| - My first experience with Hungry Howie's was 20+ years ago and had been impressed. I was pleased when a store opened nearby. The taste and value paled when compared to childhood memories. The food was extremely greasy and smaller portions than recalled. While far from my debut experience, it was tasty and decent bang for your buck. I love the option of flavored crust being complimentary as sets it apart from other "budget" pizza options. We enjoyed the pepperoni pizza "roll" but was significantly smaller than I'd remembered. It's essentially a Strombolli. Options were steak, pepperoni or chicken. Being 2 for $6, I was reluctant to order steak or chicken that can be sold that cheap. I'm a bit finicky about meat quality, but the pepperoni seemed a safe bet. That said, was impressed by the flaky, perfectly browned crust. I love pizza sauce, so ordered it with extra sauce. While tasty, the roll had very little sauce or cheese. Luckily, they sell pre-portioned sides of their sauce, so that worked out fine. Next time, I'll splurge for extra cheese as would likely improve it greatly. This time, I ordered thin crust, usually a favorite. Unfortunatley, this thin crust lacked the texture/flavor of their original or that surrounding the sandwich. Eating without a fork a challenge. It did however taste decent. The bacon, beef and mushroom were sparse, but onion plentiful. I will likely order from Hungry Howies again, but not something I can't live without. The app wasn't terribly user friendly, but they got the entire order right, even with all my "special" requests. Something of a rarity these days.
