Why You’ll Love It

Ingredients You’ll Need

Ingredients for Reuben pizza
  • Pre-Made Pizza Crust – I use Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods. If you want to try your hand at homemade dough use this recipe.
  • Sauerkraut – Make your own or use a store brand, like Hengstenberg, Nathan’s or Bubbies.
  • Swiss Cheese – Great for its creamy and nutty taste; Gruyere can be substituted if you don’t have Swiss cheese.
  • Mozzarella Cheese – Perfect for pizza due to its mild and melty taste.
  • Corned Beef – You can make the corned beef yourself. It’s a brined brisket, essentially. Or you can buy a premade corned beef or substitute with pastrami for a slightly different flavor.
  • Thousand Island Dressing – You can make your own or use a store-bought brand. See below for our recipe.
  • Dill Pickles – I know it sounds strange, but it’s really tasty.
  • Caraway Seeds – I love the flavor these add but some people have an aversion to this taste. Leave it off if you do.

Tips for Making Reuben Pizza

  • For a crispy crust, pre-bake it for a few minutes before adding toppings. Don’t forget to drain the sauerkraut well to prevent the pizza from becoming too soggy.
  • Get creative with toppings by adding sliced onions, bell peppers, or even a drizzle of spicy mustard for extra flavor dimension. Add a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley or green onions on top after baking for a pop of color and freshness.
  • Consider making mini Reuben pizzas using individual-sized crusts for a fun and customizable dinner option.

How to Make Thousand Island Dressing

If you want to make your own Thousand Island dressing, it’s very easy and you likely already have the ingredients on hand. Here is our recipe:

  • 1/3 cup mayo
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon dill pickle relish
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.
