  • 2/5 Off The Hook C. 5 years ago on Google • 29 reviews
    I ordered a large 2 topping and a medium specialty for pick-up today for the Bolts game. I walk in to pick up my order only to find a customer and an employee going at it. Customer was furious as the employee had been rude to him and a very bad exchange of profanity between the two. The customer had requested to speak to a manager and or a telephone number for a district manager but only to be told that they were franchise and that he was out of luck. Customer tried to get me involved in their conversation and I only wanted to pick up my food and leave. I checked both pizzas to find the large one was burnt and the medium seemed fine. I grabbed both boxes and escaped the madness as quick as I could. Instead of trying to deal with the burnt pizza I decided I would go ahead and take it up with corporate from my home. Luckily the medium pizza was very good and perfectly prepared. The large on the other hand was burnt and dry. I did order pizza a couple days from there and I did notice a very lazy attitude from the employees and annoyed when I asked about their specials but again I just wanted to get my dinner and go home. I do hope that corporate steps in and rectifies the attitudes of this store’s staff.

    The young lady who waited on us did an excellent job. Her cook staff was excellent as well. Sorry, I didn't take any photos of our (mine) combination deluxe and wings 😋 . Nor did I get any of my Nanbaby and her boyfriend's double pepperoni and sausage baked hot sub with their boneless chicken 🐔 bites. Eating on the run. Lol This one. Was located on N. Florida Ave, just before Bearss.

    Well sitting in my truck watching the guys make pizza there is a couple of concerns I have like a couple of the drivers drinking beer while driving orders and walking in too get my pizza and there is two guys there that work around the food and I've have seen them touch there hair and go to the pizza table where they make our pizza with out washing there hands and then take money and and go back touching food. The mangers that work at night sitting on his phone while the business phone is ringing and he just calls someone else to answer the phone but he is right there??? He wears a ball cap back wards really guy your lazy!!!!

    Wife order two large pies for me to pick up, when I asked lady tells me my wife ordered one. I asked to add the second one. Everything is cool I don’t mine. However I go back in because it was 15 minute wait which I don’t mine. She is talking to her coworker tell him “only if people knew english to make the orders”. This is a problem for me. She should consider not working in food service if she can’t tolerate people who are not proficient in english.

    Nostalgia waits or do we seek its honey like hive robbers clipping away the sepia toned imagery. Creating a collage of red stringed connections in hopes of discovering patterns in its hidden physics. Examining pieces applied with messy paste of embellishment to cope with hopes of the return of reproducible yesteryears. Validation is never satisfied nor easily distracted as our impairment grows we tire of filtering its reminders that the boxes we have created shrink with us in them. Sure money can create opportunities to fill calendar days with prearranged vacations and theatrics. Yet it isn't natural. A question is asked or an arouma triggers an eclipes as a rising sense accompanies a welcoming invite to share details and laugh honestly at the past of well lived moments. To share is no little thing I can make it as big as I want or I can ignore the call to freely give. I choose to shamelessly embrace the gravity of our subconscious universe as capable of alignments with visuals abstract imprints alive and coursing with reigniting embers seized by impulses magnetic wind driven in an atmosphere sprinkled with the glitter reflection of conscious awareness. No regard for time yielding a tide no compass can follow or plot. We are to be present and absent to the reaction as we glide upon rays to feast on a patch of sweetness among a forest of archives. The rings speak of the souls health and well being. Impossible to take in all thats abundant as its overwhelming what has been grasped by the effect of the unseen work of the spirit of seasons. Such is the quality of the rekindled moment. You don't have to fill your pockets with the same artifact to know, feel, and remember to have loved the experience. All that said to say: I use to live in walking distance from an apartment complex that use to be named Windwood Oaks, fact check me someone. I'd swear under oath to 2 things in my 2 decades in Tampa Bay. #1 that particular location has always been a Hungry Howies and when I lived there without fail they made the best Cheesy Bread Sticks in the county. While the other locations were good that location had the best! #2 I don't care for their pizza menu at all at any location and wouldn't recommend it as a matter of personal taste. Yet, I'd gladly be there thrice a week for them sticks... Take from that what you will. Oh, also HH has the best crews in my opinion overall! Short story (promise.) One of their vending machines was broke when I came to pick up... What?... A) Pizza B) Desert C) Bread Sticks or D) Fake Gold Directions To a Pawn Shop? Anyway I didn't have enough for the cold 2 liter. The guy just gave it to me without a second glance. I gave him a tip.

    I highly advise not ordering from this Hungry Howie's. The past 3 times I've tried to order the food is either inedible, cold, burnt, or it never got delivered so I was told to pick it up and once I got there the order wasn't in and they didn't have record of my order at all. Extremely disappointing as Hungry Howie's is usually great and fast pizza.

    8/18/2022 Found a Hair from guys beard on my pizza.* Other than that minor mistake they do have good customer service. Picked up pizza and the lady brought our food out to us instead of having to go back in when it was ready (benefit of being parked in front perhaps, not sure.) I don't order delivery because it's quicker to pick up.

    Was very disappointed with my first experience here in early 2020. In the recent months this Hungry Howies has gotten better and better. Very pleased with the food and friendliness of the delivery drivers. Prompt delivery and awesome pizza. Fair prices. Thank you.

  • 5/5 Daniel F. 2 years ago on Google
    I get take out at least twice a week from here. It's always good and always ready pretty quick. By the time I order and get myself together to go pick it up, it's usually hot and ready when I get there. If it's not, it's definitely ready within 5 minutes. I get a couple pizzas and that feeds our 4 person family with a few slices left over for late night snack or breakfast or what have you. I wish they had more variety for desserts, but overall highly recommend for good, decently priced za!

    Wow never have I been in a nasty place like yhis no one wears gloves or hair nets smoking outside come in and don't even wash their hands Asked for a refund which i was denied that's OK cause I will call code enforcement to go there and shut them down until they fix all the violations that the employees are doing !!! Buyer beware

    Everyone is really amazing. The pizza is good. Over all very awesome.

  • 1/5 Katie D. 5 months ago on Google • 23 reviews
    Pizza is always good when I order from here but you all gave a a brown rotten salad. The lettuce was brown and the tomatoes had brown spots. I cannot believe they served a salad like that. Double charged me for my drinks and forgot my garlic sauce.

  • 3/5 Ivana A. 9 months ago on Google • 19 reviews
    My service was fast, and my salad, I'm sure would have been great, except I did not eat it; the employee was courteous and professional. The only reason why I did not give 5 stars is because the employee did not wear gloves to make my salad nor wash his hands prior to handling my food. I did not say a word, but I threw the food away and then went to another spot for food.

    Sent an email about an order,took 15 minutes to answer phone,put me on hold for another 10 minutes.the guy that answered the phone sounded intoxicated.he never did help me.plz check on these employees.

  • 2/5 PR F. 2 years ago on Google
    Sad to see this pizza place is changing the way they used to make awesome pizza just a few weeks ago... Now they have a "saucing machine" which spreads the sauce out automatically, shrinking the area of the pizza where the good ingredients are; pepperoni, cheese, etc., giving you less good stuff and more bread edge... about another inch of bread edge....Booooo

  • 1/5 MIgdy J. 1 year ago on Google
    Pizza was over cook almost burn..! I like their pizza but they always over cooked them...can't even taste any cheese.

  • 2/5 gypsi r. 1 year ago on Google
    I am a regular customer there and order by phone every Friday night and my roommate goes and picks it up since it is right down the street from me. I called there tonight to order my usual pizza and the guy on the other end had me tell him my same order 3 times... A meat lovers stuffed butter cheese crust which is a simple order. Three times I asked him when it would be ready for pickup and every time he said he didn't know until he places the order. I repeated this order 3 times! He is asking for my phone number, rattling off addresses and other conversation instead of answering my simple question. It became too much so I hung up!!!

  • 3/5 David H. 2 years ago on Google
    Good place. Hard to find at night and staff tends to be lazy and forgot to take pizza out in time. If you like your pizza burnt this is your place.

  • 1/5 Spa c. 1 year ago on Google
    I purchased a large pizza after receiving a coupon for 4$ After I pick up the pizza, I was alerted by my card that I was charged twice .The second transaction was for for 42.29$ without my consent I notified corporate and police Dept due to the manager on clock was very disrespectful and did want to assist me in resolving this fraud

  • 5/5 Briana C. 1 year ago on Google
    I always order ahead on the app and my pizza is ready on time. I love a good deal when I don’t feel like cooking.

  • 1/5 Jacob I. 2 years ago on Google
    Called at 1130 and then back at 1145 and the lady told me she’s done taking orders 30 mintues befor they close and then hang up on me after I offered to pay a bit extra to throw in my pizza. Real classy service top notch

  • 5/5 Rudy G. 1 year ago on Google
    There was a woman working there tonight, and I watched her calmly resolve three people's issues very favorably, while serving me and also guiding her team. She probably does not get paid enough, but she represents Howie's tremendously. People like her make me beam. The food was awesome, too. C'mon, it's Hungry Howie's

  • 4/5 stephanie p. 1 year ago on Google
    I love hungry Howie's Pizza, especially their stuffed crust. I used to love Pizza Hut but now I love hungry Howie's and I order it every single time I can. Why I gave it four stars? You ask?? Because they put me on hold for 20 minutes and then hung up on me two times. The third time I called they took my order.
