Steps by step instructions

How to make a low carb Reuben pizza?

STEP 1: Make the pizza crust.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

For the crust, use a large mixing bowl and mix together the 4 ounces of shredded mozzarella, 4 ounces of shredded marbled cheese, eggs, garlic powder and caraway seeds. Mix together with a rubber spatula until well combined.

Transfer the pizza dough mixture onto a parchment-lined 10" pizza pan. Place another piece of parchment on top and use a tumbler or rolling pin to spread out the pizza dough in the pan. Gently remove the top layer of parchment paper from the pizza dough.

Bake the pizza crust in the oven at 350°F for 15 minutes.

Remove the cooked pizza crust from the oven and place a layer of parchment paper on top and gently flip the pizza, then slide it back onto the pizza pan. Flipping it will allow us to cook the other side of the pizza once we add the toppings in Step 3. Check out the recipe video in the Zero Carb Crust recipe to see exactly how I did it.

STEP 2: Make the Russian Dressing

In a medium-sized bowl combine the mayonnaise, sugar-free ketchup, finely diced white onion, Worcestershire sauce, horse radish, hot sauce and paprika with a spoon.

STEP 3: Top the pizza with the Russian dressing first, then the corned beef, sauerkraut and the shredded Swiss cheese.

• STEP 4: Place the pizza back in the oven and bake at 350°F for 15 minutes once again and then broil for 3-5 minutes until the toppings are nice and bubbly.
• Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to slightly cool before cutting it into slices and serving. Garnish with chopped parsley (optional).

Recipe tips

Here are some tips to making the best Reuben Pizza ever.

• To prevent the crust from getting soggy, make sure to thoroughly pat the sauerkraut dry with paper towels before adding it to the pizza.
• For added flavor and texture, consider topping the pizza with some sliced pickles or additional caraway seeds before baking.

How to store leftovers

• Allow the pizza to cool completely to room temperature before storing it. This helps prevent excess moisture from building up inside the container and making the crust soggy.
• Wrap the pizza tightly in plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. This helps prevent air from getting in and drying out the pizza.
• Store the pizza in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This helps keep it fresh and safe to eat.
• When you're ready to eat the leftover pizza, you can reheat it in the oven or microwave. To reheat in the oven, preheat your oven to 350°F, place the pizza on a baking sheet or pizza stone, and bake for about 10-15 minutes or until heated through. To reheat in the microwave, place a slice of pizza on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for about 30-45 seconds or until heated through.

Recipe variations

Here are some variations to make this delicious corned beef sauerkraut pizza.

• Swap the corned beef for pastrami for a slightly different flavor.
• Use a different type of cheese, such as cheddar or pepper jack, in place of Swiss cheese.
• Add some sliced red onion or diced bell peppers to the pizza toppings for extra flavor and texture.
• Use a different type of low-carb crust, such as a cauliflower crust or almond flour crust, instead of the zero-carb crust.
• Swap the Russian dressing for Thousand Island dressing or mustard for a different flavor profile.
