We taste-tested pizzas and wings from every major chain — here's who does it best

The Super Bowl is here.

Time to pop some fresh batteries into the remote, kick back, and enjoy the game — and the halftime snacks.

Americans are expected to eat 1.3 billion chicken wings for Super Bowl 50 this weekend, and, according to The Wall Street Journal, nearly 12.5 million pizzas will be delivered this Sunday – that's 100 million slices!

But where to get these game day essentials?

We decided to put the major chains to the test: Domino's, Papa John's, and Pizza Hut for pizza and breadsticks, and Buffalo Wild Wings and Wingstop for chicken wings.  

First up, the pizza face-off, pitting the big three pizza chains — Domino's, Papa John's, and Pizza Hut — against each other. Our test has three essential game-day categories: the classic cheese pizza, the supreme pizza, and breadsticks.

Who delivers the best slice of cheese pizza?

Cheese:

Papa John's tastes delicious, and I believe their claim of 100% mozzarella. The crust underneath is sturdy but thin, allowing the cheese and sauce to come through. Also, it's surprisingly not that salty.

Pizza Hut's impressive crust overwhelms at first, but quickly gives way as the vibrant crushed-tomato marinara sauce comes through the salty cheese.

Domino's crust is doughy and thick, and a little too spongy for my taste — and the cheese is rather bland.
