Hungry Howie's Pizza
Hungry Howie's Pizza & Subs operates a chain of franchised pizza parlors in more than 20 states, primarily Michigan and Florida. Offering carry-out and delivery service, the pizzerias serve several varieties of pie, as well as calzone-style sub sandwiches, salads, and chicken wings. It also offers flavored crusts for its pizzas. Some franchisees are supplied with ingredients through company-owned commissaries, while others are supplied by third-party distributors. James Hearn opened the first Hungry Howie's in 1973; company president Steve Jackson got his start at Hungry Howie's delivering pizzas.
