Between football practice, dance recitals, homework and whatever other chaos hides inside of a backpack during the week, back to school season doesn’t leave parents with a lot of time to curate five-course meals for the entire family. And that’s exactly why pizza night exists.
Why Pizza Night is the Ultimate Back to School Dinner Idea
We get it: the new school year throws everyone’s schedule for a loop. There are new routines, new friends and new bedtimes that no one adheres to. The last thing that an already whirlwind of a week needs is a complicated meal.
Pizza solves all of it. It’s fast. It feeds everyone at once. And, most importantly, everyone gets to pick what they want. Say goodbye to cooking three separate dinners because little Susie decided she is now a vegetarian. At Hungry Howie’s, you can build your own pizza, just the way you want it, with or without the meat (we’re looking at you, Susie).
Make Pizza Night an Actual Routine
The easiest dinners are the ones you don’t have to think about. That’s the whole idea behind making pizza night a standing appointment instead of a last-minute decision.
Start by picking a night and sticking to it. Whether it’s “Pizza Fridays” to kick off the weekend, or a midweek rest on Wednesdays, having a set night means one less decision to make during the busiest part of your week. Then let the kids pick the toppings. Handing over that decision is an easy way to get everyone excited for dinner, and it gives you five minutes of peace.
And when it comes to crust, skip the argument over what to dip it in altogether. Our Flavored Crust® pizza comes standard with options like Butter, Ranch, Garlic Herb and our latest and greatest, Tajín® -- all at no extra charge, so the crust is never the boring part left behind.

The Real Win: One Less Thing to Worry About
Back-to-school season is busy enough without having to add “figure out dinner” to your to-do list every night. Pizza night is the one meal that’s fast, flexible and actually gets everyone to the table without a fight.
