The corner used to be a bad thing. Growing up, “go to the corner” meant you were in time-out and had to face the wall, counting the minutes until you could rejoin everyone else.
We decided to flip that script entirely with our new https://hungryhowies.com/
The corner piece? That’s most definitely not a punishment. It’s the prize. As soon as that pizza box opens on one of our Detroit-Style or Deep Dish pizzas, every eye goes straight to the same spot: the corner. Extra crisp on two sides of the golden crust with cheese caramelized right up against the pan. The same corner that once meant time-out now means you won.
Why The Corner Hits the Spot
There’s a reason the corner slice hits differently, and it comes down to how Hungry Howie’s Detroit-Style and Deep Dish Pizzas are actually made. Detroit-Style got its start in the 1940s when local bakers in Detroit swapped round pans for rectangular steel trays borrowed straight from the auto factories. The dough was baked into a crisp, golden crust with a light and airy interior. The cheese went edge to edge in those pans, creating a crunchy crown deemed frico. And to really differentiate it, tomato sauce was layered on top of the cheese instead of under it.
Alongside Detroit-Style, there’s also Deep Dish, a close cousin baked in the same rectangular pan and sharing the same dough, but built differently. With Deep Dish, the sauce goes directly on the dough before baking, rather than on top of the cheese. That switch makes for a heartier, richer bite. It’s the same craveable corner, just a different personality.
But the real pull of the corner piece isn’t just about texture - it’s about what it means to get it. It’s the pizza version of calling shotgun. You don’t ask for the corner, you call it. And whoever gets to the table first wins the round.
A Slice Worth Fighting For
But what if you don’t have to race for it?
That was the question we asked ourselves, and it’s why, starting September 7, Hungry Howie’s is rolling out All Corners Pizza nationwide (Florida joins in the fun September 21) available in both Detroit-Style and Deep Dish. And yes, you can still add any of our eight free Flavored Crust® options to personalize your pizza just the way you like it. No more racing to the table or calling shotgun.
