Hungry Howie's Pizza — Restaurant in Mentor

ANOTHER UPDATE 9/24/22: Well, went back again tonight for our usual deep dish just to make sure things were really back to normal and they were!! Delicious pizza and the old staff was there along with Sal. Decided to change my 1 star rating from the original review to 5 star since I think things are truly fixed. For those of you who left because things got so bad, I hope you read this and go back because you won't be disappointed!

UPDATE 9/17/22: Such good news!! We ordered our usual deep dish thinking this could possibly be our last Hungry Howie pizza based on the past 3 weeks, but we're so happy that's not the case!! When we went to pick it up, the old crew was there!! YEA!!!! Welcome back to Vince, Connor and Julie!! Boy were you guys missed. Don't know how this happened, but we're really happy it did. The pie was the pie we knew and expected to get every week. Things are all good again.

We have been ordering pizza from this Hungry Howie for 2 years almost every Saturday night. To do this we obviously were happy with the pizza and the people that worked there we wonderful and fun. I don't know what on earth happened in the last 3 weeks, but the last 3 pizzas were not good at all. Week one was supposed to have extra sauce and light cheese. The pie was dry and had so little cheese you could hardly see it. We actually put some cheese on at home and popped it back in the oven. Week 2 we ordered extra sauce with regular cheese. It was still dry and had so much cheese we could hardly eat it. Week 3 today was supposed to be extra sauce and light cheese. Both were barely visible and obviously couldn't be tasted. We going to give this one more try, but we're SO disappointed with what's going on at this location. We loved this place, the team and the pizza, but if this upcoming week is the same as the past 3...

Had gone here in the past and primarily always got the sub sandwich which had been really good up until recently. Stopped for lunch to get a turkey club sub this time and waited the usual 10 minutes and discovered after leaving the store they had put no lettuce or tomato on the sub. Went back into store and server explained they don't put lettuce or tomato on the subs anymore and it's usually put on the side. Well I was never asked if I even wanted it on the side. Server probably put lettuce and tomato into two small containers and back into my box. I left to go eat the sandwich and discovered he give me mayonnaise which I never got with this sub before. It was always Italian dressing. The quality of the sandwich was nowhere as good as it was in the past. The bread was overcooked and cold and a little soggy in places.. and the lettuce and tomato I was given in separate containers were stale. The sub also had a soapy odor to it. Unfortunately this will probably be my last visit to Hungry Howie's. I would rather spend $8 somewhere else and get a way...

I order from hungry Howie's at this location frequently. Long time customer, and I tip well. I really wasn't sure what to do for dinner but I got a double add from Facebook for a large 1 topping and add 3 bucks for stuffed crust. Well, first off there was no stuffed crust available, how? Don't you just put cheese in the crust? I've been tripping in the woods and was able to order a stuffed crust pizza from a trailer for like 10 bucks and it was way better than the 51% off "the works" pizza I bought today. They were so skimpy on the sauce and the toppings I may as well have ordered a flipping cheese pizza instead of literally the most expensive one. Ugh. I could have driven to Garrettsville and spent less money on gas and a stuffed crust pizza loaded with toppings but they're not open on Wednesday. I really hope you blame the tariffs or Trump for this. Most disappointing order from this...
