FUEL PIZZA - CHARLOTTE , NC

By: Staff Writer Jay Pennell

Fuel Pizza – Charlotte, NC

A local pizza joint in Charlotte known as Fuel Pizza has some of the best slices around town – something hard to find in this town – but is also known for its chicken wings. Boasting three styles of wings that are Charlotte Wing Fest Award Winners, I stopped in earlier this week to try them out.

Fuel Pizza has eight locations across the Charlotte area, but I stopped into their place at the intersection of South Blvd and East Blvd. All the restaurants are done up to look like old service stations (hence the name) and have a great atmosphere inside of them.

Proud of their pizza, Fuel also has no issue boasting their “Charlotte’s best” title, indicated by the multiple signs in the windows, along the line to order your food and on the menu board itself.

You can order wings in three sizes, a nine-piece for $7.49, an 18-piece for $14.49, and 45 wings for $33.49. They have numerous flavors of wings, but three of which won the Charlotte Wing Fest Award – the Hot Honey BBQ, Medium Buffalo, and Inferno (which they put “Yikes!” next to on the menu).

I opted for a nine-piece basket of the Hot Honey BBQ, while my three-year-old daughter Abigail went for a slice of cheese pizza

When the girl brought the nine-wing basket to the table (two drums, seven flaps, first thing I noticed was the delicious smell of the sauce covering the wings. With steam coming off them, it was clear these were freshly made, as advertised. I also got four celery sticks and a cup of blue cheese dressing – both of which went right to Abigail.

The wings had a crispy skin to them, with hot and juicy meat in each bite. The sauce complimented the meat and crispness of the skin very well, was not overwhelming or carrying the taste. I even found myself dabbing the wings in the extra sauce at the bottom of the basket, not because there wasn’t enough on the wings, but because the sauce was that good.

Overall, I was more than happy with my decision to go with the Hot Honey BBQ. They were tasty, fresh and the sauce was what set it over the top. I will have to go back and try the other award winners, as well as the other flavors. These go perfect to compliment one of Fuel’s great pizzas or simply on their own.

Now, the big question, did they live up to the title of Charlotte’s best wings? Not in my opinion. While they were very good, I still feel there are better wings out there.

Dazzy-O's - Hammonton, NJ aka Southside Pub and Grill

by : A. Cicali III

Today the wing crew and myself went out on a lunch adventure. We brought along two rookies, Kevin and Baby Finn. We decided to check out Dazzy-O's Bar and Grill . Also known as Southside Pub. Located right off Rt. 73 in Hammonton Nj.

The bartender was very cool with us bringing in the little wing princes Cam and Finn. We sat at a booth and each table has a mini Tv. She brought over a scooby doo dvd and put it in for the kids to keep them entertained. I was starving so play time was over and time to eat . Owen , Kevin and I placed our order. They offered 6 flavors, so obviously we ordered 10 of each. Flavors as followed : Sweet and Savory, Spicy Ranch, Texas Tangy, Jamaican Jerk , Garlic Parm, and BBQ. 60 wings for 29.99 . Not a bad deal. The wings were average when it came to "meatyness" I liked the Texas Tangy the best, Kevin preferred the Sweet and Savory. Nothing w

as really too spicy. All the sauces were about mild .

The place offered a nice clean atmosphere . They had two pool tables and a bunch of flatscreen Tv's all over the place. Great place to check out some Sunday Football. Dazzy-O's offered a $2 sandwich special as well. Overall not the world's best wings, but a nice little lunch outing with the boys and some decent wings.

Winging It In North Cackalacka

Jackalope Jack’s – Charlotte, N.C.

1936 E. 7th Street
Charlotte, NC 28204


Written by Staff Writer Jay W. Pennell

When American Wing King VP Owen Brennan asked me to write some wing reviews down in Charlotte,
N.C. I gladly took him up on the offer.

While New Jersey is a hotbed for wings, Charlotte is a little less renowned for their wings. But the city is
full of great restaurants and hole-in-the-wall places that offer great food and tasty wings.

My first stop was Jackalope Jack’s, a restaurant, bar and grill located in the Elizabeth neighborhood of
Charlotte, just minutes from Uptown.

I must have picked the right day to stop in, because Adam Richardson was on location filming an episode
of “Man v. Food” for the Food Network. Richardson was there for the chili, the Mexi-Cali Kobe Beef
burger, the slider challenge and more.

Me, well I was there for the wings.

The great staff at Jackalope Jack’s suggested I try the 20-wing sampler. The wings were split up in two
baskets with five of each flavor, along with complementary celery and blue cheese. Each flavor was
labeled on the paper lining the basket, which made it easy to determine which was which.

The first group I tried was the Buffalo. My first bite into the wings reveled juicy meat all throughout the
wing that easily fell off the bone. The sauce was spicy, but not overpowering and left a great aftertaste.
Definitely grab a handful of napkins, because you’ll need them.

The next group I tried was the Barballo. The sauce was a combination of barbeque and buffalo, which
was much sweeter, but still had a kick. Milder than the Buffalo wings, the Barballo were full of sauce,
juicy meat and delicious smoked flavor. These were by far my favorite of the group. Again, get the
napkins ready, you’ll need them.

On to the second basket, the Teriyaki and Jamaican Jerk were very similar in taste. Neither was as messy
or saucy as the Buffalo or the Barballo. They were both sweeter and tangier and had much of the smoky
taste, which was nice. Even though the basket was labeled, it was still difficult to tell which wings were
the Teriyaki and which were the Jamaican Jerk.

I was certainly pleased with the wings and the great service from my waiter Eric. He kept checking on
me, bringing me cold Yuenglings, even suggesting new beers, despite the busy atmosphere surrounding
the “Man v. Food” taping.

Eric even took me back into the kitchen to show me the smoker they use to cook the wings, using
hickory to add a great taste.

If you’re in the area, I highly recommend stopping by Jackalope Jack’s. I would suggest asking for the

20-wing sampler on your first visit and figure out which flavor you’ll get next time. For me, it will be the
Barballo.

Jackalope Jack’s has a lot of other menu items to offer, four skee ball games and weekly tournaments,
a basketball game, punching game, Golden T, and pool table. They have a great patio overlooking 7th
Street and is both family and pet friendly.

The Battle of Moorestown - Best Wings in Town

 LaRosa Chicken & Grill

By Wing King CEO Anthony Cicali

American Wing King votes "Biggest Wings in Moorestown" and " Best Marinated Wings In Moorestown"

When we walked in , we were greeted by store owner Pepe Guida from Naples Italy. I was immediately impressed by the clean atmosphere. We placed my normal order of 20 wings. Owen looked at me and said " you are not going to be able to eat all 20 here today." I brushed him off quickly. Pepe then offered us a tour of the restaurant. He showed us how he cooked his wings. All wings were fresh and he marinated all his wings for atleast 46 hours!!!. I repeat 46 hours!! He then showed us how he breads and cooks the wings. All the breading is a home-made mix. I thought he was showing off a little bit with the size of the wings he showed me and then I realized all his wings were that size. Owen was right, ( rare to admit this) and I was doomed . Our wings came out and I barely ate 10. They were good size wings. They also tasted great, they have a spicy kick to them and he serves all sauce on the side. He only serves mild and hot sauce. I suggest they carry some more variety in their wings, but I enjoyed wings. Though just marinated by themselves they are good. (It's 930 am, and as I type this, I'm thinking about driving there soon as they open because my mouth is watering thinking of these wings, damn I have problems lol)  I was stuffed after 10 and had to bring home the rest in a doggy bag , carrying my head down in shame. Pepe said they are known for the Rotisserie Chicken, but the wings have been catching on fast. This place was my personal favorite in town for the unique style and epic portions.My only other complaint is that they need a Facebook page.  As you can also see , LaRosa is now one of our sponsors. We accepted them after we tasted the wings, American Wing King will never be sponsored by a wing we don't fully approve. My suggestion , try them for yourself.

LaVita's Pizza - Moorestown NJ

American Wing King votes "Best Teriyaki Wings in Moorestown"

By Wing King VP Owen Brennan

American Wing Kings visited LaVita's pizza in Moorstown, located right in the heart of town on Main Street, the other day. We have heard they had pretty good wings from a couple people so we decided to check it out. It's a very colorful restuarant, but completely decked out in Yankees stuff! Boo! Everything is Yankees, paintings on the walls, pictures and NY slogans. Not sure how smart that is being in Phillies territory but whatever. We looked over the menu and decided to order 24 wings in a couple different flavors....but no. They don't split the flavors per order, so we ended up having to place 4 different orders of 6. That sucked! We ended up paying almost $10 over what the cost for 24 wings would be. That wasn't cool. I asked the guy running the place, "What flavor is ordered the most?" He didn't get what i was asking. So, i rephrased, "What's the most popular flavor?" He replied, "Mild i guess, people around here are boring." Ok cool, insult the customers, nice. I looked over the menu and ordered Teriyaki, garlic parm, hot and mild. The wings were totally "plain jane" as Don Thompson, described them. They were small, over cooked and not a whole lot of meat n them. The garlic parm had fresh parmesan, which was pretty cool, and fresh garlic, but they were still dry. The mild and hot flavors were very generic. Nothing really to write about for them. The best were there teriyaki. Good flavor, pretty sweet with an authentic asian taste. They were the best at LaVita's. After we housed all 24 wings, and paying like $34, we were still starving so had to spend another 10 bucks on a calzone, which was pretty good. They had a very large selection of gourmet pizzas lined up on the counter. I have heard their pizzas wee amazing and I definetly believe that. I rate the wings at LaVita's a 3, and thats only because the teriyaki sauce was good. The service sucked too, like i said, the manager said "people around here are boring." Anthony and I split the calzone, so we both ended up having to take some home. I walked up to the countr and asked for a take out box. The guy said, "For what?" Umm, because we have food to take home maybe? He rolld his eyes and got me 2 boxes. That's about it for LaVita's. If you're looking for wings in Moorestown,  suggest going to one of the other 5 places just on Main Street to get your fix.

Papi's Pizza II - Moorestown NJ

American Wing King Votes them "Best Deals and lunch Specials in Moorestown"

By Jim Clancy

A small restaurant known by most people for their pizza, Papi's Pizza II on Camden Avenue in Moorestown, NJ has some of the best wings that many people don't even know about. Papi's II is mainly a take-out / delivery restaurant, so if you live in the area and want some good wings to eat at home during a big game or any other get together, give these a chance. Coming in order sizes of 10, 15, 20, 30 and 50, these wings are a decent size and each order is very saucy. The mild wings have a slight barbecue taste to them. The hot wings are like good old-fashioned bar wings with a spice that's just enough kick, but not overpowering. Other sauce varieties include garlic, honey BBQ, honey hot, spicy BBQ and super hot. Give these wings a shot. You won't be disappointed.
