Preheat a large skillet or grill to medium-high heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Form the mixture into 8 evenly sized patties.
Cook the patties in the preheated skillet or grill for 4-5 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Remove the patties from the heat and let them rest while preparing other ingredients.
In a small saucepan, warm the marinara sauce over low heat.
Slice the burger buns if not already pre-sliced. Optional: Lightly butter the cut sides and toast them on the grill or in a skillet for added flavor.
Assemble the pizza burgers: Place one cooked patty on the bottom half of each bun. Spread a spoonful of marinara sauce over the patty, followed by a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese and a small amount of grated Parmesan cheese.
Top each patty with 2 slices of pepperoni.
Place the assembled burger (without the top bun) under a broiler or in an oven at 375°F (190°C) for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Add the top half of the burger bun and serve immediately. Optionally, you can serve with a side of fries or a simple green salad.
