Particularly, if such burger deviates a little bit from the traditional cheeseburger, and includes some of the following ingredients:
- Onion rings fried with worcestershire sauce
- Feta cheese
- Cognac mustard
- Habanero spiced chilibeans
- Chorizo filled olives
- Blue cheese sauce
What I think is that the burger is a generic vehicle for gastronomic experimentation, rather than a dish in itself.
Debate!

Good point. Which one could offer the more possibilities then?
Because, let's be honest, the burger is a burger as long as it has two breads and something inside, while the pizza is not a pizza if it doesn't have at least tomato sauce and chess...
Or is it?
We have a pizza place near us which in addition to the traditional tomato paste base, also has a chilli pizza with a spicy chilli meat base, and a chicken kiev pizza with a garlic sauce base... I would say these are still pizzas, but then I'm not a traditionalist.
I would say the pizza beats the burger for variety. Especially in the wider range of vegetarian options 🙂
I suppose the ultimate would be the burger pizza, a 12" meat pattie inbetween two pizza bases. You could fit a serious crap load of ingredients in that bad boy!

Now getting back to the burger debate, yes, that sound delicious and I think that it is a dish in and of itself.
Hope I didn't ruin your appetite. 😛

Once in Northern MX I went to a joint where they sold 20 cm. diameter burgers, and the bill was on them if you managed to eat their "Royale" by yourself and in less than 1 hour.
I tried that thing 3 times and ended always defeated, begging for CPR. The monster had velveeta and pepperjack, 1 full sliced avocado, onion rings, double beef, crispy bacon, bbq sauce, jalapeños, and refried beans.
A true wonder of nature, I tells ya!
