| - 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.
