#tbt Comino's Pizza & Wings

 #tbt to a few weeks ago when visiting Whitby to try some different places than we usually do. I found online Comino's Pizza & Wings and it seemed to be pretty popular. I went into the place and their phone rang non-stop for pickup and delivery orders. I'm not doing a full review because I was using a loaner phone and the pictures were not great.

I went with a Pizza & Wings combo. I was happy to find out that the woman taking the orders makes her own sauces for the wings - I really wanted to go with spicy but I knew the fam wouldn't.

When I opened up the pizza box, I was in love. It looked like the perfect kind of pizza to me - the way the cheese melted, the thin-ish crust. I was impressed. The pizza had pepperoni, Italian sausage, and pineapple.

The crust was chewy and doughy. The crust had enough crunch for the crust, but was soft enough that the pizza was bendable. The cheese was stringy and perfectly cooked. The sauce was lightly seasoned but wasn't overpowering, nor was it thick (don't like it thick).

Toppings were tasty, but were more concentrated in the middle of the pizza. This was one of the best pizzas I've had in a long time. I loved it and was frustrated because a) there is nothing like this in Ottawa where I live b) the wife and father-in-law were not crazy about it. I don't understand why not and I didn't get much feedback.

These wings were righteous. Not particularly big, but meaty, crunchy, and so very tasty.

The homemade hot sauce was on point. Spicy - it had a bit. But it wasn't just hot sauce - it was clearly homemade and made with love. It was a bit peppery, kind of smokey, and just delicious. I've had wings like this before but I can't remember where, but I liked them then, and I liked these now.

So I will go back and do a proper review at some point. I may be the only one going, but that's ok.

Rest Stop Wings from Swiss Chalet/OnRoute Mallorytown

 After driving for hours, any rest stop wings will do! We had been on the 401 after doing a multi-day multi-family tour and we had to stop to eat something. I saw all the banners at the ONroute rest stop at Swiss Chalet and my mind was made up (don't tell me advertising doesn't work!).

These Swiss Chalet Hot Wings were tiny & overpriced, but they were crispy & tasty. They stayed crispy because all the sauce was on the bottom. The sauce had a slight heat to them, but also a sweetness to them.

Would I get them again? Maybe. I'm a sucker for wings, but they were so tiny and not a good price ...

#fryday wings @ Moe's Famous

 Friday means #fryday wings!

I was running errands and it was lunch, so I decided I'd like some wings. As I was driving, I see this pizza joint "Moe's Famous Pizza & Wings" and I decide, meh, let's try it. I was expecting the same small wings with bottled sauce that most Ottawa pizza places tend to have. But boy was I surprised.

I got 10 wings which is usually around a pound, but when I picked up the box it felt like a brick. No way this was just 1lb. The wings were large, meaty & crispy! The meat was a bit tough, and I suspect it had something to do with them being frozen. They were very saucy and it was a great peppery suicide sauce; it wasn`t just hot sauce from a bottle but a mix they made up on the spot. I like that.

Anyways, glad I found this gem!
