10 Most Popular Pizzas on Hungry Howie’s Menu

Hungry Howie’s Pizza is one of the largest chain pizzerias in the country with more than 550 locations in about twenty-two states. In 1973, James Hearn opened the first Hungry Howie’s in Taylor, Michigan.

The pizzeria is known as the “Home of the Flavored Crust Pizza.” The first Hungry Howie’s owners initially added sesame seeds and butter to the crust.

Now, Hungry Howie’s offers eight distinct crust flavors. For pizza lovers across the country, Hungry Howie’s is a delicious option for a family pizza night or pizza party. 

The pizzeria is well-known among college students since many of the franchise locations are located in college towns.

Check out our comprehensive reviews of some of the best menu items at Hungry Howie’s pizzeria, like pies with pineapples or classics like a meat lover’s with various toppings

Veggie Thin Crust Pizza

The Veggie Thin Crust Pizza is topped with mushrooms, red onions, green peppers, tomatoes, black olives, and mozzarella cheese.

The base is a red marinara-style pizza sauce with a robust flavor.

The thin crust option is available in both medium and large sizes. It’s a crispier crust that still has enough structure to hold various toppings – including loads of veggies.

I enjoy the veggie thin crust pizza from Hungry Howie’s because it is lighter. I can enjoy the taste of delicious pizza without breaking any diet rules I’ve set for myself.

The pizza is loaded with vegetables, so it’s incredibly filling. You won’t miss out on the meat, and you won’t walk away feeling overloaded and weighed down.


Bacon Cheddar Cheeseburger Pizza

It doesn’t get much better than combining two classic comfort foods into one amazing creation.

The Bacon Cheddar Cheeseburger Pizza does just that. It’s the perfect combination of pizza-meets-cheeseburger, so you won’t have to choose between the two.

Hungry Howie’s has created the perfect hybrid food with classic flavors you’ll recognize right away. 

The pizza is topped with ground beef, bacon, mozzarella, and cheddar cheese. It’s available in various sizes, from a junior eight-inch pie to an extra-large sixteen-inch pizza.

When I order the Bacon Cheddar Cheeseburger Pizza, I enjoy adding jalapenos, but you can also get a little crazy by adding a flavored crust, like ranch or onion.

Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza

The Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza is another favorite American flavor combination that Hungry Howie’s perfectly translated to pizza!

The pie is topped with grilled chicken breast, bacon, mozzarella cheese, and ranch dressing. It’s perfect for a pizza party or a family pizza night. 

When I ordered the Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza, I made a few additions like selecting extra cheese, adding mushrooms, and choosing the garlic herb crust.

The Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza is one of the best sellers at the pizzeria and is available in various sizes or with a gluten-free crust. 


Howie Maui Pizza

The Howie Maui Pizza is the pizzeria’s take on Hawaiian pizza.

Lots of pizza lovers have mixed feelings about including pineapple as a topping on pizza, but Hungry Howie’s landed on the side of pineapple lovers everywhere. The pizza’s toppings include ham, bacon, pineapple, and mozzarella. 

My favorite part of the Howie Maui Pizza is the sweet and smokey combination of the two types of meat paired with the sweet pineapple.

I like dunking a pizza slice into a side of ranch dressing for the perfect bite.

Some locations offer a deep dish crust, and if your local Hungry Howie’s has that as an option, I recommend trying it since the Howie Maui Pizza is ideal for a deeper crust (aka more toppings!).  


Meat Eaters Pizza

While the veggie pizza is ideal for veggie lovers, the Meat Eaters Pizza is perfect for people with big appetites.

The pizza’s toppings include pepperoni, ham, Italian sausage, beef, and mozzarella. To take the Meat Eaters Pizza over the top, you can add grilled chicken or bacon to it! 

When I tried the Meat Eaters Pizza, I added the Butter Cheese crust flavor – a great addition to an already tasty pie.

The Meat Eaters Pizza is very filling and packed with protein. In fact, one slice of the pizza offers nine grams of protein, so you don’t have to feel too bad about indulging.  


Cheese Pizza

The classic Cheese Pizza from Hungry Howie’s is one of its most popular pies.

Not only is the cheese pizza kid-friendly, but it also offers a familiar flavor that everyone in the family can enjoy.

Whether you order thin crust, original crust, or deep dish, a cheese pizza is tasty and will make everyone around the table happy.

When ordering your cheese pizza, you can add extra mozzarella or add other cheese options like feta, parmesan, or cheddar.

To really go all-in on the cheese situation, add a flavored crust like asiago or butter cheese. The customizable options at Hungry Howie’s make even a “plain” cheese pizza exciting. 


BBQ Chicken Pizza

The sweet and tangy flavor of BBQ sauce paired with the classic, cheesy goodness of pizza produces an incredible pie.

Hungry Howie’s BBQ Chicken Pizza includes sweet BBQ sauce, grilled chicken, red onion, bacon, and mozzarella cheese. The brightness and acidity of the red onions balance the sweetness of the other flavors perfectly. 

My favorite aspect of the BBQ Chicken Pizza is Hungry Howie’s BBQ sauce, which is smoky and sweet.

The sauce goes directly on the pizza, rather than tossed with the chicken then added on top. The result is a saucier, richer, more flavorful pie!


Buffalo Chicken Pizza

Two football game day favorites – chicken wings and pizza – merge flavors for the delicious Buffalo Chicken Pizza from Hungry Howie’s.

The pizza’s toppings include spicy Buffalo sauce, grilled chicken, red onion, cheddar, and mozzarella. Add jalapenos to your Buffalo Chicken Pizza for an extra kick of spice. 

The Buffalo Chicken Pizza practically begs for a crust flavor to kick things up another notch. I recommend adding butter, sesame, or ranch crust to this pizza.

Remember, Hungry Howie’s is known for its specialty flavored crust, so be sure to explore all of the pizzeria’s options when ordering.

The Buffalo Chicken Pizza is already a creative pie, but you can always take things one step further. 


Works Pizza

If you cannot decide which pizza you are interested in trying, order the Works Pizza.

Hungry Howie’s created this pie for the hungry but indecisive. Its toppings include pepperoni, ham, mushroom, green pepper, onion, Italian sausage, beef, black olive, and extra mozzarella.

You can also order the Works Pizza on a gluten-free crust! 

The Works Pizza is perfect for a pizza party because it offers something for everyone and because it is one of the most filling pizzas on the Hungry Howie’s menu.

When I ordered the Works Pizza, I exchanged the black olives for tomatoes, which was perfect for me! 


Asian Chicken Pizza

If you and your partner cannot decide between pad thai or pizza, then consider ordering the Asian Chicken Pizza from Hungry Howie’s, which perfectly fuses the two distinct flavors.

The pizza’s toppings include tangy Asian Sauce, grilled chicken, green pepper, red onion, and mozzarella. As a finishing touch, the pie is sprinkled with sesame seeds.

The best crust flavor to add to your Asian Chicken Pizza is the sesame crust, but other tasty options include butter, garlic herb, or onion. Be sure to add some of the garlic butter dipping sauce to dunk the crust in, too!
