While pizza may be our specialty at Pizza Depot, our chicken wings have developed quite a following of their own. The perfect complement to any pizza order, our wings offer a variety of flavors that can satisfy any craving. In this post, we'll explore some of our most popular wing flavors and suggest the perfect pizza pairings for each.
Classic Buffalo: A Timeless Favorite
Our Classic Buffalo wings strike the perfect balance between heat and flavor. We use a traditional cayenne pepper sauce base, enriched with butter for that distinctive Buffalo wing taste that originated in upstate New York. Available in mild, medium, or hot, these wings are a crowd-pleaser for a reason.
Perfect pizza pairing: The tanginess of Buffalo wings pairs beautifully with our Classic Cheese or Pepperoni pizza. The mild, creamy cheese helps balance the heat of the wings.
Honey Garlic: Sweet and Savory
Our Honey Garlic wings feature a perfectly balanced sauce that combines the sweetness of Canadian honey with the pungent flavor of fresh garlic. These wings are caramelized to perfection, creating a sticky, glossy coating that's irresistible.
Perfect pizza pairing: Try these with our BBQ Chicken pizza for a complementary sweet and savory experience, or contrast them with our Spicy Italian pizza for an interesting flavor combination.
Maple Sriracha: A Canadian Twist
This uniquely Canadian creation combines the heat of sriracha with the sweetness of pure maple syrup. The result is a complex flavor profile that starts sweet and finishes with a pleasant burn. It's one of our most requested flavors and a true Pizza Depot original.
Perfect pizza pairing: These wings go wonderfully with our Canadian pizza, topped with bacon, mushrooms, and maple-cured ham.
Lemon Pepper: Bright and Zesty
Our Lemon Pepper wings feature a dry rub of fresh lemon zest and cracked black pepper. The result is a bright, citrusy flavor with a peppery kick that's incredibly refreshing. These wings are perfect for those who prefer a non-saucy option.
Perfect pizza pairing: The citrus notes complement our Mediterranean Veggie pizza beautifully, enhancing the fresh flavors of the vegetables.
Smoky BBQ: Rich and Tangy
Our Smoky BBQ wings are coated in a house-made barbecue sauce that we slow-simmer for hours. With notes of hickory smoke, molasses, and a hint of chipotle, these wings offer depth of flavor that keeps customers coming back.
Perfect pizza pairing: Pair these with our Meat Lovers pizza for an indulgent feast, or contrast them with a White Pizza for a more balanced meal.
Parmesan Garlic: Italian Inspired
These wings are tossed in a buttery garlic sauce and then dusted with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and Italian herbs. The result is a creamy, savory flavor that's reminiscent of garlic bread – but better!
Perfect pizza pairing: These wings are a natural match for our Margherita or any of our Italian-inspired specialty pizzas.
Salt and Vinegar: Tangy and Addictive
Inspired by the popular potato chip flavor, our Salt and Vinegar wings are first brined in a vinegar solution, then coated with a specially developed dry rub. The result is a mouth-watering tanginess that's hard to resist.
Perfect pizza pairing: The sharpness of these wings works well with our richer, creamier pizzas like the Four Cheese or Chicken Alfredo.
The "Fire Breather": For Heat Seekers Only
Not for the faint of heart, our "Fire Breather" wings combine ghost peppers, habaneros, and a touch of Carolina Reaper for serious heat. We balance the extreme spiciness with a touch of honey and fruit to create a complex, albeit intense, flavor experience.
Warning: These wings come with a waiver! We're only half-joking – they're seriously hot.
Perfect pizza pairing: Cool down with our Hawaiian pizza – the sweet pineapple provides a welcome respite from the heat.
