It is said that more pizza and chicken wings are consumed on Super Bowl Sunday than any other day of the year. If you go that route, give your business to a locally owned pizza parlor. And consider the “wow” factor of a chocolate pizza and peanut butter “wings” (rippled potato chips covered in peanut butter and dipped in chocolate) from the Chocolate Pizza Company for dessert.
Here are some other ideas:
Speaking of hummus: Here’s another suggestion from Cheeky Monkey Foods. Fill a bowl with your favorite hummus. Scoop out enough hummus to leave a crater/cavity. Fill with Cheeky Monkey Tomato Dipping Oil and serve with toasted pita bread or crostini.
Meatballs in a bread boat: If you love Columbus Baking Company’s famous meatballs in a heel (meatballs plus sauce in the heel of a crusty loaf of bread), you’ll love the meatball boat for a crowd: a Columbus round loaf, 18 meatballs, and sauce. Hollow out the bread and fill with meatballs and sauce. Order in advance. Columbus Baking/Columbus Meats and Cheeses is at 502 Pearl St., Syracuse. Information: 422-2913.
Ascioti’s got game: Super Bowl specials at Ascioti’s to Go, in Liverpool, include the Touch Down (six links of Italian sausage, six peppers and onions and six rolls) and the Dome (a flat loaf of DiLauro’s Bakery Italian bread stuffed with cappicola, Genoa salami, roasted red peppers, provolone and Salt City Hometown Hungarian Peppers. Advance orders only. Ascioti’s to Go is at 207 Oswego St., Liverpool. Information: 457-0683.

Here’s hoping “DeflateGate” doesn’t take any air out of the great American tradition of Super Bowl Sunday and related activities, like drinking beer, eating fattening foods and hosting parties. The New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks will square off at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, and even those of us who don’t give a hoot about football can get “pumped up” about the Super Bowl buffet table.
