HUNGRY HOWIES – Restaurant

Pizza with a seasoned edge is the whole proposition at Hungry Howie's, and it has been since the chain rolled out eight flavored crusts in the mid-1980s. Choose butter, butter cheese, asiago, ranch, cajun, sesame, garlic herb or Italian herb, then build from there — specialty pies like the Howie Special and Meat Eaters, or a straightforward pepperoni. The oven-baked subs are the sleeper pick, made from pizza dough, stuffed, folded and baked. Add Howie Bread, wings and a salad and you have a family order. Reviewers consistently flag the price and the speed. Not fancy. Reliably good.
