Hungry Howie’s Pizza

I like the flavored crusts. It is a good pizza. A great pic up late at night.
The price can jump up pretty fast.
The staff is very nice and friendly.
Easy location to whip in.
I guess on a rainy day they get swamped with delivery orders.

I have never gotten a single order from here correct. I order wings and pizza and don’t get the wings. Next time I order ham pizza and bread with garlic sauce and instead I receive a cheese pizza, bread and pizza sauce. The food is good, but the jokers working there make it bad. I will never order from here again.

I recently moved here from Chicago and I can honestly say that I have never waited so long to get my food from any delivery food placed. I made an order at 1:55am…it’s 3:22am past their closing time. I had called and they told me deliveries were behind a little… not really sure what a little means to me.

How this place is still open is beyond me. It’s not that the food’s not good, it’s the wait and the poor management and incompetent workers. Never have I got a pizza delivered on time, and the one time I order to pick up in store it’s over a 50 minute wait for two pizzas. All the workers seem frazzled like chickens who just got their heads chopped off, and honestly they might as well be. I only ever ordered pizza from there, but since the most recent catastrophe of an hour late pizza, I haven’t been back since. I hope this store is put out of its misery soon because its slow death is painful to watch.

This place is seriously the WORSE place to order or to go to. They are so unprofessional and rude. I ordered from here through their ‘online service’ and waited for them for a whole hour so I decided to call them. Supposedly when they had received the order earlier it came out blank? But the minute I called they received the entire order and it was going to take another hour?! Um no. So unorganized it’s pathetic. I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone honestly. Very disappointed in them. Oh I forgot to mention that I ordered at 10:24 pm, called at 11:26pm. I didn’t not order anything because I was expecting my pizza. So now, everything is closed. OH! And they didn’t even apologize once.

I was really looking forward to having a cheese pizza and some bread sticks from here. I ordered my pizza at 1040 (when I received the confirmation email) for delivery. At around 1140 the pizza had not yet arrived. I called the store to get an ETA and the woman on the phone said that it had left the store 10 minutes ago. She said the email had a 1 hour quote. I said thank you and continued to watch my movie waiting patiently for my dinner. I then looked at the email and there was no quote on it. At around midnight I began to get frustrated. Finally at 1210 the guy showed up. It was $ 15 for the food plus delivery. I gave him a $ 20 and said keep it. Not sure why I tipped but I always do. I asked the guy to show me the quote time but he said it wasn’t on there. New system or something. I went to my room with my dinner and it was cold to the touch and the cheese was hard. I didn’t even bother checking the breadsticks. If the pizza left at 1130 and got to my place at 1210 that means it was in his car for 40 min! At this point I didn’t even want it. I took it back to the store and asked for my money back. She offered to make it again but I was over it. Got my $ 15 didn’t even bother trying to get the $ 20. I went to a place down the road. I was just really looking forward to having pizza and a movie at my house but I guess next time I’ll order from another pizza place

The food is amazing! I love the different flavored crusts, BUT management is incompetent. The GM Dave DOES NOT know how to work the computer to take your order; he can’t seem to understand proper American English spoken directly to his face, AND he does not seem to care about his customers.
My husband and I specifically told him numerous times during our order, that my husband’s food CANNOT have cheese! He said, «I got it. I know what you want. Emily you put the order in, I’ll make it.»
My husband is DEATHLY ALLERGIC to cheese. The pizzas looked good, so we expected the pizza rolls Dave made to have been alright. My husband calls me from work saying there was cheese on his Hungry Howie Pizza Roll. He was between throwing it up when he called.
We go into the store after picking him up from work. Emily profusely apologized and give us our next meal free, to make amends for her boss trying to kill my husband.
We go in today, Feb 24, to take up that generous offer. The GM Dave is there. He says he will not honor what Emily gave us. Says he doesn’t remember making my husband’s pizza rolls. Blamed Emily for doing it.
This incompetent man has cost his place of business money. I give out word of mouth about how great this place is, but no more. NOR will we spend our money there. I implore you to order from Emily or Josh. Even Cody. They care. They listen. And they are good at their jobs.

I’ve ordered from this location twice now, and I have to say last night just left me a bit bitter.
I used to order from their broadway location all the time, I’ve never had a problem with the staff and the food has always been consistent.
I ordered a small Italian deluxe sub, over the phone and they gave me a quote time of 15 minutes. Perfect, as it takes me about 15 minutes to get there.
I get there and walk in and a rather frazzled, older woman asks why I’m there, I told her I was there to pick up an order and she proceeds to tell me that it’s not done yet because they got a rush right after I called. I don’t know why that set my order back since it happened after I called but I just said okay and she proceeded to ring me up.
And that’s when it got rather irritating. I used my husbands card to pay, since I had recently misplaced mine and I’m still waiting on my replacement. She saw that it said ‘See ID’. She asked for my ID and I proceeded to give her my ID AND my husbands ID. She stares at it and proceeds to LECTURE me about paying with my husbands card, even after I tell her my situation.
So being super uncomfortable I sit down and wait. And wait. And wait some more. As soon as I was going to ask what was taking so long, she mumbles my name and shoves my sub at me. She is so lucky I had no energy from a long weekend of nursing a sick toddler and the exhaustion on a huge birthday party, or else I probably would have given her a piece of my mind.
I got home and my sub was less of a sub and more of a calzone. The whole thing was baked shut, which shouldn’t happen because you should be able to open it to put the sauce and veggies on. Also, all the meat was concentrated on one side, so some bites were full of meat and the others were just the bread.
I was left disappointed by the whole experience. I ended up not even eating half of it. I guess I’ll leave my Hungry Howie’s cravings to their east side location. Those guys have it together.

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE. Most disgusting pizza of my life.
One late night while I was up studying, I ordered a BBQ chicken pizza for delivery. When I opened the box, all I saw was dough and cheese swimming in way, way, way too much BBQ sauce with about 5 – 6 small chunks of chicken. Most of the sauce and cheese shifted to one side of the box. What… the…F
Since I was super hungry, I tried to scrape as much BBQ sauce off as possible. Took a few bites. It tasted so gross – I wanted to gag, so I threw the whole thing away. Instant ramen it is!

Great prices and fantastic pizza! The staff was super nice both on the phone and for the delivery. We order from here only occasionally, but its worth every penny, which isn’t many. :)

Food is good and cheap, but they lie about prices and refuse to honor coupons. Get the full price before you order!

I’ve loved Hungry Howies for years, always had good food. The past few weeks I’ve ordered from them a few times, every time was fantastic and the food tasted awesome. I ordered a pizza tonight and not only did it take almost an hour and a half to arrive (when the location is 5 minutes away from my address) but when it got here, it was cold. Not that big of a deal, but once I started eating it I noticed a weird smell, I realized the smell was rubbing alcohol. It was coming from the crust of the pizza, so I took a bite of the crust and it literally tasted like I was drinking rubbing alcohol. I got sick to my stomach, my tongue went numb and I lost my appetite. I called the location to speak with a manager, I had to ask for a manager 3 times before finally speaking with her. I told her what had happened and all she says is «that’s weird». She then offered me to either have them re make the pizza and send it back out (she said it would take 45 minutes to an hour) or give me 20% off my next order. I don’t know about you, but 20% off my next order for feeding me rubbing alcohol doesn’t seem like a fair trade to me.

This place is fire. Pretty much the best pizza for the price, as $ 5 can get you a large. Puts little Caesars to shame.

I would have to rate this place a 5 just because I am a regular at hungry howies I know most of the staff not by name but by face and they all remember me and always know what I want and that’s awesome customer service but I went last night on 8÷12÷14 but before going I had to call 5 times and waited about 5 mins each time with no answer but soon as I go in there, there are 2 dudes playing with themselves or something cus I called their phone when I walked in and it worked fine then the guy threw himself at the phone and I told him I called like 5 times and he gave me the excuse that the phone was probably not hung up right but I actually called 15 secs before arriving and he still didn’t answer there was no one there and they weren’t even making a pizza for anyone else then I just ordered my pizza and was polite cus you all know when you talk your s#!t your pizza gets spit on etc… So it’s better to just talk to a manager the next day :)

We have ordered from this store before multiple times. We always ask for extra sauce and in the past we have paid for it. As you can see from the receipt and the photos we did not receive it. We called the store and the manager Mark (thanks for spelling it for me) said we could bring them both back in and wait for them to be remade at our inconvenience or 20% off our next order. He also told us that since we didn’t have to pay for the sauce, extra was not required. One question, why bother putting it on the receipt if it was not an option?
Since I can’t give zero stars, I am giving one star for the lovely box included with our pizza. It tasted better than the pizza.
Thanks to Mark for his customer service skills and pointing out «corporate policy» does not include customer satisfaction and arguing with us. As promised we have reviewed and posted our interaction as a warning to other consumers.

It’s cheap as hell– our pizza (large pepperoni, extra cheese, garlic crust) was $ 8.50. YUM!
We order from here once a week, and love it, but its run by young kids, who are probably stoned, or hell, maybe they just dont care. But, our order is always ready when they say it will be, and its always right. Friendly and customer service oriented? No. Great pizza? Yes.

I was looking for a late night meal that was anything but mcdonalds. Decided on this. OMG it’s delicious! Why is pizza so good at 12:30am on a Wednesday? Maybe because it’s from Howie’s!

I had to update my review because tonight we ordered their cheesy bread. A calorie laden, cheesy, buttery box of deliciousness. I think we paid as much for the cheesy bread as the pizza (large 1 topping carryout special), but it was worth it! We’ve never had a problem with the service here, and the prices are great for a game night family meal.

Your five bucks couldn’t find a better home, especially at night. Where else do you know open till four in the morning that can feed two people for five bucks? It’s ridiculously good value. No, it’s not pizza hut, but it’s more than half as good at just half the price. Again, it’s open till 4AM and they will even deliver! (but delivery price is six not five plus delivery charges and tip, but even then who else do you know making pizza at this time or this price?).
If you have an extra 50 cents you need to get the steak pizza wtih a cajun butter crust but they have a huge list of toppings and crusts get this one late night and you’ll never go to mcdonald’s or nicos ever again.

This is a pretty good pizza. I love that they do the flavored crusts — my fave is the butter cheese — and if you do the large 1-​topping its also a great deal (either $ 5 or $ 6 depending on when you go… seems like they keep trying to up the price to $ 6, but maybe get complaints or something because then it always goes back to $ 5???)
My husband would be appalled that I’m only giving 4 instead of 5 stars because he’s OBSESSED! But the reason they only get 4 is that their «large» is really not that big compared to other pizza places — more like a medium size at other establishments. Also, unless you are doing the large 1-​topping, the rest of their specialty pizzas/​salads/​sandwiches, etc., really aren’t that great of a value. Most pizza places constantly run specials but I find that the fliers for Hungry Howies really aren’t «special» prices… you go to the store and find that the same prices are listed on the menu and they just send fliers making you think you’re getting a deal when really that’s just the regular price.
