Me: "I've heard Sidelines is good but I haven't been"

Friend: "Got wings...MMMMM SOOOO GOOD"
(2 days later)
Friend: "Last night I dreamt about those Sidelines wings"
(2 weeks later)
Friend: "Wanna grab lunch at Sidelines?"
Me: "Yes! I need to try their wings!"
Friend: "BTW just had them again a few days ago"
That was a real text conversation with my friend who is now addicted to Sidelines. And, real talk, this divey yinzer bar has taken the crown for best wings in Pittsburgh. At least by my standards!
The wings here are smaller than at my longtime staple, Fat Heads. But what makes them better is their insanely crispy fried skin. I've been longing for a crispy wing that isn't dried out, and this is IT. After crunching into the skin you experience a mouthful of moist meaty goodness. The textural contrast is perfection. Choosing a sauce is difficult because they have so many interesting options, but I went for the honey sriracha. While I liked it, I wanted more heat--next time, I'm going hotter!
Not to mention, these wings are dirt cheap. At $3.50 for six, the size of the wings hardly matter...just order more if you're still hungry! I'm totally surprised this place doesn't have more reviews. If you love wings, or even if you just like wings, you need to get here ASAP.
