In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Divide the seasoned beef into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare to medium doneness. Adjust the cooking time to your preference.
While the burger patties are cooking, split the hamburger buns and lightly toast them on the grill or in a toaster.

Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Add your favorite pizza toppings to each burger patty.
Cover the grill or skillet and let the burgers cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
