My husband and I are going to attempt to make this culinary feat this weekend. Wish us luck

I don't know what that is, but I'm watching Man vs. Food and they were at LB's in Brooklyn and this looks fantastic for a Sicilian pie.

7/7/2011 9:58:36 PM

It's a reuben on a pizza.

7/7/2011 10:00:21 PM

^^ now that's a motherfucking pizza!

none of that thin crust bullshit

rye dough, sauerkraut and mayonnaise sauce, covered by a layer of swiss cheese, and finally with corned beef on top

sounds disgusting

7/7/2011 10:00:44 PM

By mayonnaise sauce do you mean 1000 island dressing?

7/7/2011 10:02:04 PM

neither belongs on a pizza

and i just googled the ingredients of a reuben, it said either mayo or 1000 island, i dunno

7/7/2011 10:05:01 PM

Never heard of a mayo reuben.

7/7/2011 10:07:05 PM

I've never heard of a reuben with mayo on it. That sounds no bueno. I have had a reuben with mustard on it though.

7/7/2011 10:07:32 PM

i dont know shit about whats on a reuben but this site acts like its either http://southernfood.about.com/od/cornedbeefandbrisket/r/bl30320n.htm

either way it doesnt sound appealing to me as a pizza sauce

7/7/2011 10:08:30 PM

If you think about it, a pizza is nothing more than a baked open faced sandwich

And don't trust anything on about.com. You should know better.

7/7/2011 10:09:50 PM

i figured they'd at least know sandwich ingredients, i guess i know better now, although the first comment seems to be a better answer

" wanted to use some of our left over corned beef from St. Patrick's Day. My dad prefers an open faced Reuben sandwich, so I modified the recipe to accommodate. First, I toasted the Rye bread, buttered the outside, then Thousand Island dressing, thinly sliced corned beef, sauerkraut, topped with Swiss cheese and broiled until cheese bubbled."

7/7/2011 10:10:46 PM

whatever NyM410 posted i want in my mouth right now

and yes, i realize how inapprop that sounds

AND i already ate pizza for dinner

and like 75 swedish fish. but i lost like 10lbs recently so my stomach can definitely stretch a little.

and a reuben on pizza sounds gross to me. i'd rather just have a reuben on really good bread. actually the bread is the main reason i'd ever even eat a reuben. BUT i'm interested in seeing the results of your venture!

^^^i'm assuming you saw this on Man vs. Food earlier tonight when he was in Ames, Iowa?

7/7/2011 10:11:10 PM

Man vs. Food is evil. It makes me want to eat things that are terrible for you, like the deep fried bacon wrapped tater tots on the last episode.

^ Yes

7/7/2011 10:12:02 PM

man i love a good reuben...i'll try anything once, like a reuben pizza

but there are so many other kinds of things i like on pizza

7/7/2011 10:13:25 PM

I'm thinking I'll make a caraway crust. Make sure to squeeze the juices out of the sauerkraut so it doesn't get soggy. And pile on plenty of meat.

7/7/2011 10:15:29 PM

i've eaten sauerkraut as a meal before...must be the polish/czech blood in my veins

but draining it first would be a good idea. no one wants a runny pizza.

7/7/2011 10:16:35 PM

Have you ever had sauerkraut soup before? So tasty I could eat a bucket of sauerkraut by itself I think.

7/7/2011 10:17:40 PM

i have not...but you've got my attention

7/7/2011 10:18:11 PM

I had a Reuben hand pie at PieBird.

Twas quite dank.

7/7/2011 10:18:37 PM

This isn't the soup recipe I used but it looks pretty similar: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/sauerkraut-soup-with-sausage-recipe/index.html

7/7/2011 10:25:22 PM

once the fall comes around i will investigate this sauerkraut soup you speak of

right now it's too damn hot for any soup, no matter how delicious

7/7/2011 10:26:47 PM

this sounds freaking AWESOME


keep us updated wolfpackgrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

7/7/2011 11:26:24 PM

We made it today. It's really tasty!



I made a rye crust with caraway. Let it rise for awhile. Then we used 1000 island as the base and piled on shredded swiss, mozzarella, corned beef, and sauerkraut. I had Harris Teeter slice the corned beef extra thin so the edges would be a tad crispy. Once we took it out we put some pickles on each slice. NOM NOM NOM.

7/10/2011 6:36:19 PM

whats the sodium like on that thing?

7/10/2011 6:38:32 PM

I imagine about the same as the sandwich

7/10/2011 6:39:20 PM

I, too, saw this on Man vs. Food the other day

^^^good job that looks dank

7/10/2011 8:03:02 PM

We had leftover dough so we made an extra pie for lunch tomorrow:



Definitely getting better with practice lol.

7/10/2011 8:22:41 PM

I want to put that in my mouth.

7/10/2011 9:23:13 PM

get the fuck outta here with that Boston Pizza-esque shit. pickled vegetables need to stay the fuck off my pizza

[Edited on July 10, 2011 at 9:41 PM. Reason : but smoked beef can stay ]

Pee-wee rocking the emo Spider-man look.

7/11/2011 9:31:54 AM

^^^ Basically I took this recipe:

http://www.thefreshloaf.com/recipes/pizza

And subbed 1.5 cups of the flower with rye flour and added 1 tablespoon of caraway seeds.
