50 Best Chicken Wings near Lake Balboa

“Really good tasting fried chicken. Probably has the best crunch in the crispy game. The location is kept extremely clean and great staff with awesome customer service. JUST EAT THE CHICKEN. They have the nastiest Greasiest over and over used frying oil flavor of Fries in the world. But it’s not just this location; it’s ALL! Which is why they get 4 stars.“

“I got the Goomba. And you may wonder: can a pepperoni pizza really be that outstanding? And at Dtown, it really is!“

“You have to try this pizza place. We were passing through came across this pizza shop and decided to try it. I tried the Indian fusion pizza. It was SO good! The paneer was soft and flavorful. We also ordered a chiken tikka pizza which was delicious as well and spice level was just right. Go try out this place. I highly recommend.“

“The food was very good. It was crispy and tasty. I really liked the food.

But I had a problem with parking. The validation machine in the store was not working. I asked the staff, and they told me I was “good to go.” But when I left the parking lot, I still had to pay $17.

This was frustrating because I checked before leaving. I hope they fix this problem soon.

Food is great, but parking needs to be better.“

“absolutely 💯 delish!! we had the white and the hot honey..highly recommend 👌“

“Visited the El Segundo store. Outstanding pizza. As good as the best pizza I’ve had in NYC. (I’ve had a lot of NYC Pizza) Staff are really friendly and the manager goes above and beyond to make sure every customer is happy. Highly recommend.“

“The perfect burger and delicious fries. 100% delicate... 👍“

“It’s always fun having dinner here with my family. Everything is great except for the Cheesling fries. The mix of Parmesan cheese with a sweet sauce doesn’t go well together. I was expecting cheese fries instead. That would be a much better menu item“

“Probably the best chicken sandwich in the whole of Los Angeles.“

“Great lobster roll and even though the margarita is agave wine rather than tequila, very tasty! Highly recommend“

“Love this place so happy they opened this! Did I mention they have wings??“

“One of my favorite spots to grab a quick bite! I’ve been coming here for a while now, and the food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. I’ve never had a bad experience, and the staff is always kind and welcoming. I highly recommend this place!“

“This is the BEST pizza I have ever had in my life. No joke. I have tried many many pizza spots (mainly because all my kids eat is pizza) and this one hands down is the best one! Good for adults and kids! Flavorful not bland like some other spots with fusion items. It's become my go to ordering spot anytime I'm hosting or have guests over too. My personal favorite pizzas are the Gobi Manchurian and the Achari paneer!!! Must have!!!“

“best fry chicken in town 👍“

“Support you local pizza spots.

Pizza Cousins > Any Pizza Chain.

Their pizza had delicious sauce, cupped pepperonis, good doughy inner crust and a crunch to the edge of the crust. Their wedges are also reallllly good. Will come back!“

“The pizza tastes fresh, with high-quality ingredients, a flavorful sauce, and a perfectly baked crust. Everything came out hot and quickly, and the staff was friendly and welcoming from start to finish. It’s a great spot whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout. Consistently good food, great service, and definitely one of my go-to pizza places in the area. Highly recommend!“

“I was craving Italian food tonight, and ordered from here. What a treat! Delicious food! Friendly service, very aesthetic restaurant, and fairly priced. Can't ask for more! I had Lenguini with clams and Hawaiian pizza. Shared with my mom. We both loved it !!! Will definitely order again. Highly recommend! Must try.“

“The taste is almost identical to Northridge BB.Q. The difference is that they don't provide the complimentary pickled radish. Also, I ordered two extra sides of pickled radish, but unlike Northridge BB.Q., the portions were very small.
I could tell they used clean oil just by looking at the chicken, and it tasted amazing.“

“Delicious 👍 I recommend it“

“My son is a wing enthusiast so we decided to stop by to check it out I got to say the wings were amazingly sauced covered every bite the variety of sauces is amazing he enjoyed them very much and we will definitely come back the garlic fries were so delicious also amazing service friendly“

“Bro.. just moved to the area early this year, my partner and I decided to find a lunch spot close by. Looked at reviews and decided to give this spot a try. WHAT?! Hidden gem!! The service- server was super friendly, helpful, and super quick!, Thai tea slapped! (Must get), zap wings - I do think need a sauce so we are taking home to create our own, fried chicken (GET THIS! Moist, but crunchy and soooo yummy, papaya salad(my partner said in her 33 years on earth this is the #2 all time best papaya salad she’s ever had(#1 is her moms), mango sticky rice was perfect- will be coming back for JUST this sometimes 😂
Oh yea I got yellow chicken curry to go so I’ll report later how that is 😂

You must MUST try this place.
It’s very small only 4 tables inside, so it was perfect daytime lunch date spot. Shit my partner and I were talking about which coworkers we were bringing here next 😂

Super clean inside. Seems like a lot of afternoon parking in the lot it’s in, not sure about night.

Hope this review helped you decide to try this spot cause HOT DAMN that was fire 🔥

Our bill was a lot but we got a bunch of stuff to try lol if you only buy one or two things it’s easily cheap“

“we were lucky to have our baby shower at casa de pizza and joel and eddie are amazing owners. i was getting overwhelmed looking for venues and catering our baby shower, and we were so grateful that casa de pizza were open to having us. from day one, eddie and joel were responsive and put together a really nice menu with a drink package that was EXTREMELY REASONABLE for pricing. the baby shower itself was fantastic - pizza was solid, the pitchers were flowing, and the antipasto salad, wings, and lasagna were delicious. joel was on the floor making sure everyone was taken care of, and i cannot tell you how nice it was to walk in, celebrate, and walk out without having to worry about a thing. they even offered to let come a little earlier to decorate which was a nice gesture.

i also wanted to mention that we live in the neighborhood and have been going to casa de pizza since before new ownership. i've felt that the pizza and pasta are still very good, so i am surprised to read that people aren't satisfied. they've made some very positive changes by opening orders up for online and pick up. if you OG customers remember, we'd all have to fight each other calling the phone line just to get an order in, and it'd take us a solid 20 minutes of hearing the busy tone before getting someone to take our order, wait an hour, then pick it up. change is scary because it's new, but i feel like eddie and joel honor the tradition and respect of what casa de pizza was meant to be - your neighborhood pizza parlor.

we look forward to celebrating future birthdays and events here - they made it so easy and effortless so that we could enjoy our day.“

“Best thai food love coming here“

“I haven’t had it in a long time, but Lamonica’s is always a staple in Westwood area.
It is not my top favorite pizza, but especially if you are around the area, it is a decent slice. 🍕

I would suggest takeout or delivery as the seating area in the store in very limited“

“We had an early dinner takeout so was not busy. First time ordering from Milan’s. The pizza was terrific - loaded with toppings and fresh from the oven. The cook was the only one there at the time and was very pleasant and speedy. Would order again!“

“NoHo Pizza Man is a rad find in NoHo. Located on the corner of Magnolia Blvd and Vineland Ave, in the Ralph's shopping center, you have the option of making your own vegan salad, pasta, pizza or their vegan wings. Portions are okay, though clearly lacking for certain items. Add ons for salads are limited to 6 items online and things like avocado and vegan protein (vegan sausage, vegan pepperoni, vegan chicken, etc) are extra regardless... Limited seating inside and friendly service.“

“Oxtails were to die for. Red beans and receipt were excellent. Jerk chicken was slow cooked to almost perfection, just a tad bit too salty. Plantains were too sweet and cornbread was dry. But I would go back 😊“

“Most advanced taco truck I’ve ever been to. Walk up order on an iPad that’s playing music (+vibes), ordering was easy to edit my preferences and tap to pay, they have a menu with PICTURES of all their food (I wish every restaurant and food truck would do this it’s very helpful) and they call out ur name when it’s ready. Burrito was incredible 10/10“

“I had a little trouble placing a late-night order, but Sherman completely turned the experience around. He was patient, friendly, and took the time to help me through the process while also giving me tips for ordering next time.

That kind of customer service is hard to find and definitely deserves recognition.

The pizza was absolutely delicious, and the pepperoni knots were packed with flavor and perfectly baked. It's honestly one of the better pizzas I've had in a long time, especially at such an affordable price.
If you download the app, you can save a percentage on your order, and if you spend over $25 and choose in-store pickup, you can get a free liter, just ask! Thank you again, Sherman, for your hospitality and outstanding service. I'll definitely be back!“

“As a born-and-raised Chicagoan living in LA, I’ve accepted a lot of things—traffic, earthquakes, and people calling anything with marinara and cheese “Chicago pizza.” But I never accepted that I’d have to give up real tavern-style pizza… until I found Chicago Stuffed Pizza Co.

The real ones will know that the Chicago pizza is tavern-style! The pizza is everything it’s supposed to be: ultra-thin, perfectly crispy, cut into squares (because we’re civilized), loaded with quality toppings, and packed with that unmistakable Chicago flavor. It tasted like home.

And let’s talk about the deep dish. This isn’t some tourist gimmick or casserole pretending to be pizza. It’s the real deal—flaky buttery crust, rich sauce, gooey cheese, and enough flavor to make any homesick Chicagoan tear up a little.

Also, Tommy, one of the owners, is amazing—funny, welcoming, and he brings that perfect Chicago charm that makes the whole place feel even more legit. You can tell he gets it.

If you’re from Chicago and have been searching LA for a pizza that doesn’t disappoint, stop looking. If you’re not from Chicago, this is your chance to find out why we’re so obnoxiously passionate about our pizza.

Chicago Stuffed Pizza Co. didn’t just meet my expectations—they cured a serious case of pizza homesickness. I’ll be and have been back… probably way more often than my waistline would prefer“

“My family wanted a pizza and I found this gem close by. Totally amazing. Toppings were distributed evenly across the pizza and they did not skimp out on us !! Crust was a great texture due to the wood fire . Each bite was delicious 😋 we will definitely be back !“

“Raising Cane's is incredibly consistent between every location I've been and this one was in line with that trend. I stopped in around midnight on a Sunday and found the place bustling with post night-out baddies and other folks getting a bite to eat. Ordering was easy with the kiosks or at the counter and the order only took about 5 minutes.

I got a box combo (4 tenders) and an extra toast looking forward to making little sandwiches, but regrettably they where out of coleslaw. I may be in the minority of loving the very mid cole slaw (as the founder himself has characterized it). After going back in to ask about its absence I realized that's why I had 3 toasts and no slaw, a nice touch by the staff to address it. I probably would've been told if I hadn't used the kiosk.

The food was hot and delicious as usual with all the teas well stocked and cold. Solid location with great hours.“

“5 STARS SUPER DELICIOUS EVERY TIME“

“7/18/2026 This was our first time trying Mix Grill and I’m glad we did! We ordered the Mix burger combo and a cheese pizza. If everything on the menu is as tasty as the 🍔 , fries and pizza 🍕…. that will be amazing! The seasoning on the fries was 🔥, the combination of everything on the burger worked well together and good meat to bun ratio, I like that and the pizza flavor was on point. Very tasty! The crust is thin FYI, which is my style and it’s that chewy type of crust. Absolutely no complaints. I would order both items again.The food hit the spot! Great and attentive customer service when ordering and waiting for our to go order. Also first thing I noticed was how clean and clutter free it looked.
It was warm inside, so no air conditioning, but maybe they were trying to keep the bills low, understandable. I wish them much success and look forward to trying their Mediterranean food next.“

“The food is great at reasonable prices. They have specials on sandwiches, pasta and pizza. The people that work there are always friendly and helpful. I’ve been going there for over20 years.“

“I had a great experience at Potato Corner Northridge! The fries were fresh, crispy, and perfectly seasoned—definitely one of my favorite snack spots. The staff was friendly and served quickly, even during busy hours. The place was clean and had a nice vibe overall. I’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommended!“

“CluckShack is some of the best chicken I have ever had. The flavor hits you right away, the crunch is perfect, and everything tastes fresh. I love all their sauces. I do wish they offered a hotter one. The owners care about their food and you feel that from the first bite. I want to thank Maiden Community for introducing us to this spot. What a wonderful and delicious find for our group.“

“Came in on a Sunday and was immediately greeted by Leo. Leo was super welcoming, friendly and gave us recommendations on what we should try for the first time. We got lemon pepper and hot agave. First off, the wings are a great size compared to other spots in the area. The seasoning is absolutely on point and the flavors are immaculate!! From the service to the food this is definitely our new wing place. I'm excited to come back and see what the other flavors taste like. Thanks again Leo for your hospitality!

Parking: Parking on the street easily accessible“

“EXEMPLARY MANAGEMENT, PROFESSIONALISM, AND LEADERSHIP

San Juana, the manager at this location, deserves formal recognition.

She stepped in to resolve an issue caused by another location and handled it with exceptional professionalism, patience, and clarity. Her communication was calm, respectful, and solutions-focused, and she took full ownership of making things right without deflection, attitude, or excuses.

What truly stood out was her kindness and emotional intelligence. San Juana listened carefully, explained everything clearly, and ensured the situation was resolved in a way that reflected genuine care for both the customer experience and the company’s standards.

This is what strong leadership looks like. Corporate HR should absolutely celebrate San Juana and this team for setting the benchmark for how management should operate under pressure. She represents the brand with integrity, competence, and grace.

Thank you San Juana“

“Had a great meal at this WingStop. My son and I were starving and craving some wings. The manager Sunny recommended tasty Mango Habanero for me and Hickory Smoked BBQ for my boy and we loved it. Also got a well made brownie which hit the spot.“

“amazing food with good prices and large portions. They have a nice variety- we had fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp!! So delicious 😋- we will definately be back-!!“

“I saw this place on instagram as being the oldest restaurant in SF. We dined in on the 4th of July at noon. Small parking area and street parking. No wait and plenty of seating.
The woman worked there was very helpful. We got half a fried chicken which takes 20-25 minutes and chicken Pad Thai. We then sat and waited. It is near a small airport and train tracks. This makes for interesting viweing if you like watching. A few minutes before the food came We were given 2 paper plates, 3 napkins each and plastic forks. She also gave us Sriracha and a bowl of Thai chili flakes. I did not try this, but it smelled delightfully smokey and spicy. The pad Thai arrived in a take out container and it was saucy and delicious. The chicken, also in a take out container, was a dipped batter style fried chicken,and looked glorious. The pieces are large and were too hot to eat immediately so we ate the thin style fries it comes with.
Chicken batter tasted great. Super crispy and although oily there was no oily aftertaste.
I am interested to try more menu items.“

“winzza has over 40 fresh pizza toppings and 10 pizza crust to choose from“

“Lived in studio city for 3 years, just had this pizza and it ROCKS. It has topped all pizza I have had in this area. Amazing crust, sauce, toppings. Wings were great. High quality! Wish parking were a bit easier but other than that, 100/10.“

“Every time I order from fresh Brothers, the food is delicious and the service is great. I’m particularly fond of their Detroit style pizza. The crust is crunchy and toppings are yummy. Props to the vegan pizza options as well, very good I’m a happy repeat customer“

“Great atmosphere and they have a bar right inside so you get the best of both worlds.“

“better than wingstop. 🔥 i love this place. my son turned me on to this place& I'm so gladhe did.❤“

“winzza has over 40 fresh pizza toppings and 10 pizza crust to choose from“

“Pizza, salad & whatever else is on the menu, But now I can add 3 to 4 of our favorite - Ajarski’s!“

“They work hard to get you your food fast. Great efficient service was satisfied. It’s a tiny place. So it feel crammed if more than 3 or 4 people are lined up. So
just be prepared to stand close to strangers if there are multiple people in there.“
