My favorite chain pizza ever! I love and crave this pizza all the time. There must be something truly addictive in the flavored crust. It's always perfectly cooked and the service is friendly. Plus, it reminds me of OU, so how can you go wrong? I recommend the Cajun crust if you like a little kick. I pretty much stick with that and the garlic herb with pepperoni pizza. Delicious.

Amazing deep dish pizza! Always HOT like it just came out of the oven! Reliable quality and FAST delivery!!! Crust is always crispy on the bottom and not soggy like other places. We have tried to give those other pizza places a chance, but Hungry Howie's is our GO TO. Great for having parties or if you just want a great tasty pizza!

Yes, I am giving Hungry Howies 5-stars. Why? Because when I lived in Kent, I lived next door to one and it never let me down. Now that I again live near by, they continue to never let me down. I always order the garlic & herb crust with whatever toppings I want at the time. There customer service is awesome too! Oh and if I only had the crust with some of their garlic sauce, I'd be good to go. Seriously, for all you garlic lovers out there, make sure to order the garlic & herb crust. You will not be sorry. Hungry Howies is the BEST!

I've doing Hungry Howies at least once a month for the last few years. They are fast and have a good selection. My favorite is the garlic crust and I like how they have green olives, unlike most pizza places.

I prefer Hungry Howie's to any other chain (national or local, really) but not to some place like Angelo's. The flavored crust and Howie bread area truly delicious but the overall quality of this pizza is not that high. However, the price also reflects that. It's very inexpensive and they always give you more coupons. It's my go to if I want pizza but don't feel like splurging. Quick delivery usually, too!

Not Donatos (definitely 5 star chain pizza), but not Papa John's either (generous 2 star chain pizza). Hungry Howie's has satisfied a hungry Andrea a time or two. Sometimes I'm just lazy and want food, what can I say. HH is literally about 50 yards from my house so that definitely helps me steer toward this place, but it's actually decent pizza. Great deals - usually can get a large 2 topping for 10 bucks (take that Pizza Hut) - and you choose from one of about 6 or so 'flavored crusts'. This is their signature thing at HH. Pretty much just some seasoning cooked onto the crust, but it is very good. We've had the Cajun and Garlic so far. Both pretty good but I'd have to say the garlic was better. The restaurant itself is nothing special but does have a reasonably sized seating area with both booths and tables. There's also a separate waiting area with benches if you're picking up and a Lakewood Observer for you to flip through while you wait. Overall it's cheap chain pizza that's fast and actually pretty tasty. Definitely not as greasy as the mainstream PJ or Domino's. Worth a try if you're in the mood for some cheap eats.

Stopped here on the way home from a theater production to get pizza. The employee who took our order was polite. The food was diligently prepared and upon arriving home, still hot and pretty good. If what you're looking for is a quick pizza, this is perfect. If you're looking for a fine Italian pizza, seek elsewhere.

good pizza for a good price. the delivery times could be improved that's why it doesn't get 5 stars

Hungry Howie's is to great pizza what Bud Light is to craft beer. In the interest of full disclosure, I rarely eat Hungry Howie's while I'm sober. In fact, as the beer in me increases, so too does the likelihood that I'll say "Yes, I would like to forgo all the other great pizza joints in town for Hungry Howie's, because I'd like some Three Cheese Howie Bread." And therein lies the problem. One item on the menu reduces me to a quivering pile of jelly. For just a few dollars, I can innundate my stomach with something cheesy, garlicky and greasy, all in one bite. These are the best cheesy breadsticks in town, and like Pringles, once you pop, you can't stop. If they put toppings on this, this review would get four stars, and my belt would need four more notches. The pizza? If you remember Little Caesar's from the 80's, where you'd get two pizzas covered by a thin piece of paper then you've had Howie's pizza. What sets it apart is the flavored crust, which is one of my favorite parts of the pie. If it was stuffed crust, this review would get five stars, and my shirt size would need five X's instead of two. There's a ton of better pizza in Lakewood. But, there isn't a better cheesy breadstick, guaranteed. You should order Howies if you're drunk, have kids that like mediocre pizza, or don't have a ton of money. Otherwise? There's lots better out there.

While my general tendency is to stay away from chains, sometimes other factors (time, convenience, cost, etc.) will sway me from my path. Hungry Howie's allows me to do that and still feel ok about myself in the morning. It's not best pizza, but for chain-style stuff, I'd put it head and shoulders above most of the competition. The flavored crusts are a nice touch too. There's always some specials running, so a little cash can go a long way. On repeated visits the service has been consistently friendly, which is always appreciated. Turnaround time on orders is usually pretty good too. I've never had to wait more than 45 minutes on a Friday night at dinner time, and often it's been quicker. Hungry Howie's isn't great pizza, but it is good pizza, and that's a-ok by me.

The theme of tonight, coupons! Yeah, i hit Dave's Cosmic Subs and Howie's for a bargain bonanza of unhealthy grub. This coupon was $5 off of a $20 order. I've been here many times(they send a lot of coupons), but I try to refrain from reviewing franchises. That said, here's the skinny(appropriate word for pizza?): The extra large black olive with ranch crust was 14 bucks and was on par with Gepetto's or Roman Fountain. Not great, not horrible. The Howie bread was 3 bucks and is good with coffee in lieu of breadsticks or biscotti. Trying to get up to 20 was hard without ordering wings. Oh, how i f*cking miss wings! So i got the cajun bread at $3. It is spicy and will probably go well with a soup later in the week. Grand total=15 dollars. Combined with my Dave's purchase that made about $32 worth of food come in at around $20. Now i can use the scratch to get that tattoo of the Notre Dame fighting Irish guy i've always wanted. Just in time for St. Patty's day.

OK... I know I review a lot of pizza joints....well - I like Pizza. I do...like it, pizza is good...for any occasion. So---here we are staring at a chain restaurant that delivers exactly what it should. Always...excellent service, consistent delicious products, and a clean facility. The first hook is the the flavored crust! Hungry Howie's is the original flavored crust pizza. They sport 8 flavored Crust pizzas ( and they can mix'm up too if you are a nice salivating patron). Also, you can order Howie Bread ( ohh damn its good..covered is spices and Parm:dry style cheese), Howie Wings (ok) , Calzone Style Subs ( The best frikken item I have ordered from this exceptional chain!!!), 3-Cheese Bread( cheesier Howie bread: wet style w/Mozzarella etc) And Salads.....antipasto Salad? Really...do you wear your goat-leggings to church on Easter morning? WTF!!!!! Order more cheese bread..with the included marinara sauce chaser...are you eat'n like a splendid fool or nibbling like grazing rabbit???????geesh....but I digress. I love the sesame crust or garlic/herb ( w/ some sesame please !!!!YUM) The pizza is yeasty, the real proof- to- rise, and toss stuff...with cornmeal treatment to the bottom, saucy too. All Items can be ordered with their "spicy" pizza sauce...It is awesome, but I'm gettin' old and don't want to add the price of a bottle of Tums to my order. The open kitchen and dining area. bathrooms and EVERYTHING is spotless. ( and a bit dated IE: Sexy 1980's Flock-Of-Seagulls - Ah-Ha decor) ...so........ you have a problem with bright yellow decor and molded plastic laminate booths that you actually slide out of on occasion like a toboggan run? Wear your pleather pants ( like I do when I come to dine) No Problems. ahh...oh.., anyway.... Take out is quick and easy! The Calzone-Subs are the total draw...They are basically a small pizza, ( dough crust flavors apply here also) stuffed with goodness, and folded in half. So absolutely delish. I love the steak/mushroom/cheese..with mayo, oil..melted, then finished with some lettuce and tomato. Cost about $5.!!!! This place also has a "happy hour" special, where you pay the time on the clock when you order between 4:30-6:00 pm. ( IE: call at 5:30 and pay $5.30 for a medium 1 topping pie) Go here...eat much pizza...maybe get a "calzone sub" for the drive home, and 2-3 pizzas for later.... When I visit Cleveland, This a must-stop before I leave town Howie....oh fictional heart-congesting "what-me-worry" Poster Child of Pizza- I applaud you.

I thought their pizza was good. Not that big on the breadsticks. But I do like the different flavor crust. The time I went was around lunch time (12-ish) and it was pretty quiet in there.

Do you like giving dutch ovens to your partner? To yourself? Do you just like farting a lot? If you answered yes to any of those questions, call this place up and order the pizza with butter cheese crust. Do it on a Friday or Saturday night so you can be ripping all night while you try to pick up chicks! And if you do succeed, you can hit them off with that dutch oven!

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
