Where to get wings in Charlottesville: Downtown Mall and West Main

Last checked Oct. 19, 2026. Refreshed every three months.

Three places on this list are on the Downtown Mall and four are on West Main Street between downtown and the University of Virginia; the rest are on Ivy Road, Ridge McIntire Road, East Market Street, East High Street, in Belmont and at the two Domino’s stores. Most list wings as one item on a full bar, barbecue or Mexican menu.

How we made this list. The places come from OpenStreetMap records inside Charlottesville’s city limits, the same data behind our local directory, checked against each place’s own website on Oct. 19, 2026. A place is on the list only if its own menu or site names wings. We left out Holly’s Diner, whose site lists wings but gives no hours or address, and Zaxby’s, whose location page would not load for us. Pizza Hut’s Charlottesville store is at Twentyninth Place, outside the city limits. The list is alphabetical. It is not a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on it.
