Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F to 400°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly to combine.
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, slightly larger than the burger buns to allow for shrinkage during cooking.
Grill the burger patties over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your preferred level of doneness (internal temperature should be 160°F for fully cooked burgers).
During the last 2 minutes of cooking, top each patty with 2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese and 4 pepperoni slices. Close the grill lid to allow the cheese to melt and the pepperoni to warm.
Meanwhile, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes. Optionally, brush each bun with melted butter mixed with garlic powder before toasting for added flavor.
Once toasted, spread about 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce on the bottom half of each bun.
Place the grilled pizza burger patties on top of the sauced buns. Sprinkle a pinch of grated Parmesan cheese over each patty for extra pizza flavor.
Close each burger with the top bun and serve immediately. Optionally, serve with your favorite sides like fries or a salad.
