Easy Valentine’s Day Food Ideas  

Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to mean spending hours in the kitchen or convincing the kids to eat something “fancy.” Let’s keep it simple, delicious, and family-approved with Hungry Howie’s. We’re talking an easy Valentine dinner for family, no stress, no complaints, just happy tummies all around.  

Take our Pepperoni Duo Pizza, for example. It’s got double the pepperoni, so if your kids are pepperoni purists, this one’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Then there’s the Howie Special Pizza. It’s loaded with all the good stuff like pepperoni, ham, green peppers, onions, and mushrooms. It’s perfect for parents who like a little variety while still keeping things kid-friendly.  

Hungry Howie’s knows that finding something for everyone can feel like pulling off a magic trick, but with these options, you don’t have to choose between “what the kids want” and “what you actually want to eat.” It’s the best of both worlds, all wrapped up in our golden, Flavored Crust.  

This year opt for Valentine’s Day food ideas that make everyone happy. Whether you’re dining around the table or spreading a picnic blanket on the living room floor, Hungry Howie’s pizzas are your ticket to a fun, fuss-free celebration. 

Heart Shaped Food Ideas  

Nothing says “love at first bite” quite like a heart-shaped pizza from Hungry Howie’s. We think it’s the ultimate heart-shaped food idea to surprise your family this Valentine’s Day. Whether you’re planning a family dinner or just want to treat the kids to something special, these pizzas bring all the fun (and flavor) to the table.  

Try our heart shaped pizza in classic cheese or kid-approved pepperoni and cheese. It’s like giving an edible Valentine, pizza style!

Hungry Howie’s heart-shaped pizzas are a sweet way to turn your Valentine’s meal into a fun celebration. You’ll find the heart-shaped pizza at participating Hungry Howie’s locations from February 13 through February 14, 2025, or while supplies last. 

For a little balance (and a lot of yum), pair your pizza with a crispy salad or one of our tasty sides. Whether it’s a fresh Garden Salad or some Howie Bread, these extras are perfect for rounding out your easy Valentine's dinner for the family.

Valentine’s Dinner for Kids to Enjoy

Let’s face it, planning a Valentine’s Day dinner for kids isn’t always easy. Between picky eaters and arguing over who gets the last breadstick, it’s easy to feel like Cupid needs backup. 

Kids love finger foods, and our menu favorites are perfect for keeping little hands busy (“No sword fighting with the breadsticks!”) while you can enjoy the moment. Whether your crew prefers wings that are mild or a little on the zesty side, or cheesy bread, you can’t go wrong with these kid-approved favorites.

With Hungry Howie’s customizable pizzas, you can let the kids pick their own toppings. From pepperoni-only to that one kid who loves anchovies, ordering pizzas is one way to keep everyone happy.  

Parents, you’ll love that Hungry Howie’s makes planning an easy Valentine’s Day dinner for kids a breeze. It’s all about having options that make the whole family happy and maybe even earn you a few extra hugs in the process.

Valentine’s Day Movies to Watch with the Family 

After Valentine’s dinner, what better way to wind down than with a family movie night? Grab your Hungry Howie’s leftovers, get cozy, and pick a family-friendly flick. Here are a few we think will fit the mood:  

1. Mystic Pizza - For the pizza lovers in the house (that’s all of us, right), this movie is about the power of friendship with a pizzeria as the supporting character.

2. Love at First Bite - From the roaring 1970s, this vampire comedy has a dash of romance and a lot of laughs.

3. Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown - Classic. Sweet. Adorable.

4. The Princess Bride – It’s absolutely “inconceivable” not to watch this with the family on Valentine’s Day.  

5. The Princess and the Frog - Disney magic with a beautiful message about love, family, and the power of dreams. 

Pair these movies with your dessert bar or a box of Howie Bread to snack on, and you’ve got a night filled with the three best things ever: love, laughter, and pizza!
