Choosing Wings Over New Haven

You love the food at Wings Over New Haven, but where did Wings Over begin?

You love Wings Over New Haven, but where did Wings Over begin?

Wings Over was born and breaded at the University of Massachusetts in 1999 by Patrick Daly and Harold Tramazzo, who didn’t like the direction that restaurant food was headed. Most places that served the food they loved (wings, ribs, etc.) were just reheating food that was cooked in a factory somewhere. 

They decided to do something about it.

Since building and finishing a dining room was extremely cost prohibitive, they decided to deliver their fresh, hand cooked wings and boneless wings to people and let them eat it at their own home. It turns out they learned two things:

  • People, especially college kids, loved the idea of having wings delivered to them.
  • Not too many places in the country were doing this yet.

Things began to grow pretty quickly with many success and some failures. Even though the company goal was to be the best and not necessarily the biggest wing delivery place in the country, there are almost 30 stores today and growing. 

We love wings. We love eating like a caveman, pulling meat off a bone with our bare hands and teeth.

Usually we like to do it with a bunch of other people who act like cavemen. Add in some hot or sweet sauces and even the most polite fellow in the room starts to act like a Neanderthal.

That's why we do this. In this day and age of appletinis, hummus, lettuce wraps, and the like, every now and then you just need let your inner caveman out, and as far as we are concerned, there is no better food on the planet for your caveman to eat than a big, sloppy pile of buffalo wings.

We serve the best wings, boneless wings, ribs, sandwiches and fries for takeout and delivery. Our boneless wings (or chicken tenders if you like) are fresh hand breaded not frozen processed junk. Our wings are fresh, huge and juicy and we cook them in a manner which helps keep them as crispy as possible for delivery. 

At Wings Over New Haven, we believe that takeout and delivery food should be of the same quality and have the same effort put into it as good restaurant food.
