Pizza is a universally beloved food in the United States. In fact, 98% of Americans eat pizza, while 54% say they love it, according to Soocial. What goes great with pizza? Wings! While wing places have drastically increased over the last couple of decades, many pizza joints have gotten into the wings game themselves, offering them as the perfect side to their pie partner. Check out this list for some fantastic pizza and wings you should try.

Classic Margherita and Barbeque Wings

The simplicity and mellow flavors of a classic Margherita pizza contrast perfectly with the bold, smoky flavor of barbeque wings. The balance is undeniable. Another excellent thing about this combo is that both items are absolute staples on menus, meaning that you can always find them, and they are likely to be among the most refined recipes at the restaurant. We recommend finishing this pairing with another classic like an iced soda. You could also get a palette cleanser like celery sticks on the side.

Stuffed Meat Pizza and Spicy Wings

This combination is loud and proud. The meats on the pizza take you to one level of flavor and robustness, while the spicy wings kick things up a notch. If the wings start spicing up your tongue a bit too much, you have the flavor-packed meat lovers pizza to save you. The flavor combination is akin to a spicy barbeque, which is doubly mouthwatering. When you're famished, this is the pairing that will satisfy your hunger and awaken your taste buds.

Vegetarian Pizza and Honey Barbeque Wings

In contrast to the last pairing, this is one for when you want something a little lighter. A pizza pie is the perfect vehicle to load up on veggies without becoming too full, and the honey barbeque wings will hit you with a subtle and pleasing tang to round out the meal. It's no wonder honey barbeque sauce is commonly used in nearly every chain restaurant, as virtually anything goes well with it. Put these two together to have the best of both worlds and finish without feeling like you're going to pop.

There you have it. Whether you're getting together with a group of people and need some killer combinations, or staying in to watch a favorite show, these varieties of pizza and wings will please you and any crowd you're feeding.
