizza and placed on a nineand- a-half-inch sesame seed bun.



Topped with pepperoni, mozzarella and Tuscan pesto and marinara sauce, it is even helpfully cut into six slices, so that the snack looks and feels like a pizza.

But gluttons beware: the Pizza Burger contains 144g of fat, 59g of which is saturated – the equivalent of 29 rashers of bacon.

If that’s not enough to put you off, it contains 3,780mg of salt – more than double the 1,600mg daily limit for adults.

To put the snack into context, it would take a four-hour jog to work it off and is equivalent to more than the entire daily calorie allowance for a man or a woman.

One of the chain’s oldf ashioned Whopper burgers seems almost healthy by comparison, delivering 670 calories and 40g of fat, 11g of which is saturated.

Perhaps fortunately for British waistlines, the Pizza Burger will be available exclusively at Burger King’s Whopper Bar in New York’s Times Square from September.

Costing $13, or £8.40, the meal will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, according to Burger King vice-president John Schaufelberger, who added that it is intended as a homage to its New York home.

He emphasised that the Pizza Burger meal was intended to be shared.

But he did admit that it ‘demonstrates the type of menu offerings our guests can expect’.

No, but the toy that comes with the meal is a personal defibrillator!

Interesting idea there Joe, unfortunately though even statins are not without side effects.
