Super Bowl LIX kicks off Sunday, Feb. 9. As you watch the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles, you’re going to need snacks.

We’ve rounded up a few local options for your game day spread that will help you score major points with your guests. Kick back, relax, and grub.

Chando’s Tacos | Family Packs
Feeding a big team? Order 1-pound or 2-pound Family Packs of protein like carnitas, birria, chicken, and carne asada and piece together some tacos at home. You also can’t go wrong with tacos that are already assembled — try the asada, fish, chorizo, veggie, or adobada.

Buffalo Pizza & Ice Cream | Pizza + garlic bread
Get any two large pizzas (with up to two toppings), garlic bread, 10 chicken wings, and a two-liter of soda for $70. Pro tip: Peek at our Sacramento pizza guide for pie options closer to you.

Henry’s Lounge | Sliders
Hang out at the bar while you wait for kickoff + grab a couple orders of your favorite sliders for the house party.

Fire Wings | Chicken wings
With multiple locations across the city, it’s easy to flock to these wings. For your Super Bowl spread, you’ll want to order wings by the piece or family packs ranging from 10 to 100 wings. You can get several flavors and dips with each combo.

World Famous Hot Boys | Sando Combo
This spot that originated in Oakland uses 100% halal chicken and let’s you select between light or dark meat. For a lil’ kick before kickoff, pick up a Sando Combo and select your spice level from “Training Wheels” to “Hot (painfully spicy).” Try the Bonuts for dessert — two fried biscuit donuts with sugar + cinnamon.
