Hungry Howie’s, the originator of Flavored Crust® pizza, has recently announced the highly anticipated return of its Pickle Bacon Ranch Pizza and Dill Pickle Flavored Crust, and the debut of their latest offering, the Backyard Burger Pizza. Both limited time pizzas are available starting June 24 through September 30.
Initially introduced in the summer of 2022, Hungry Howie’s is reintroducing its popular Pickle Bacon Ranch Pizza along with its signature Dill Pickle Flavored Crust. The limited-time pizza features guests’ choice of Flavored Crust dough with a ranch dressing base, topped with a combination of dill pickle slices, smoky bacon crumbles, and mozzarella cheese for a savory and sweet flavor profile.
Hungry Howie’s newest limited time offer, the Backyard Burger Pizza, features a sesame seed Flavored Crust with a ketchup and mustard sauce base, topped with a mozzarella and cheddar cheese blend, pickles, ground beef, bacon, red onions, tomatoes, and a secret spice blend, giving the pie its burger namesake.
“It was a no-brainer for us to bring back our iconic Pickle Bacon Ranch Pizza in time for summer. Merging flavor-packed ingredients like briny pickles, creamy ranch dressing, and smoky bacon in an innovative offering has ultimately created one of our best-selling, limited-time menu options and a flavor combination worth craving. We’re excited to bring back a guest favorite. Adding to the summer lineup is the introduction of our new Backyard Burger Pizza, giving guests a variety of pickle pizza offerings to enjoy all summer long.”
Jeff Rinke, Vice President, Marketing and Product Development
The limited-time offerings is available at participating Hungry Howie’s locations nationwide. Guests can place orders for the new items online, in the app, or in-store while supplies last.
