# Hungry Howie’s Introduces New Limited-Time Pineapple Jalapeño Flavored Crust®

## Story

The new flavor blends real pineapple sweetness with the bold kick of jalapeño, creating a uniquely balanced sweet‑heat profile baked directly into Hungry Howie's made‑fresh‑daily dough. The result is a crispy crust coated in a sweet pineapple glaze with a zesty jalapeño kick, delivering the perfect balance of sweet and heat. By taking pineapple from the topping list and infusing it into the crust itself, Hungry Howie's introduces an unexpected twist on one of pizza culture's most enduring debates.

"People have argued for years about whether pineapple belongs on pizza – but we wanted to flip the question entirely," said Vice President of Marketing and Product Development Jeff Rinke. "By baking pineapple and jalapeño flavors right into the crust, we're giving guests something they haven't tried before. The result is a flavor that's bold, bright and surprisingly balanced, with a little heat and a little sweetness."

Pineapple Jalapeño Flavored Crust joins the Hungry Howie's lineup of eight free Flavored Crust® options and continues the brand's legacy of delivering inventive, high‑quality products that celebrate flavor. The new crust is available on all pizza sizes and styles at participating locations nationwide. Guests can order online, in the app or in-store while supplies last.
