It is that time of year when the playoffs are starting. There is no better way to watch your favorite team than to eat some delicious buffalo wings! Luckily, Arlington is filled with places that serve great wings. I will rate the wings on a scale from one to 10. Considering that I have Buffalo roots, I can say I know a thing about wings.
Deli Italiano
Deli Italiano is an Italian restaurant that serves pizza, wings, calzones and lots of other Italian deli. The restaurant is small, but it has a nice local atmosphere. Even though buffalo wings are not Italian, Deli makes them amazingly. In terms of spice, they are not the hottest wing, but they will provide you with a satisfactory taste along with a little kick of heat. The wings have plenty of meat on them, and both the drums and flats will melt in your mouth. Deli Italiano serves both mild and spicy buffalo wings, along with many other classic seasonings. The wings come in quantities of 5 ($8.79), 10 ($15.39), and 20 ($29.69) wings. I ordered the spicy buffalo wings, and I rated them an 8.5/10. The only reason they lost points is because they were not all that spicy. Other than that, the quality of the chicken is great, and the sauce is immaculate.

baddpizza
baddpizza is an authentic Buffalo restaurant that serves buffalo wings and Buffalo style pizza. The owners are both from Buffalo, so they know how to make a good wing. The wings are incredibly meaty, and the quality of the meat is great. The sauce is authentic and delicious, but they put it on light. If there was more sauce, this wing would be perfect. Badd Pizza serves wings in quantities of 10 ($14.99), 20 ($26.99), 30 ($39.99) and 50 ($63.99). I also give the baddpizza buffalo wing an 8.5/10. The wing is meaty, and has an authentic Buffalo taste. The only problem with them is that they just don’t have much sauce on them.

First Down Sports Bar and Grill
First Down Sports Bar and Grill is a sports bar right next door to us at the school. They serve wings, burgers and other classic sports bar cuisine. You can either eat at the bar or be seated at a table, and they will turn on whatever game you want. Considering that the place is a sports bar, it is filled with TV’s, so you don’t need to worry about your seating. Taking into account that First Down Sports Bar and Grill is a DC restaurant, don’t wear any Cowboys merch! The wings are absolutely delicious. They are incredibly meaty, and they are caked in buffalo sauce. Although the sauce tastes a little more like sweet sauce, they are incredibly spicy and delicious. The wings come in quantities of 6 ($9.50), 12 ($17.75), 18 ($26.25), 24 ($34.00), 30 ($42.00) and 50 ($69.00). The perfect time to come here is for Monday Night Football, because they have a Monday wing special. The deal is $10.68 for a dozen traditional wings, which is an incredible deal. I ordered the medium wings, but I was still crying by the end of it. The wings are slathered in sauce, so they are incredibly hot. The chicken is crispy and juicy. The flavors blend together perfectly to provide the best possible taste. I rate it a 9.5. It’s the perfect wing aside from how they are just a little sweet.
