Reuben pizza is the perfect combination of your favorite sandwich and a perfect pizza. We love it for St. Patrick’s Day or if you are just craving a yummy combination of corned beef and the tasty dressing.
We eat pizza a lot in our house. It is a favorite of the littles {of course} and my husband doesn’t mind much either. We’ll do make your own pizza nights to add to the fun. On a recent “make your own” night, I came up with the idea to turn one of my husband’s favorite sandwiches into a pizza and created this reuben pizza recipe.
This pizza is pretty simple to make but it is huge on flavor. You just pile the pizza crust with the your favorite Reuben sandwich ingredients.
We use naan or flatbread usually. However, if you prefer a homemade pizza crust, just grab your favorite recipe and start there.
There are lots of discussions of whether you should use Thousand Island dressing or Russian dressing. The majority vote went to Thousand Island but don’t let that stop you from slathering it with Russian dressing.

Great Recipe, Shannah! Weekend is coming and I am definitely going to try this out when friends are over. Can’t wait to share the feedback with you. It looks so cheesy and yummy *slurp*
Question: Can I use something else other than the shredded cheese? I once tried cheese blocks with pizza. Do you think they will go with this recipe?
Love
