BUFFALO FOOD REVIEW: Is Wingnutz actually King? 🏆⤵️
We finally made the drive to the Kenmore Ave location to see if the Dave Portnoy 9.1 rating holds up. This place has been blowing up my feed, so we had to test it out.
The Order:
🍗 Mild Wings: Absolute classic. The sauce coverage was perfect, but the star is that signature breading. It stays crazy crispy even when wet.
🧄 Garlic Parm: These were the sleeper hit. Super savory, tons of parm, and massive size.
🍕 The Spread: Paired with a pepperoni pizza and spicy margs? Unmatched.
The Verdict:
If you are in the 716, you need to try this. It’s not your traditional Buffalo style (it's breaded!), but the crunch is on another level.

While everyone raves about Wingnutz's legendary wings – and believe me, they absolutely deserve the hype for their incredible crispiness, even when drenched in sauce – what truly elevates the experience to a full-blown feast is their pizza. I've seen so many people searching specifically for 'Wingnutz pizza,' and as a fellow food explorer, I totally get why. It’s not just an afterthought; it’s a vital player in the Wingnutz lineup, especially if you’re looking to truly indulge in their offerings at the Kenmore Ave spot. During my visit, spurred by the countless viral posts and Dave Portnoy's high rating, I made sure to order their pepperoni pizza alongside my mix of mild and garlic parm wings. My reasoning was simple: if a place nails wings this well, what about their pizza? And I was genuinely impressed. The pepperoni pizza arrived with a perfectly baked crust – not too thin, not too thick, with a satisfying chew and a lovely golden-brown crisp on the bottom. The sauce had that classic, slightly sweet and tangy Buffalo pizza flavor, and it was generously topped with glistening, slightly cupped pepperonis that delivered a burst of savory, salty goodness with every bite. The cheese pull was real, too! What truly makes the Wingnutz pizza a must-try, though, is how it complements the wings. The richness and unique breaded crunch of their wings are fantastic on their own. But when you take a bite of a spicy margarita-infused pepperoni slice, it offers a refreshing contrast. The acidity of the tomato sauce and the subtle spice from the pepperoni cut through the savory fat of the wings beautifully. It’s a genius pairing, creating a balanced meal that feels both indulgent and complete. I found myself alternating between a crispy mild wing, a garlicky parm wing, and a warm slice of pepperoni pizza, and each combination was pure bliss. It’s not just a side dish; it’s an integral part of what makes a Wingnutz meal so memorable. If you're debating 'Team Traditional' or 'Team Wingnutz' for wings, I'd say the pizza makes an equally compelling argument for the latter. Beyond the incredible taste, the practicality of ordering a pizza at Wingnutz is also a huge plus. It’s perfect for sharing, especially if you’re with a group and want to sample a wider range of what they offer. While the focus is often on the wings, the pizza offers a familiar, comforting anchor to the meal. It’s hearty, satisfying, and provides a different texture and flavor profile that keeps your palate engaged. For those wondering if Wingnutz's pizza stands up to its reputation for having some of the best wings in Buffalo, I'd say it absolutely holds its own as a fantastic accompaniment and a delicious meal in itself. It’s clear they put the same care and quality into their pizza as they do their celebrated wings, ensuring a consistent and enjoyable experience across their menu. So, for anyone heading to Wingnutz, especially if you’re coming for the first time or with a group, my personal advice is to absolutely include a pizza in your order. It's the kind of comfort food that perfectly rounds out the main event. While the wings might be what put them on the map and had me asking, 'WAIT! ACTUALLY THE BEST WINGS IN BUFFALO?', the pizza ensures you leave feeling utterly satisfied. It truly solidifies Wingnutz as a standout food destination in Buffalo, offering more than just exceptional wings. It's a complete culinary experience that shouldn't be missed, and their pizza definitely plays a starring role in that delicious adventure.
The food looks delicious 😍
