Hungry Howie’s is shaking things up when it comes to crust options with the debut of its new Chili Cheese Crust.
Dubbed the 'Flavored Crust of the Quarter,' the new Chili Cheese Crust is a major upgrade from ordinary pizza crust. The new version combines intensely cheesy flavors with just the right amount of spice for that signature chili cheese flavor. As Jeff Rinke, Vice President of Marketing and Product Development at Hungry Howie's, explains, "“We’re thrilled to launch our Chili Cheese Crust, a creative fusion of big flavors that are sure to elevate the experience in all pairings. Our Flavored Crust lineup is constantly evolving, and we are excited to introduce these savory flavors for guests to enjoy for a limited time."
The new Chili Cheese Crust is available nationwide for a limited time.
