Reuben Stromboli
Ingredients
- 1 can thin crust refrigerated pizza dough
11-ounce
- 1/2 cup Thousand Island
or Russian dressing, plus more for dipping
- 1 pound thinly sliced corned beef
- 1 package sliced Swiss cheese
7-ounce
- 1 1/2 cups firmly packed sauerkraut
thoroughly drained
- caraway seeds
optional
Directions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400° F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Open the can of pizza dough and stretch it thin and even on the parchment.

Spread the dressing on the dough leaving about a 1-inch border around the edge. Top with the corned beef, then cheese, then sauerkraut. It's very important that the sauerkraut be very well drained. Pressing it in a fine mesh strainer or even running it through a salad spinner is a great idea! Too much moisture and your crust will be soggy.

Starting on one side, carefully roll the dough like a jelly roll. Slide to the middle of the parchment so that the seam is on the bottom. Stretch and tuck the ends under the stromboli. Cut several diagonal slits into the crust. If you want even more authentic reuben flavor, lightly spray the top of the dough with nonstick cooking spray and sprinkle it with caraway seeds.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until deep golden brown. Serve warm with extra dressing for dipping.

About this Recipe
Craving the unmistakable flavors of a classic Reuben sandwich but want a fun, easy twist? This Reuben Stromboli delivers all those savory, tangy notes in a hearty, cheesy package that’s perfect for any occasion, especially as a nod to St. Patrick's Day.
Why This Reuben Stromboli Works
The magic of this Reuben Stromboli lies in its incredible simplicity and the perfectly balanced flavors. By starting with convenient refrigerated pizza dough, you skip the fuss of making dough from scratch, making this a truly easy recipe. The classic combination of thinly sliced corned beef, Swiss cheese, tangy sauerkraut, and creamy Thousand Island dressing creates a symphony of taste in every bite.
What you'll find here is a robust, comforting dish where each component shines. The pizza dough bakes up to a golden, slightly crisp exterior, encasing the rich, melted Swiss cheese and tender corned beef. The sauerkraut adds a delightful tang that cuts through the richness, while the dressing provides a creamy, savory backdrop. With an optional sprinkle of caraway seeds, you add that authentic rye bread flavor without needing the bread itself. This hearty stromboli is satisfying and full of flavor, making it a guaranteed crowd-pleaser that's ready in about 40 minutes.
Customization & Variations
Feel free to adapt this recipe to your pantry or preferences. If you prefer, Russian dressing can be used interchangeably with Thousand Island for a slightly different flavor profile. While corned beef is traditional, you could experiment with pastrami for a similar deli-style experience. For those who want to enhance the traditional Reuben taste, don't skip the caraway seeds—they add a wonderfully aromatic touch.
Serve this warm, golden Reuben Stromboli as the star of a casual weeknight dinner, a festive St. Patrick's Day gathering, or a game day spread. It's fantastic on its own, or with an extra side of Thousand Island or Russian dressing for dipping.
