Hungry Howie’s
This national chain hangs its hat on flavored crust pizza, offering eight different flavors — which are all free, allowing you to mix and match as many as you want. When we got our various pizzas home — Hungry Howie’s is a takeout or delivery enterprise — we discovered that the flavored crust pizza is indeed all it’s cracked up to be. The various flavors added a lot, turning those last several bites of nothing but crust from pizza to pizzazz. There are many delicious pizzas to try, and also many delectable sides, including calzones, rolls, breadsticks, wings and salads.
