Reuben Pizza is my recipe of the day with the blogging group Foodie Extravaganza. We group together monthly to share recipes on certain food holidays and other cooking trends. This month the focus is on corned beef. Or more accurately, what to do with the leftover corned beef.
I love Reuben sandwiches, so making a pizza in the style of one is a no-brainer for me. I’ve used the leftover corned beef and sauerkraut from another recipe I hope to publish in a couple of days. That one is oven braised corned beef with sauerkraut. It’s delish, so keep your eyes peeled.
What Goes in a Reuben Pizza?
- Pizza crust
- Swiss cheese
- Mozzarella cheese
- Leftover Corned Beef
- Sauerkraut
- Pepperoncini
- Caramelized Onions
- Parmesan Cheese
- Thousand Island Dressing
This pizza has a soft and creamy Swiss cheese base, with mozzarella mixed in here and there. Then caramelized onions are added, along with corned beef, sliced peppers, sauerkraut, Parm, and a drizzle of dressing. And not to forget a little caraway seasoning to help bring out a rye tone.
It is really like a Reuben on a pizza crust, and one we really enjoyed. Perhaps not something the Irish would have on St. Patty’s Day, but then again? Maybe they would. I could see washing this down at the Pub with a Black and Tan!

Reuben Pizza
Equipment
- parchment paper
- baking stone
- pizza peel
Ingredients
- 16 ounces prepared pizza dough
- 1/2 cup onion slivers
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 ounces Laughing Cow Creamy Swiss Cheese Spread
- 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 ounces leftover corned beef chopped
- 1/4 cup sliced pepperoncini peppers
- 1/2 teaspoon caraway seed
- 2 tablespoons shaved Parmesan cheese
- 3 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/3 cup Thousand Island dressing
Instructions
- Place pizza dough into an oiled bowl and let rest in a warm, draft-free place until dough is warm and puffy and you can push your finger into it leaving a full indentation.
- Preheat your oven to 450F placing a pizza stone or baking stone on the lower rack to preheat.
- Place a sheet of parchment on your pizza peel and gently pat out the pizza dough. If it retracts, allow it to rest further.
- Cook the onion slivers in the tablespoon of oil in a small skillet until they soften and start to caramelize. Re,ove from the pan to cool then add the cooked corned beef to the skillet and heat it up.
- Pinch off pieces of the Laughing Cow Swiss onto the dough (it will be like soft cream cheese) and sprinkle half the mozzarella over.
- Add the corned beef, pepperoncini slices, and onions to the pizza.
- Add the remainder of the mozzarella along with the Parmesan and a small drizzle of olive oil.
- Sprinkle lightly with caraway seed.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes in the preheated oven, sliding the pizza on the paper off the peel and onto the baking stone.
- After removing the baked pizza from the oven, drizzle it with the Thousand Island dressing.
- Slice the pizza whichever way you prefer and serve hot.

That looks absolutely amazing, I just swapped out an item on my menu to make this next week. I can’t wait to try it.
Perfect….Who doesn’t love pizza and I can’t get enough corned beef.
Love reuben pizza! Great way to use up leftover corned beef
Normally I don’t allow rude bs comments to hit the site but this one is so hilariously ridiculous I am going to put it up. And for any of my readers who want to know if corned beef goes on a Reuben, they needn’t take my word for it. They can go to a Jewish deli…or ANY deli for that matter and check out the menu. Oh, you *can* get a Reuben made with pastrami. You can also get one made with turkey, but those are not the original Reuben. But what my readers should not do is listen to the ranting of a rude troll who wants to tell me what to do on my blog. Catherine, get your own blog. Go elsewhere and find and fulfill your own self-righteous destiny. Have a nice day! P.S. There is no pepperoni on my pizza. I think you may be so drunk you can’t see straight, or not. Who cares really…
Oh and your comment, Catherine, was unapproved for security reasons. It can be viewed here: https://wp.me/a119K3-d4s
