Reuben Pizza – Spend With Pennies

Reuben Pizza is an easy and delicious main course or appetizer that will satisfy any hungry family.

This family-friendly mashup combines all the meaty, cheesy, and tangy flavors of a Reuben sandwich along with the goodness of a pizza. 

Reuben Pizza Ingredients

Pizza night just got a makeover! Serve Reuben pizza with some extra Thousand Island salad dressing for dipping.

• Dough – Make this Reuben pizza with either store-bought or homemade pizza dough.
• Sauce – I keep the sauce simple, using garlic and olive oil to let the Reuben flavors really shine through.
• Toppings – This Reuben pizza recipe has the same toppings as our fave sandwich. Leftover corned beef (or deli corned beef) and sauerkraut are baked into the pizza, while pickles are added before serving. I like to add a little bit of caraway which mimics a little bit of rye bread flavor.
• Cheese – I like combining Swiss and mozzarella cheeses in this recipe for the perfect texture and flavor.

How to Make Reuben Pizza

1. Spread dough with the garlic and butter/oil.
2. Top with meat, cheese, and sauerkraut (per the recipe below).
3. Bake until the dough is lightly brown at the edges and the cheese is melted.
4. Top with sliced dill pickles and serve with extra Thousand Island on the side for dipping!

Tips and Tricks

• Leftovers can be wrapped in plastic or foil and stored in the fridge for up to four days.
• Reheat leftovers in the oven to restore crispness to the dough.
• The ingredients used in Reuben pizza are not freezer-friendly. It’s best when enjoyed fresh!

Total Time 25 minutes minutes

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.

• Brush garlic butter generously over the baked pizza crust.

• Sprinkle half the cheese over the pizza crust. Top with corned beef and sauerkraut, followed by the remaining cheese and caraway seeds (optional).

• Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until cheese is melted and golden.

• Top with a drizzle of Thousand Island dressing and sliced pickles and serve.

If desired, Thousand Island dressing can be spread over the crust along with the garlic butter.
To prebake a pizza crust, preheat the oven to 450°F.  Roll ½lb of prepared pizza dough into a 12-inch circle on a piece of parchment paper. Transfer the dough and parchment paper to a 12-inch pizza pan and poke the pizza dough all over with a fork. Brush the dough with olive oil and bake for 12-16 minutes or until golden brown.
