  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 nine and- 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’.

  If I were to eat one, I'd cut off a very tiny slice. That's like 400 calories already?

  Why do fast food companies keep making food hybrids.
  Why can't they just start branch into other foods.
  
  Like pizza hut making pasta and subs.
  You don't see them making pasta topped pizzas.

  I use to work in burger king 2 years ago(and I live in NY)
  
  I'm going to assume they just have it frozen and then they microwave it or put it through flame broiler when they need to just like everything else .-.
