There is always a debate about food no matter where you live. Texas might brag about having the best BBQ, and Louisiana will of course boast the best crawfish. Catfish is king in Arkansas and folks will stand by their favorite spots. But since we've covered the catfish debate, today I wanted to talk about one of my favorite foods - the chicken wing. We recently asked our readers, “Who has the best wings in Arkansas,” and we got responses that included everything from Wing Stop to Daddy's Smackin Wings in Russellville. But there was one spot that got some extra love and that was Certified Pies in Little Rock. Word on the street is that folks can’t get enough of the wings. Come with us to discover the hype around this local gem that could have the best chicken wings in Arkansas.
With a tagline that states, “It Ain't Real Unless It's Certified,” Certified Pies in Little Rock means business.
Located in an unassuming shopping plaza on Markham Street, this beloved restaurant began during the pandemic as a small operation among a few friends. Today, the brick and mortar is a hot spot for folks in the know.
Don’t expect sweet pastries, the pies here are ooey, gooey cheesy pizza pies. There are 12 specialty pizzas, and you can also build your own.
In addition to pizza, the restaurant also specializes in loaded fries.
There are about 10 choices for specialty fries all with cool names like the Al Green, the Vegan Bae, or 400 Degreez, their version of Buffalo Chicken Fries.
While the pizza and loaded fries are worth the trip to this restaurant, folks flock to it because of the chicken wings.
Word around town is that they have the best wings in Little Rock and perhaps all of Arkansas. Whether you like them crispy, wet, dry rubbed or baked, you’ll find something that will feed your soul here.
And with sauces like lemon pepper, parmesan ranch, or hot honey, how can you go wrong? Order as little as 6 or as many as 50 wings, that come with Hawaiian rolls on the side.
If wings are not your thing, Certified also has salads, catfish, and desserts, too. No matter what you choose to eat, it will be certified. But don’t take our word for it, you should go find out for yourself.
