Ron W.

I feel like Roy Rogers when it comes to pizza, I've never met one that I didn't like! Frozen, delivery, deep-dish or thin crust, I'll eat it all. But there are some that are better than others and Hungry Howie's is exactly that, a bit better than your standard chain delivery pizza. This location is the only one in the Triangle, hidden on a corner of Oberlin Road in Five Points. Their pizza specialty is flavored crust with eight tasty flavas! Their pies aren't that big, the large is only 14" but it makes up for it in pizza density! The crust is pretty light and doughy, reminds me a bit of Pizza Hut but a bit better. They go heavy on the toppings which is great, Hungry Howie's uses good ingredients. Overall a very solid pizza that's fresh, tasty and greasy, thumbs up! Hungry Howie's is a step up from Domino's and the Hut but not quite as good as Capital Creations. But you know what, they're super close to me and prices are reasonable ($16 for large Meat-eaters pie), so I may become Chubby Ron in the near future...

Extra sausage....maybe not

Love your pizza, but your toppings have gotten very slim last 3 orders. Pizza below was not "lite" or "normal", it was 2x normal or at least it was supposed to be. Feel like I should get a free pizza as it was kind of a let down.

Large Original Round Pepperoni with Flavored Sesame Seed Crust.

I saw an advertisement in my hotel this evening for the Hungry Howie's on Oberlin, and realized how long it had been since I'd had any - about a decade ago, when I was still living in Florida. Looks like they've come a long way with the online ordering sector since then, and their food is still great. What makes the pizza unique are the free "flavored" crusts that come at no additional charge - you can get sesame seeds, butter, ranch, garlic, etc. All crust types are available, but the traditional round is always great - a little bit on the thicker side, and a little heavy on the mozzarella cheese. The bread is really good too. Definitely recommend.

10/10 experience as always. Still my go to spot every time I travel to Raleigh for work. I was sad…read moreto see that they adjusted their hours a little and don't open until 1pm due to low foot traffic and slow business for them. The chef was very kind and made us a little extra for lunch- such a great guy! Thank you for always making your food with a lot of love and care. The rigatoni alla vodka is still to die for and I haven't found another place that comes close to it in Raleigh or Charlotte. Encourage everyone to support this local, small business!!! The food is awesome here!!! They also have more budget friendly lunch options too- just give them a call.

I had been looking forward to trying this place for a while with my family but we all left a little…read moredisappointed. The restaurant is nice and dimly lit with plenty of seating, but you will have to find street parking around Glenwood. We were a party of 6 and they pulled together tables to accommodate us. Our server was a little slow but still friendly. For starters we got a Margherita pizza, calamari, the grilled caesar, and they brought us a complimentary bread basket with oil. Everything except the caesar was good. I guess we didn't expect the caesar to taste THAT charred and the lettuce to not be chopped. For main entrees, we ordered lasagna, lobster ravioli, penne alla vodka, and alfredo. The vodka pasta and lasagna were unflavored and disliked among the table. I would not recommend those dishes. The alfredo was okay. The best dish was the lobster ravioli.

Still one of my favorite pizza pies 15 years later. I just love this place. Great spot to meet up…read morewith friends and share a pie.

Once upon a time, this place wasn't just a pizza restaurant--it was a pilgrimage site. People…read morewhispered about its crust like it was sacred text, and its awards lined the walls like a shrine to melted cheese and triumph. "Best Pizza" many years running back when that actually meant something. Now? It feels less like a restaurant and more like a nostalgic reenactment gone very wrong. The menu still reads like a dream--Carolina crust this, atomic sauce that--but ordering has become a real exercise in imagination. Half the ingredients are apparently on a spiritual journey and no longer physically present. You'll ask for sharp cheddar and get a thoughtful pause, followed by, "We don't have sharp cheddar, we might have a Wisconsin sharp cheddar?" --which, to their credit, has the word "cheddar" in it. The staff move with the energy of a group project that everyone forgot was due today. Pizzas emerge... interpretively. You might order a margherita and receive something that captures its essence, emotionally, if not structurally. It's less "wrong order" and more "pizza as a suggestion." A master of creative problem-solving, this cashier has boldly redefined the concept of "making change." Why fumble with buttons and math when you can simply hand over two beers and call it even? It's less of a transaction and more of a surprise gift exchange--one where the rules are unclear and the outcome is mildly concerning. And the wine list--oh, the wine list--is a beautiful historical document. A relic. A time capsule from at least six months ago, when bottles still existed and hope flowed freely. Now, asking for wine feels like asking about a long-lost friend. "We don't have that," they'll say, gazing into the middle distance. Still, there's something oddly annoying about it all. Like walking into a once-revered theater that still clings to its golden-age reputation. The performances feel like echoes rather than art, the lighting flat where it once dazzled, and every scene drags with the weight of trying to live up to a forgotten past. It's not bad enough to be a disaster--just disappointing enough to make you wonder if the hype was ever real or if you're just eating the ghost of someone else's great experience. Cheers!
