“Simple things done impeccably well.” This statement sums up what Howie’s is all about. We make everything from scratch. Whether it’s the fennel sausage on the pizza, or the pesto or the fresh pasta we make every day. We’ve been at this location for over ten years and we’re still going strong! We expanded our menu, redesigned the interior of the restaurant and created a new line of Provisions that you can take home, store in your freezer and have for dinner next week. Everything we offer you has the quality ingredients and attention to detail our customers have come to expect from us. Our Lasagna Bolognese is developing a cult following! And our pizzas have received high praise over the years. We love making great food for you!

Walked in with a group of 9 and was seated immediately on a Sat at dinner time. Ordered the whole garlic bread $11.50, bucatini shrimp and pesto pasta $24.25, half and half the works and pesto pie pizza $30.50. Garlic bread was good and as expected, came with marinara sauce. The pasta had quality fresh ingredients and was a generous portion. Pizzas are all 1 size and can feed 2 people. Generous amount of fresh toppings and the thin-ish crust was perfectly cooked, no char and it held its form for the most part. Both pizza flavors were good. Overall, all the food was good and portions were great for the price. Nothing was excessively salty or greasy. Service was decent. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. I would go back

Came in last night after the cal-Stanford debacle. To our surprise they managed to seat 4 of us right away and the e service was fantastic! Great salads, pasta, pizza! The hummus and toasted bread were HUGE and awesome!

First time here! Our service was outstanding, and we loved that they can make the pizza half and half. We had the Prosciutto and the Mexican Rose — both were delicious! The outdoor seating was a big plus, especially on such a beautiful day.

Food was delicious, especially arancini and hibiscus coolers!
They also do half and half pizza which is not mentioned in their menu. We got half-half of Mexicali Rose and Veggie Woks.
We also got a pizza dough for $5 from their home kit, which turned out great!
We chose to sit outside and the ambience was nice, will come again!

The pizza is good (and you can get half-and-half, we got half Veggie Works and half Sausage & Roasted Red Onion) but the real sleeper hit is the house-made fresh fettuccine. Delicious with a great chew. The Fettuccine with Mushrooms & Red Chard in particular is a flavorful and filling vegetarian entree.
The friendly staff members offer gracious hospitality.
No extra fees or surcharges on the bill – I always appreciate honest menu pricing.

Just a shoutout to Noah, and Karla, our servers that night. It was a stressful day for me and my wife, our decompression is to have some comfort food. Howie’s is it, for us! Not only do you get great food, the service is excellent as well. The staff make you feel like you’re at a good friends’ place.
New recommendations: Bucatini shrimp pesto, and the Patatas bravas!

Howie’s is a happy pizza place. Their pizzas are on a different level of flavor. I’ve had many pizzas from hole-in-wall joints, frozen, chain restaurants, homemade ones, to indie-artisanal creations. Howie’s is one of those truly artisanal pizzas. The ingredients may be the same as any other place, but you’ll notice a level up when it comes to their sauce. I think that’s where the difference is, aside from the distinct flavor that comes from the meats that they use. Each bite is a hearty mouthful. The only way to really tell is by going there and ordering one. I always get “The Works” and it has become my happy food, if you get what I mean. Their salads are also quite good, fresh and savory; a perfect complement to the pies and pasta fare that they offer.
Service is friendly and efficient. That keeps me coming back, aside from the food. When you come in, it’s like being welcomed by old friends in the Cheers bar, (if you get the reference, you’re old ✌️). My wife and I were even lucky enough one time to have our food prepared by the owner Chef Howie himself. The pastas are also very good, going from mild, familiar tastes, to bold, earthy flavors that make you understand what comfort food really means. Each bite gives you that satisfying deep breath of texture and umami goodness. If you haven’t been here yet… well I’m just going say, come on over.
This location is quite busy with many different establishments around. Walk around and see for yourself. Lots of parking around the buildings in this town center, lots to see and try around here. It’s worth it!

I know this is described as a pizza place, but the pasta is what I go for. The carbonara and the bolognese are very nicely done. One of these days I need to try the pizza, but I can’t resist the pasta dishes.
The staff is always friendly and helpful. It is always a pleasant meal.

Not too hungry so we shared plates as samplers. Bolognese with wide hand-made noodles, carbonara with thick noodles, a veggie pizza, meatball sandwich and chicken wings. Pretty tasty, would consider trying pizza with red sauce next time. The crust was thin so it had a nice crisp. For the
meatball sandwich, you had to eat fast or the cheese surrounding it would get too hard. The chicken wings were nicely seasoned. There seemed to be less staff for a Sunday evening, it took awhile to get our orders as well as our bill.

Literally SO GOOD. I have to eat their food like at least once a month because they literally have the best pasta I’ve ever eaten. Their service is super fast and also they give you so much bread if you order that with hummus!!
(My favorite is the carbonara but their pesto shrimp pasta is also awesome)
FYI- these pictures are from 2 months ago!)
