Super Bowl LVI is guaranteed to excite, but the pizza and wing combo is just as important to some fans as the big game.

Here, we delve into some great local foodie options for this weekend's showdown between the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals.

Whether you want to get out to a local sports bar or order takeout, here's a rundown of options that will keep the spread in your favour.

LVI kickoff is Sunday at 6:30 p.m., and the halftime show promises rappers Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar and Eminem, along with the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul" Mary J. Blige, joining Dre for the performance at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif.

And while California Knows How to Party, and even if you Forgot About Dre, this Family Affair will be a Humble return for the '90s kids watching. You should probably start thinking about the menu and the venue, before the whole thing Goes Up in Smoke.
