Hungry Howie's pizza franchise to open new location in Katy

Hungry Howie's—a pizza franchise that recently opened Katy locations on Highland Knolls Road and Eldridge Parkway in September—plans to open a new Katy store on Dec. 15.

The next location set to open is at 6940 Katy Gaston Road, Katy, and comes out of an additional franchising agreement between Hungry Howie's and existing franchisee Pizza with a Purpose, according to a September news release. The Pizza with a Purpose deal will bring a total of five Hungry Howie's locations to the Katy area by 2024, officials said.

Caleb Guajardo, co-operator and owner of Pizza with a Purpose, said they partner with local schools, organizations and charities to raise funds that benefit residents in Katy.

“We’re eager to bring more of Hungry Howie’s and its one-of-a-kind products and service to our home in Katy, Texas," Guajardo said in the press release. “Bringing five Hungry Howie’s locations to Katy is just the starting point. Hungry Howie’s has proven to be more than a successful business, but a brand we can partner to grow with."

Hungry Howie's pizza features eight flavored crust options: butter, butter cheese, asiago cheese, ranch, onion, cajun, sesame and garlic herb. www.hungryhowies.com
