The pizza starts off with a sesame seed Flavored Crust that's topped with a ketchup and mustard sauce in place of traditional pizza sauce before being paired with a mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend. The pizza is then treated to ample amounts of ground beef, pickles, bacon, tomatoes, red onions and a secret spice blend to give it the flavor of a freshly prepared burger in every bite. Hungry Howie's Backyard Burger Pizza is a limited time offering arriving now at participating locations alongside the returning [Pickle Bacon Ranch Pizza](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limited-time-pickle-pizza) and the Dill Pickle Flavored Crust through September 30, 2024.
