If you're in the market for an oversize wrap brimming with Parmesan cheese and dressing, head on over to Lenwich.

A fried chicken caesar wrap? Please, say less. We stan Bob White Counter for their ability to innovate.

Not to be (pecorino) cheesy, but the chicken Caesar wraps from Heavenly Market are truly heavenly. The sauce to chicken to cheese ratio is pretty fire, creating a well-balanced meal sure to satisfy your cravings. This local deli is not nearly as stingy as the New Yorkers eating it- the wrap is stuffed to the brim, and we are here for it. Thanks to our friend, Spicyxmarg, we now know to dip the wrap in a side of honey mustard. Yum.

You might roll your eyes when we say this Italian joint is in Park Slope, but trust us on this one, it’s totally worth the schlep. Besides, it’s 2024 people. Get with the program. There's also Mill Basin and Howard Beach locations to choose from. This family-friendly eatery serves one of our favorite chicken Caesar wraps in NYC, and the why is all in the sauce. Instead of traditional Caesar dressing, La Villa Pizzeria uses a dijon caesar dressing (pictured in the next slide), adding that extra layer of zest to each and every bite. A+ work!

Although Chopt Salad is usually frequented for its salads, hence the name, the chicken Caesar wraps there are slept on. The crunchy Kale Caesar Wrap with creamy Caesar dressing is to die for. Between the crunchy lettuce, Parmesan cheese, creamy dressing and perfectly cooked chicken, Chopt is no longer a go-to salad joint but is slaying the wraps game, too, especially when it comes to the perfect Caesar wrap!

You’re dying for a bagel, but decide to go the “healthier” route and get a salad. A chicken Caesar salad wrap, that is. While Zucker's wrap may not actually be all that much healthier, it's definitely delicious. What makes Zuckers’ Caesar wrap so amazing is their secret ingredient: they use bagel chips instead of croutons. Yes, you heard us correctly, bagel chips in a wrap. The chips are crisp and crunchy, taking the classic dish to a whole new level.
From TikTok favorites to hidden gems, we’ve got all your chicken Caesar wrap needs covered.
