Deep Pan Cheeseburger

What is it?

Beef, cheese, gherkins, and burger-style sauce sit on a thick deep pan pizza base, so it borrows the flavour cues of a cheeseburger without turning into one. Sold as a frozen meal from Iceland, it needs oven baking from frozen until the crust is cooked through and the topping is hot. Compared with standard cheese or meat pizzas in the range, this one leans on sharper, more savoury burger toppings and a softer, doughier centre. The gherkins bring acidity, while the sauce and cheese keep it in familiar takeaway territory.
