[edit] History

Hungry Howie's was founded in 1973 by James R. Hearn. Steven E. Jackson delivered pizzas for Hearn at this time and the two formed a partnership. Jackson and Hearn decided to franchise their operation in 1982, and they awarded their first franchise in 1983. 65 franchises were opened in the next three years and 160 franchises were present by the end of the 1980s.

Not only does Hungry Howie's offer regular pizza, but it also offers a lower carb pizza.
