With its signature Flavored Crust® pizza innovation, lean business model, and tech-forward infrastructure, Hungry Howie’s is becoming the go-to choice for experienced QSR operators ready to expand their portfolios.

Compared to other pizza and QSR franchises, Hungry Howie’s offers a more accessible entry point:

Initial investment: $350K–$520K
Franchise fee: $25,000
Royalty fee: 5.5%

This lean model, focused on carryout and delivery, can help lower real estate and labor costs, making it easier for operators to scale quickly and profitably.

Data-driven site selection and performance analytics
Digital ordering and loyalty platforms that boost customer retention

Less internal competition
More room to grow

A Brand That Stands Out
