Burger King to launch 'Pizza Burger' meal
Published Wednesday, Aug 25 2010, 15:33 BST | By Simon Reynolds
The fast food meal, which consists of beef burgers, pepperoni, mozzarella, Tuscan pesto and marinara sauce, is the size of four Burger King Whoppers and arranged into six slices to resemble a pizza.
One Pizza Burger allegedly contains 144g of fat (59g saturated) and its 2,500 calories is the same as the recommended daily intake for men and 500 more than women's 2,000 calorie recommendation.
John Schaufelberger, Burger King's vice president of global marketing, said that the meal is intended as an homage to New York and is "to be shared".
"[It] demonstrates the type of menu offerings our guests can expect," he said.
The Pizza Burger will cost restaurant customers $13 (£8.40).
