Pizza or Wings for the Big Game Menu?

Superbowl Sunday is one of the biggest days of the year for take-out pizza and chicken wings orders.

And if you're planning on ordering for game time or even pre-game you may want to consider ordering early. Several local restaurants and carryout places told Patch they're expected an onslaught, starting when the pre-game shows go on the air in the afternoon.

At Pizza Hut/Wing Street in Paoli Friday afternoon staffers recommended calling in early on Superbowl Sunday. It's certainly not a requirement, but they say it just helps with preparation time and speed. Several others area take-out places Patch spoke with late in the week echoed those sentiments, especially if you're going to have an unusually large order.

The wholesale cost of chicken wings has skyrocketed, just in time for the big game. Several area restaurant owners tell Patch that the cost of chicken wings has shot up from a little under two dollars per pound to (in some cases) nearly three dollars per pound. That puts a big squeeze on small business owners who are reluctant to raise prices and must eat the temporary price increase from their suppliers.
