Few things satisfy quite like a golden, cheesy, deep-dish pie straight from the oven. This Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie is the kind of hearty comfort food that turns an ordinary dinner into a table-wide celebration. Picture layers of savory meats, a tangy tomato base, and gooey mozzarella all wrapped inside a flaky, buttery crust. It’s bold, it’s rich, and unapologetically indulgent.

Perfect for game days, weekend dinners, or anytime you want something a little extra, this meat-loaded pie combines the best parts of your favorite pizza and a savory pie into one unforgettable dish. With every slice, you get the crunch of crust, the juiciness of seasoned hamburger and sausage, and that satisfying pull of melted cheese. It’s like your childhood pizza night got a serious gourmet upgrade.

What Kind of Crust Should I Use?

While store-bought pie crusts can certainly work in a pinch, you’ll get a far more decadent texture and flavor from a homemade buttery crust or a deep-dish pizza dough. Look for a dough that can handle the heavy filling without getting soggy. A thick, biscuit-style crust or even a sturdy puff pastry sheet will hold up beautifully to the juicy meats and melted cheeses.

Ingredients for the Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie

Ground Beef – The hearty foundation of the filling. It adds depth and a juicy, satisfying bite.

Italian Sausage – Spicy or sweet, it introduces that signature herbaceous punch and fattiness that balances the lean beef.

Pepperoni Slices – For that classic pizzeria tang and a slightly crispy texture when baked.

Mozzarella Cheese – A must for the ooey-gooey factor. Use shredded mozzarella for the perfect melt.

Parmesan Cheese – Adds saltiness and a nutty undertone that sharpens the overall flavor.

Pizza Sauce or Marinara – The rich tomato base that binds everything together. Go for a thick, herb-seasoned sauce.

Eggs – Used to bind the filling and help everything set into that sliceable perfection.

Onion and Garlic – For aromatic depth and extra savory flavor.

Pre-made or Homemade Pie Crust – The vessel for this meat-lovers delight; thick and sturdy is the way to go.

Italian Seasoning, Salt, and Pepper – Essential to season all the layers to perfection.

How To Make the Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Crust

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out your homemade or store-bought pie crust and press it into a deep pie dish. Make sure the edges go high up the sides to hold the generous filling. Prick the bottom with a fork and pre-bake for 8 minutes to prevent sogginess.

Step 2: Cook the Meats

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and Italian sausage over medium heat. Drain the excess fat. Add in diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until translucent and fragrant. Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.

Step 3: Add the Sauce

Lower the heat and stir in your pizza sauce or marinara. Simmer for 5 minutes to marry the flavors. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4: Layer the Filling

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the cooled meat sauce to the eggs, stirring to combine. Begin layering: spread a layer of meat mixture on the bottom of the crust, then add a generous sprinkle of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Top with pepperoni slices. Repeat layering if your pie dish is deep enough.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Bake the pie uncovered for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown. The center should be set and the cheese fully melted. Let the pie rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

How to Serve and Store Deep Hamburger Sausage & Pepperoni Pie

Serve this pie hot out of the oven, sliced into hearty wedges. It pairs beautifully with a light salad or crisp pickles to cut through the richness. For leftovers, let the pie cool completely, then store slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven to keep the crust crispy.

To freeze, wrap individual slices tightly in foil and place them in a zip-top freezer bag. They’ll keep well for up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen in a 350°F oven for about 20 minutes.
