History

Established in 1979.

It all started n 1978, Floyd and Judy Anderson packed their four daughters into a car in Buffalo, New York and set off for Arizona to follow their dream of owning and running a restaurant.

They bought a small local pizza joint, renamed it «Native New Yorker», and threw their life savings into building a successful business. It wasn’t that easy.

After months of terrible sales, long hours, and a roller-​coaster of emotions, Judy had an epiphany: Chicken Wings. The Andersons were the first to bring wings to Arizona, and they were an instant hit! Native New Yorker began receiving awards

for their wings almost immediately.

The Andersons soon became local icons, and Native New Yorker (or, «Native», as the regulars called it), became an Arizona favorite.
