Well after viewing the Pimp That Snack site me and a few friends decided that we were going to do it!
Now this is no small task and 'should' have taken alot of preperation.... But we are students so felt we could manage it in one shopping trip.
Fair to say it took us three seperate trips out as we kept forgetting stuff 
Right lets start with the pictures 
Before we could start anything we had to clean the oven as it was just a touch dirty
Once this was clean we did the final check through to make sure we had everything we needed before undertaking the task at hand:
4 Hamburgers
4 Small Chips
2 Tomatoe Puree
2 Packs of cheese
1 Mixed Herbs
2 Packs of Bacon (only used one but it was buy one get one fre )
1 Pack of Pizza base mix
Then Jon had a brainwave.....why piss about with pizza base mix when we live in a town full of takeaways! So we went off to a local pizza place and started the in-depth cross-lingual discussions with the local pizza place which ended up with us walking out with a 14"'s worth of pizza dough for £1 !!
So now we wrapped foil round one of the racks for the oven to make a makeshift pizza pan!
A quick dry out in the oven to warm the dough up and then we were ready to create!
And now it was time for the creation process....
First we rolled/ripped/stretched/pinched the dough out..
Then it was time to season to dough with mixed herbs for that professional look....
Then nearly 2 tubes of puree later we have our base nicely prepared for the toppings.....
Obviously throughout the process we were refering back to the online guide for the project but we like to think we freestyled alot of it and got better results!!
Now it was time for the initial topping of cheese and some chips....
Followed by the burgers......
And we then put a pack of bacon in the microwave for 30 seconds just to start the cooking process on them...
And we layed the bacon onto the pizza and finished off the toppings so it was ready for the oven....
And it was ready for the oven....
Then it was the longest 20 minutes of our lifes.....Our TV wasnt working at the time so we couldnt pass the time by playing PES. In the end we just watched random crap on youtube.....
Then when the buzzer went off we all jumped up and ran down to check it. Its fair to say we havnt been this excited about sometime for along time, we put more effort into this pizza than our lectures
And it cameout of the oven looking far better than we thought it would have done, it turned out to be a success!!!! (pepsi is there to give you an idea of scale)
We then set about enjoying the pizza, and it was good. Seriously it actually tasted really good!
pimpthatsnack reckon this can be done for £6..... not a chance. We had to buy everything including foil as we have nothing and it cost us around £18 so we have no idea how you got the £6 figure?!
All in all we have enjoyed pimping this snack and plan to take on the huge burger next, we have started design discussions and have some tricks up our sleves for it 
And remember kids, Live the dream!

Where do people that post on that site come from? Their cost approximations seem awful low
4 large bars of chocolate
170g sour cream
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
3 eggs
300g white sugar
pinch of salt
teaspoon of baking powder
teaspoon of baking soda
300g of plain flour
200g of butter
£2.57 i reckon you'd get a bar of chocolate for that here
