Rueben Pizza

Ruebens are one of my favorite sandwiches; so it’s natural for me to turn it into a pizza. While the concept of a rueben pizza is nothing new, my pizza uses homemade corned beef that is made out of tri-tip instead of brisket to cut down on the fat content. If you are pressed for time, using a good quality corned beef lunch meat is completely acceptable.
