Who We Are
The Wings over Story
Wings over was born from a simple but powerful obsession: crafting the most flavorful, perfectly sauced wings in the United States. What started as a small kitchen experiment in Somerville, MA quickly became a full-blown culinary movement, bringing together wing lovers from across the city and beyond.
Our founders believed that great wings weren't just food — they were an experience. Every recipe was developed through countless hours of testing, tasting, and perfecting, ensuring each bite delivered that unmistakable wings over flavor that keeps our guests coming back.
"We don't just make wings — we pour our heart, our heritage, and our heat into every single order. That's what wingsover has always been about."
