Hungry Howie’s Pizza

Hungry Howie’s pizza is definitely one of the underrated national chains out there. One bad experience when I was a kid prevented my family from getting it again for a long time. But I’ve had it a few times in college and once before last summer before trying it for the Super Bowl last weekend.
As with Dominos and Papa Johns, I ordered online here. The interface was simple and really user friendly. I purchased a large Howie Special (pepperoni, ham, green peppers, onion, mushroom) with Cajun-​flavored free crust (they offer at least a dozen free crusts flavoring options if you want an extra dose of flavor in your mouth) for 15 bucks. The part that made me uneasy with their online ordering system was that they don’t have ‘normal’ cheese and sauce options listed. They say it’s implied but it’s confusing. You don’t want your pizzas to get messed up cause of an online order mishap. I made sure to get something else free for 15 bucks. RetailMeNot had their promo code ‘FREECHZ’ to get a 16 piece order of their 3-​cheese breadsticks with pizza sauce that you have to spend at least 12 bucks for (you can get away with the medium howie special for 12 bucks if it’s sufficient). So I got the 5 topping large Howie Special Pizza and the 16 piece breadsticks for 15 dollars total.
They have plenty of promo codes to look at so check out their own website in addition to GroupOn and RetailMeNot among others. It took double the amount of time to make and the location was packed as it was Super Bowl Sunday. They must have a liquor license cause they have a beverage and alcohol section of their store along with some standard finger food. Big counter and so I wasn’t able to get any interior pics cause of the crowd.
I recommend trying ordering online and using the promo codes cause the coupons you get at home don’t usually have offers that small families get. I wouldn’t mind getting Hungry Howie’s if need be!

I don’t even know where to start, hungry howies is like my boyfriend I’m so in love with it! My pizza is always so good and fresh I love the butter cheese and Asiago flavored crust I don’t think I’ve ever had anything wrong with my orders ! I eat from here every week almost (trying to cut back for summer) and I love that they are open so late! And the owner is really nice I saw him in there once and he was very friendly! Highly recommend

I used to order from this location frequently when I lived in Troy. My experiences were mostly positive and I actually knew a few people who worked there before I moved. It’s my understanding that, while there may be unexperienced high school and college students taking orders and making the majority of the food, management takes a lot of pride in what they do as far as the product they sell and service they provide.
All my complaints were taken seriously and corrected the next time. They will replace your order to your satisfaction for free and, depending on the situation, give you a credit for your order if you don’t have time to wait. Just ask.

Well this is the worst Hungry Howie’s I have every ordered from, and nearly the worst pizza I’ve ever had.
Let’s start at the beginning. I order Large Vegetarian pizza w/​all the veggies, except onions, butter cheese crust and an order of breadsticks.
While placing my order, I specified, 3xs that I would like crushed red pepper and parm. The person on the end of the line even CONFIRMED this and read my order back to me.
Delivery took about an hour, which I was expecting on a Friday at prime lunch time. When my driver arrived there was no red pepper or parm (he said it wasn’t on the ticket). I gruntingly signed the CC slip and took my food.
First, the sticks. Ususally when I order sticks from HH, they are marinated in butter and parm. They resemble a stromboli, minus the stuffing. THese were weird. IT was like I didn’t get a full order. The breadsticks were all attached, but there were big spaces between them, like window frames. They were dusted in a bland black & white seasoning concotion and the dough in the center was raw.
The pizza was a hot mess. While it did come w/​a bunch of veggies, it also came with Pineapple. Apparently pineapple is the new green pepper. Over run with salty olives, a delapitated sad looking crust and mushy tomatoes and we can say I was grossed out.
Look, I am aware that when I order pizza, particularly from a chain, chances are it is being made by some community college stoner who is so high he is waxing poetic about the effects of dolphin mating on the pacific currents, which is why I expect my pizza to be tasty. I do not recommend this location at all.
