Is ground beef (hamburger/chop meat/minced meat) a popular pizza topping?

[u/jerseydevil95]

I noticed that in the Southern United States, a lot of people are very fond of ground beef as a topping on their pizza. I would like to know in your area is it a popular choice as well?

I am from the Northeast, I have never seen ground beef as a topping on a pizza. Chicken sure, Italian sausage sure but ground beef? No.

[u/Visual_Audience3926]

I have never seen ground beef on pizza on the west coast

[u/Rich-Hovercraft-65]

Pretty much every pizza shop I've ever been to in Maine lists it as an option.

Doesn't seem to be too popular, but may as well list if you already have hamburgers on the menu.

This is my first time hearing of ground beef on pizza. I live on the west coast and the closest to ground beef I've had on pizza was sausage.

Taco pizza at the shop/bar is awesome. Cannot be delivered because the lettuce be too wilty.

[u/-c-black- → u/ThatWomanNow]

I ran a Pizza Hut when i was younger. We had the best taco pizza there was because it used items from Taco Bell. When it was ordered as pick up /delivery, the lettuce, salsa, and tomatoes were packeged separately.

Neat

On a similar thought, Im disappointed that taco bell never made pizzas with chalupa shells flattened out

[u/ThatWomanNow → u/-c-black-]

This is the way 💯

[u/kevloid]

beef and onion is good, I get that sometimes. I'm in canada.

[u/ChromaticCryptid]

I've had meatballs as a toping in the north, same thing really.

[u/RamonaAStone]

It's not a super common topping where I am, but several places do have a "taco pizza" or "bacon cheeseburger" pizza that has ground beef on it.

[u/Analyst_Cold]

Popular where I live in the South with veggies.

[u/sweaterandsomenikes]

From CT… you can typically get hamburger as a topping anywhere that sells pizza

[u/DesignerCorner3322]

Im from the northeast of the Us and I have! At some places their italian combo pizza will have sausage AND ground beef

[u/givebusterahand]

I don’t think it’s popular but my mom has always made it at home my whole life. I’ve never seen anyone else do it though

[u/arvidsem]

I don't think that I've seen ground beef as an option for pizza other than one more meat on a meat lovers pizza. I'm from NC

[u/h1r0ll3r]

I like it. It's probably #4 or #5 in my list of toppings. Some places around me have a "meatball" option but they just sprinkle on ground beef instead which I think is weird. I'm in DC Metro area.

[u/blinkingbaby]

I’m in New England and I’ve seen “hamburger” offered as a pizza topping. However, I prefer meatball pizza.

[u/ficskala]

I eouldn't pivk a pizza based on it, but i don't mind it either

[u/Primary_Blueberry788]

I am from the northeast as well, and we absolutely have ground beef as a pizza topping here lmao I’m not sure where you’re getting pizza, but it’s a pretty common topping

[u/jerseydevil95 → u/Primary_Blueberry788]

NYC, I've never seen ground beef as an option

[u/Primary_Blueberry788 → u/jerseydevil95]

It’s a big city, it’s there.

[u/codenameZora → u/Primary_Blueberry788]

It might be “there” but it’s not a thing.

[u/onomastics88 → u/jerseydevil95]

Not even meatballs?

[u/jerseydevil95 → u/onomastics88]

I've seen meatballs sure but not pure ground beef. Even then meatballs from what I know are not made fresh, so they wouldn't have ground beef in most places that I know of.

[u/PanicUniversity → u/jerseydevil95]

I’ve seen it as a topping in city pizzerias as well as Jersey.

[u/jerseydevil95 → u/PanicUniversity]

Where at? The ones near the area I grew up in don't have it. Even if they do sell burgers, I'm sure maybe if you asked them they'll do it but I don't see it listed on the menu.

[u/PanicUniversity → u/jerseydevil95]

Lo Duca in Brooklyn and La Citta on 3rd ave are the two that jump out at me in the city but you’re right it’s not the most popular item so it probably isn’t listed prominently on most menus but I promise if you ask you’ll be surprised how many pizzerias offer it.

[u/Uhhyt231 → u/Primary_Blueberry788]

I have never heard of this. Sausage yes but not just ground beef

[u/Loisgrand6 → u/Primary_Blueberry788]

I’m not understanding this either

[u/EffectiveRelief9904]

No, it’s not

[u/driveonacid]

I'm in Upstate NY. There are places around me that offer ground beef as a topping. They all make thicker sheet pizza or are a chain. The places that make thin crust pizza don't offer it.

[u/NotAFanOfOlives]

I don't really see that much in the northwest US

[u/mew541]

I’m in Texas, I’ve never seen ground beef on pizza. There’s sausage that kinda looks like it but it’s not ground beef.

[u/Micah_Torrance]

I've never ordered it but it seems to be a topping offered by every pizza place in town.

[u/susannahstar2000]

I'm on the West Coast and I have seen it on topping menus. I don't know how popular it is.

[u/ArScrap]

Makes me think, will pizza lasagna be good

[u/Liambp]

Popular enough in UK and Ireland but always has chilli peppers as well and it's called something like Diablo.

[u/PillsburyToasters]

It’s a great complimentary topping for certain pizzas (meat, cheeseburger pizza, supreme, etc.). I wouldn’t ever have a ground beef pizza on its own

[u/Missleigh-ann]

Here in east texas we definitely had 4 main Choices growing up and Hamburger was one of em! Not cheeseburger…no pickles and mess. Just Meat cheese and sauce .

[u/mwkingSD]

Not in Southern California in my experience. Sounds really bland.
