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.

Charlie's Bar - Somers Point NJ

by A.W.K. VP Owen Brennan



​After a morning of hanging out with a group of 7 of my veteran friends, nothing better than seeking out the best wing spot, ordering a couple towers of beer, watching football and telling hilarious military stories. That’s just what we did. The wing spot, Charlie’s Bar. We were all helping a Senator film a commercial in Northfield. When we were dismissed, I had to ask a local veteran, “Where’s the best wing spot around here?” 4 out of the 7 people simultaneously said, with enthusiasm, ”CHARLIE’S!!!!” So the convey began. An Atlantic City police officer had point, an Army Ranger brought up the rear. Me, well, I got to ride with one of the coolest guys I’ve ever had the pleasure of being friends with, Bill Brown, 8 year Navy veteran.

​We ordered 70 wings. 35 were Southwest BBQ, the rest were honey BBQ. I had the SW BBQ in front of me so I stuck with them. They were the full wings, which I’m not really fond of but these were pretty tasty. I thought they were pressure cooked or something because the meat came right off of the bone. Decent size too! I’ve never heard of “southwest bbq” before, and I love trying new flavors. The sauce was mild, and kinda sweet. I can’t really compare the flavor to anything because it was so unique. Definitely an amazing flavor. The service was phenomenal too I might add. We always had plenty of napkins, our glasses were always full, and if anyone needed anything, our server, Amanda, was on top of it! Everyone was very friendly in there too. The former Chief of Police of Atlantic City bought us all a round too which was pretty awesome.

​If you decide to visit Charlie’s Bar, make sure you bring cash, they do not accept cards. Conveniently they do have an ATM machine though. Plenty of parking, and very easy to get back on the Garden State Parkway.

Dominic's Tavern - Bellmawr NJ





 I visited Dominic’s Tavern in Bellmawr after my friend, Sean Tighe, raved about their “Fat Daddy” wings. After belonging to the Camden County Emerald Society Pipes and Drums band for about a year, which is headquartered about a mile from Dominic’s Tavern, I cannot believe that I wasn’t informed sooner of this fine establishment. Sean told me that the wings were awesome there. I’ve heard that before and I’ve been disappointed. NOT THIS TIME! Outstanding wings. Sean was right on about their Fat Daddy wings. The sauce had a little kick to it, and was unlike any other sauce I’ve ever had. It was a very odd mixture of hot sauce, cheddar cheese and ranch dressing! WHAT!? Insane combo but was absolutely amazing!
​Whenever I go to a new place with someone, I always take their word on what wings to get, since that’s what we do. Sean also ordered an order of honey bbq, and garlic hot. The honey bbq wings were really sweet and had a delightful after taste. My 3 year old son, Cameron “The Wing Prince” Brennan, tore them up. Not spicy at all, with a sweet, smokey barbeque taste. I’m not a huge fan of really super spicy wings, and the garlic hot sauce was HOT. I could only eat one of them. If you decide to order any type of wings from Dominic’s, and it says hot, trust me, its freaking hot! Sean tore them up though, gotta give him props for that!
​Dominic’s Tavern wings come in orders of 10. Each order, with blue cheese and celery, is only $5.95. I must add, they were some of the biggest, meatiest wings in the area. That means a lot to the Wing Kings. I was stuffed after eating about 8 wings. Another good thing about Dominic’s is the little Phillies helmets they give to kids. Cameron ordered little soft pretzel bites with cheddar cheese dip, and they came out in a little Phillies helmet! We ordered 30 wings, pretzel bites, a hot dog (Cameron’s choice) 2 sodas, an apple juice (Cameron again) and Sean and I had 6 beers, and the bill was under $50. It was definitely worth every penny. I will be returning to Dominic’s Tavern again, and if you do too, make sure you tell them that The American Wing Kings sent you!
