Some nights the plan is simple: stay in, put something good on the screen, and eat something better. In East York, the order that never misses is halal wings and pizza. One box covers the main event, the other covers the snacking, and nobody has to cook or compromise. Here is how to put a proper wings-and-pizza night together — from what to order to when to order it.
Why wings and pizza is the perfect pairing
Pizza is the anchor of a night in. It is filling, shareable, and everyone already agrees on it. Wings are the opposite kind of food — saucy, hands-on, eaten one at a time between scenes. Put them together and you get variety without ordering from two places. The trick most people miss is treating them as one coordinated order instead of an afterthought: pizza for the appetite, wings for the fun.
Start with a pizza worth staying in for
A night in deserves better than a pizza that has been sitting under a heat lamp. At Ajwa, every pizza starts with dough that is hand-stretched and baked to order, topped with real mozzarella. That matters more for a night at home than you would think — a fresh-baked pie stays crisp through the drive from Overlea Blvd and still tastes right on the second slice an hour later. Browse the full menu to pick your base before you think about wings.
Then add the wings
Wings are where the night gets personality. Because everything at Ajwa is 100% halal, the wings need no double-checking — same kitchen, same standard as the pizza. If you want a deeper look at what makes a great halal wing, we broke that down in our wings and pizza party guide; for a night in, the short version is: order them fresh, eat them hot, and do not under-order.
How much to order for a night in
For two people, one large pizza plus a modest round of wings is the sweet spot — enough for the movie and a slice left for later. For a family night, scale the pizza up before you scale the wings up; pizza reheats beautifully the next day, and leftover wings rarely survive the night anyway. If your night in is really a small gathering, our combo guide covers group-sized ordering.
Time the order, not the movie
The best wings-and-pizza nights are timed so the food arrives right as everyone sits down. Order before you press play, not after. Since Ajwa bakes to order, place the call or online order about when you start setting up — the food and the opening credits tend to land together.
Pickup or delivery — both work
Live near Thorncliffe Park? Pickup at 25 Overlea Blvd is the fastest route from oven to couch. Prefer not to leave the house at all? Delivery covers East York and the surrounding neighbourhoods. You can order online or call (416) 423-2792 and have it handled in a minute.
Open late, every night
Night-in plans do not always start at 7 PM. Ajwa is open until 12 AM Sunday through Thursday and until 1 AM on Friday and Saturday, so a late decision to stay in still ends with hot wings and a fresh pizza on the table.
Make it an East York tradition
The best thing about a halal wings and pizza night is that it is repeatable. Same order, same couch, zero planning. Ajwa Pizza n Grill has been East York's go-to for exactly this kind of night — 100% halal, baked to order, and open late. Your next night in is one call away.
