As we inch closer to the end of the first quarter of this new millennia, one can't help but notice a decline in the overall quality of fast food. Pizza seems to be no exception with the big chains continuing to dominate most of the market. Each year our "Microwave Society" appears to be screaming for more of the same: Bigger, better, faster, stronger. Taste, quality, freshness, consistency, These all seem to take a back seat to the aforementioned. Tip for success? Throw some sauce on cheese bread and zap it in the oven for a quick 30, have it hot and ready for me in that famous brown box and you've got yourself a deal for most Americans. Most Americans that is. For the rest of us, however, there's a few gems out there. Hungry Howies is one of those gems. I can honestly say that I cannot remember having pizza that tasted this good. I have tried four items on the menu and each has been delicious. I won't mention the price, if you're worried about the cost then there's a little caesars down the street. If you work hard and value your health and taste buds like myself, then I highly recommend Uncle Howie's. Take it from a guy who doesn't take the time to write reviews for almost anything. Trust me, this sh*t's fire. read more

Hungry Howie's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Tehachapi, California

Back in January 2026 I ordered a pizza for delivery- it took them over an hour to get my pizza delivered. They told me that I would get a free order of bread sticks with my next order. Today was my next order- no they would not comp me an order of bread sticks. There are other options for pizza in town and I will start ordering them. read more

please go to two brothers by Albertsons. They are the best pizza in the area. Drive past this place it is not good . horrible customer service. Said he sat in front of my house for 20 minutes didn't honk. The phone had the wrong phone number. Then they won't redeliver the pizza. Since they have new owners, it has been horrible burnt pizza nasty. And bad customer service. read more

Not worth it and its pricy for the food you get . Not recommend honestly better off getting a pizza at Walmart and throw it in the oven . Sorry just being honest read more

The quality here has gone down in recent years, the staff is for the most part friendly and doing the best they can. it seems like they never have many people working at once, even on the weekends. The environment is good, except sometimes the music playing from the back is vulgar. The prices no longer reflect the quality, dough is pretty dry and flat, less toppings and takes much longer than it used to. read more

Ordered Deep Dish The Works w/Butter Cheese Crust. AND......O.M.G.! was it amazing! Had it for dinner last night and lunch today! Still tastes the same warmed up! That crust though... the toppings...everything was so good! Salads were huge! Bone in wings were pretty good too! My standards are high now...whom ever made this pizza did an amazing job! I hope the pizza is consistently good every time I order it! Thanks Hungry Howie's Pizza in Tehachapi! Oh yeah it was delivered...so I don't know how the inside of the restaurant was lol read more

I was surprised to see one of these outside of Michigan! The location is great for somebody looking for food out near tehachapi. The interior was clean, basic fast food style but I don't think there is a public bathroom. The staff was friendly. The good was good but it is heavier pizza-esque food style so a lot won't help your heart a lot. read more

Their garden salad is very good. I didn't care for the Italian herb crust as much as others I've tried. Also, I prefer the thin crust, but I wish it wasn't extra $. read more

I went to a party in a park, and the hosts had ordered pepperoni and several other types of pizza from Hungry Howies. I can't remember the price, but it was really really reasonable or good size, it seems like maybe medium sizes, and although it was a little greasy it was really really good. Great pepperoni and I was a happy camper and so were the others. read more

My Son is very picky. He absolutely loves Hungry Howies CHEESE PIZZA with butter cheese crust. He's six but he is a foodie when it comes to slices of pizza read more

My daughter Asked for the mac & cheese pizza and it was pretty and also ordered a sausage and ham asked well done and the crust was caramelized and crispy with a nice undercarriage really good .A flatbread pizza asked Well done for my wife. Overall, we ordered ahead of time on the app got some great coupons and it was delivered hot and fresh right on time. Everything was perfect. I really don't have no complaints. Other than they should offer stuffed crust in the mac & cheese pizza and another cool thing is they're also on the Slice app read more

The garlic crust must be my favorite thing on any pizza The staff is very nice and luckily they deliver to my house read more

Wanted to update and add a star for this order. Jonathon N. took my order and didn't seem to mind that asked about all the specials. For some reason I don't have good luck with the app which is a bummer because you earn rewards. We ordered a large cheese pizza and one of their deals, medium 3 topping pizza for 9.99. Total for order $30. Pizza was here at time they quoted. Delivery person had on a mask, I appreciate that! I apologize to him, my son went to the door and forgot to put his mask on. Pizza was hot and yummy! read more

Very basic pizza, not much to write home about. A medium pizza with pepperoni, green pepper, and mushrooms was $21 with delivery no more than 6 blocks away. Arrived promptly and hot, but with no cheese or hot peppers. The pizza would have benefited greatly from both:-)) This is a skip next time as there is better pizza in town. read more

Nicole was very attentive in providing service at front and back of the pizza place. Pizza was good and wings were great as well.was passing by from New Mexico State and was worth the exit. read more

We found Hungry Howies when we were staying at the Fairfield Suites. We read other reviews comments and decided to get pizza from here. Oh my gosh it was delicious. We got a medium meat pizza and a baked chic chip cookie. Service was quick and pizza and cookie were delicious. The extra marinara sauce was delicious also.We usually visit Tehachapi twice a year so we'll remember Hungry Howies next time we're in town. read more

First... when I called in our order the young man that took my order took the time to explain what their pizza was all about without being condescending...he was knowledgeable and service oriented. Second...the pizza although not the greatest I've ever tasted was still delicious. Hot enough to burn your face off with the first bite...great blend of cheese and greasy...just the way we like...apparently they have this thing where they flavor your crust, it sounded weird to me then I tried it and I was hooked and all we got was the butter and cheese.... Third and most important....their Howie bread with the cinnamon and sugar was completely addicting...I almost wanted to just eat that by itself... A good little place for good pizza...you won't go wrong stopping here. read more

My FAVORITE pizza everrrr the garlic crust and garlic bread is the best!! The service is good and the food

I hope you know what you're getting into: cheap pizza with delicious flavored crust. Expecting anything else is setting yourself up for disappointment. I can't recommend the Cajun crust enough -- it makes it all worthwhile. Howies is cheaper *and* tastes more like "small-town pizza" than PizzaHut, Dominoes, or Papa Johns, all of which have a fake, mega-corp taste and texture. If you hate pizza from the big three chains like I do, try Howies. If you like Little Caesars, well...that's really weird and a little disturbing. Howies is nothing like Little Caesars, thank god. I wouldn't feed Little Caesars to my worst enemy. p.s. Thin crust is a 90s fad that should have died long ago. read more

I had not eaten at a Hungry Howie's in I don't know how long. I used to live near a Las Vegas location but that was a long time ago. So when my family in Tehachapi mentioned this brand, I jumped at the opportunity to hit it up for a pizza the night before Easter Sunday. My family had been ordering a large 2-topping pizza which had been on special for $10.99. That special is no longer offered. What we ended up ordering was a large 1-topping and garlic bread for $15. Not a terrible deal. There is only one table in this location and we felt uncomfortable eating there but it was windy outside and taking the pizza home would leave it cold as my family doesn't live in Tehachapi propper. So we asked the staff if we could bring our waters in from the car and eat there. We were told we could. The staff behind the counter were very polite and accomodating. Our pizza, pepperoni with garlic crust, was good. Not my favorite pizza but it hit the spot. My only real complaint is that the crust was too thick and fluffy. I am more of a thin and crispy crust kind of guy. But the flavor was on-point. The garlic bread is where it was at though. Super hot, fluffy and soft as could be (perfect for bread), drenched in butter and a ton of garlic flavor. It didn't need the cup of pizza sauce for dipping but the sauce was a nice addition anyhow. This Hungry Howie's is where my family goes for pizza in Tehachapi. I don't mind going there again next time I visit. I'm always down for pizza and Hungry Howie's makes a good one. read more

The restaurant is the same, but bad experience on their website when I learned I was trading privacy for convenience (why am I surprised?)

Tasty! Delivered quickly and hot! Would order from here again! The flavored crust is a great touch!

So sad to say I am Not a fan of this place. First time trying it, and my last. Pizza tasted like little caesars pizza but thicker. It was sooooo greasy/buttery. And the crust was BURNT. (Two stars because they were fast. (Food wise, there's so much better in town.) read more

It's one of the better pizza places in town. Not a fan of the Howie bread and prices are a bit high.

My favorite pizza place. The flavored crust is awesome. I always go with the garlic herb crust with extra flavor. Always eat to much when I order it read more

Perfectly good pizza. Cheap and good. Better than little Cesar's by far. To me at least. Passing through town and needed a quick bite. Tasty! Kids liked it too. Kinda wish I had one of these pizza places where I lived. Kudos to the purple haired counter woman too. She was very nice. Enjoy! read more

This is my second time coming here. Loved it the first time and the family decided to make it "our pizza spot". The wings were also good. This second time, pizza was still delicious but we decided to get a salad and they messed it up that order. read more

Johnny's Take and Bake is superior, but you'll need an oven. Most people driving through Tehachapi will want decent pizza on-the-go. This would be my #2 pizza option in Tehachapi. read more

We've gone several times recently because the pizza is delicious. Lots of choices how you want the type of pizza, we really like their deep dish thick crust, what flavor you want the crust, what type of sauce and all the different toppings. We don't eat meat so we order the veggie, it's excellent. They don't skimp, they give you lots of each ingredient and if you want even more just order xtra of that item. The crust is somehow light and airy. The taste is phenomenal. By their name and to look at the place you'd never know how really good it is. read more

First time in town, great service, well decorated toppings on pizzas and reasonably priced for taste and quality as well. Will eat here again! read more

This is my family's go to Pizza place!! They love the flavored crust.. the Howie bread is wayyyy better than crazy bread!!! It's easy to order, fast friendly delivery!! Everyone has to at-least try Hungry Howies once.. u will love it!!! read more

Their customer service is terrible. I ordered online and came into pick up. When we walked in literally everyone in the store looked at us, but ignored us and continued chit chatting. Eventually someone comes up and does not say a word to me, I have to tell him I'm there for a pick up and what my name is. He shoves a receipt across the counter for me to sign and before I finish signing I'm looking up at three boxes two inches from my face. We were pleasant the whole time and not ONE word was spoken to us. We did enjoy the pizzas, but I won't patronize a business that doesn't speak to their customers. read more

There was a need for an impromptu luncheon up in Tehachapi so I asked the some of of nephews what we should. The answer was Howies. We drove over and ordered a ton of grub. The service was top notch and was very helpful. The facility itself is just a storefront and not really a place to dine at. It was clean though. The grub was decent enough... Bordering between fairly decent and meh... read more

We ordered from here the other night. We bought 3 specialty pizzas (which we never see a deal for), this made it a costly purchase. My wife forgot to order a cheese pizza for the youngest one. When she called back, right after the driver left and she noticed, she was told that dollar amount was not enough for delivery. Keep in mind we just spent $70 dollars. My wife asked for the manager and the owner got on the phone and would not help. My wife canceled the order and called another pizza shop in town for the cheese one. Poor customer service. read more

Always our go to for ordering pizza for a large group at work. Easy online ordering in the morning and pick up early to accommodate lunch. Always friendly and the variety of pizza is great! Thank you! read more

Very reasonable priced food it's ready as quick as little chasers but taste as good as Pizza Hut

My first visit was today nov 28th 2020 I bought the family combo I was very happy it was hot on time and had good flavors it was just over 30 dollars for two lg pizza but well worth it I also received a calendar and two coffee cups lol the young man was very kind I will be returning read more

Had a less than desirable experience at Hungry Howie's Pizza... tonight. We ordered 2 pizzas..., when our pizza arrived we noticed there was no cheese in the middle and had a terrible experience when contacting the manager who argued instead of offering to make it right. When I brought the pizza in the manager was beyond rude and gave me a "This pizza is acceptable. The cheese must have shifted during delivery". At this point I didn't want a remake just a refund of that half of my order to which she replied I can do 10$ after I had paid 30$+ not including delivery and tip. They're managers could really use some training in hospitality. Save your money and go somewhere else that has some customer service! My family and will be taking our business somewhere else from now on. read more

Stopped in for a quick snack. Got a Howie Roll -Pepperoni. These are awesome, for $3.50 you get a really "good size roll" that's filling and piping hot! Taste just like a pepperoni pizza - just portable! Wish i would have discovered this sooner - but hey, now I know! read more
