No one knows for sure who invented the Reuben Sandwich—maybe it was Arnold Reuben, the founder of Reuben’s Restaurant and Delicatessen in New York? And maybe, just maybe, it was inspired by one of Charlie Chaplin’s leading ladies, who supposedly told Reuben to make her a combo sandwich because, she said, “I’m so hungry, I could eat a brick.”
But one thing’s for sure: Dallas chain Zalat Pizza has made the corned beef classic into a pizza that any New Yorker would be proud of. Now Zalat is bringing back The Reuben—with a lot more beef—as a limited-time offer from November 1 through November 30, the company has announced.
The Reuben pizza is available in the 14-inch and 19-inch size. It’s made with corned beef, sauerkraut (marinated for six hours in caraway seeds and red wine vinegar), mozzarella and Swiss cheeses, chives, and a housemade Thousand Island sauce base. Each order comes with an extra side of sauerkraut, and this latest iteration of the pizza boasts 50% more corned beef than a previous version on the menu.
