Hungry Howie’s 2025 Year in Review: Flavor, Innovation and Bold Moves

2025 did not ease in gently. It showed up loud and a little bit on the crazy side. Anyone remember the UFO siting? For Hungry Howie’s, 2025 was the year we doubled down on what we do best. Flavor-first thinking, the best pizza deals and menu moves that felt fun. From Secret Menu drops to continued crust innovations that sparked real buzz, Hungry Howie’s kept pizza delivery feeling fresh all year long.

Here's our scroll-worthy moments and a whole lot of Flavored Crust® pizza along the way.

Pizza Secret Menu Surprise: The Hangry Howie Debuts

February brought an early plot twist. Hungry Howie’s quietly rolled out a new Secret Menu favorite, the Hangry Howie. No big countdown. No hype overload. Just a bold pizza that fans immediately started talking about.

Still available for pizza delivery or takeout, the Hangry Howie lives where flavor experiments belong. Off-menu. A little rebellious yet fully intentional. Curious what else is hiding? The full Secret Menu is waiting.

Hungry Howie’s Pizza Deals Go Nationwide

Value had a big year too. Nationwide there were fantastic pizza deals, giving customers more flexibility to build exactly what they wanted. 

These weren’t wimpy promos. They were pizza deals that made ordering easier, more customizable, and more fun. The kind of deals fans want.

Pizza Crust Creativity on Full Display

If 2025 had a flavor storyline, this was it.

• Early in the year, we released two limited-time crust flavors: Chili Cheese Flavored Crust® in Q1, followed by the delicious Everything Bagel Flavored Crust® in Q2. 

• April kicked things off with the Flavor Waiver, a new way to lean into pizza-now type decisions through Howie Rewards.

• May 26^th we turned attention to Stuffed Crust pizza, reminding everyone why it never goes out of style.

• June brought heat with TNT Howie Bread and TNT Flavored Crust®, both limited-time and nice and spicy.

• August followed with Sweet Heat Bacon Flavored Crust®, blending smoky, sweet, and big taste all in one bite.

Every move reinforced what Hungry Howie’s has owned for decades. This is the home of Flavor, Crust, and Pizza.

Detroit-Style Pizza Joins the Lineup

Let’s move back to July for a hot second. July delivered a big moment in the way of Detroit-Style Pizza. Supremely tasty, it officially landed at Hungry Howie’s, bringing thick, airy crust and edge-to-edge flavor to the table. 

A different shape and bite but the same commitment to doing it right. For pizza fans who like their slices big and thick, this one was a hit. Need a refresher on Detroit-Style vs. Deep Dish? We got the dish here.

Celebrating Crust: National Flavored Crust Day

August 14^th marked a first for Hungry Howie. National Flavored Crust Day became official, celebrating the innovation that started it all. Fans shared their go-to flavors, from Garlic Herb to Cajun, and everything in between.  It’s always been about choice, and Hungry Howie’s never stops pushing flavor forward.
