The Super Burger in Miami – Bigger, Better, Juicier

Let me be honest with you. When I first put the super burger on our menu at Pops Pizza, I didn’t think it would become what it is today. I thought people would look at it and say, “That’s too much. Nobody needs that much burger.”

I was wrong. Dead wrong.

The super burger has become one of our best sellers. Not because it’s fancy. Not because it’s trendy. But because sometimes – just sometimes – you wake up hungry. Not regular hungry. Super hungry. And a regular burger won’t cut it.

What Actually Is a Super Burger?

Let me paint you a picture.

A super burger starts with not one, but TWO half-pound beef patties. That’s a full pound of beef, my friend. We season it simply – salt, pepper, a little garlic powder – then we throw it on a hot grill. While it’s cooking, we add two slices of American cheese on each patty. Yes, four slices total. Some people say that’s too much cheese. Those people are wrong.

Then we put it on a toasted bun – not a sub roll, a real round bun that’s strong enough to hold all this meat. On top of the cheese? Crispy bacon. Sometimes two strips, sometimes three if I’m in a good mood. Then shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, raw onions, pickles, and our special house sauce which is like a tangy thousand island but better.

And if you’re really feeling dangerous? Add a fried egg. Runny yolk. Don’t tell your doctor.

How Is It Different From a Regular Cheese Burger?

Our regular cheese burger (the one on our menu for $7–$17 depending on size) is a beautiful thing. One patty. One or two slices of cheese. Standard toppings. It’s classic. It’s reliable. It’s what you order on a Tuesday when you just want lunch.

The super burger is what you order on a Friday night after a long week. Or before a football game. Or when you haven’t eaten all day and you’re seeing stars.

Here’s a quick comparison:

Wait – What If I Don’t Want Beef That Day?

Hey, I get it. Not every day is a beef day. Sometimes you want something lighter. That’s why we also have a chicken sub on the menu. Grilled chicken breast, melted cheese, same fresh toppings, but on a sub roll. It’s not a super burger – it’s not trying to be. It’s for when you want protein without feeling like you need a nap afterward.

But today? Today we’re talking about the super burger. The chicken sub will be there for you tomorrow.

How to Eat a Super Burger Without Making a Mess

Let me give you some advice from someone who has eaten at least 200 of these things.

Step 1: Unwrap it carefully. Don’t just tear into it like an animal.

Step 2: Squish it down slightly with the palm of your hand. This makes it shorter and easier to bite.

Step 3: Take a fork and knife and cut it in half. I know, I know – real men don’t use knives on burgers. But trust me. A super burger is two meals. Eat half now. Save half for later. You’ll thank me.

Step 4: Have napkins ready. Lots of napkins.

Step 5: Accept that you will get sauce on your shirt. It’s a rite of passage.

What Miami Is Saying About Our Super Burger

Last month, a guy named Marcus came in after a 12-hour shift. He ordered a super burger with extra jalapeños and a fried egg. I watched him eat the whole thing in eight minutes. Eight minutes. Then he looked at me and said, “That burger just fixed my marriage.”

I don’t know what was wrong with his marriage. But I’m glad we could help.

Another customer, a food blogger from Brickell, said our super burger was “the most unnecessary burger in Miami – and I mean that as a compliment.” I framed that review and hung it in the kitchen.

Is the Super Burger Healthy?

No. Next question.

Okay, fine. Let me be real. A super burger has about 1,200–1,500 calories depending on toppings. It has a lot of fat. It has a lot of sodium. It is not a salad. It is not kale. It is not a smoothie bowl.

But you know what? Sometimes you need a meal that feeds your soul, not just your macros. The super burger is that meal. Eat it once in a while. Walk it off on South Beach the next day. Life is about balance.

Can You Finish a Whole Super Burger by Yourself?

Most people can’t. And that’s okay. Half the people who order a super burger take half of it home. The other half finish it and then immediately regret their life choices – but in a good way.

I have seen exactly three people finish a whole super burger with a fried egg and extra bacon, then order dessert. Those people are my heroes.

FAQs – Super Burger

1. Is the super burger the biggest burger you have?
Yes. By far. Our 1LB cheese burger is big, but the super burger with two patties, bacon, and egg is our heavyweight champion.

2. Can I get a super burger without bacon?
Of course. Just ask. No judgment.

3. How long does it take to make a super burger?
About 10–12 minutes. Two patties take longer to cook than one. Good things take time.

4. Do you deliver super burgers?
We do. But honestly? It’s better fresh at the restaurant. By the time it gets to you, the bun might be a little soft. Still delicious, but not at its peak.

5. Is the super burger halal?
Our beef is not certified halal, so please check with your own dietary needs first.

6. I’m not that hungry. Should I still order a super burger?
No. Get a regular cheese burger or a chicken sub instead. Save the super burger for when you really need it.

7. Can I add mushrooms or jalapeños?
Absolutely. Extra toppings are always welcome.

8. My friend says the super burger is too much. What do I tell them?
Tell them to order a salad. Then eat your super burger in front of them while maintaining eye contact.
