Wilson, the Seattle Seahawks starting quarterback, won his first NFL game on Sunday.
SuperStars is located on Patterson Ave. near Libbie in Richmond. Workers there told CBS 6 Wilson is a frequent customer.
The nickname Wolf Badger combined the team mascots of the two universities Wilson quarterback, the N.C. State Wolfpack and the Wisconsin Badgers.
The slice, which sells for $3.89, contains BBQ chicken, bacon, onions and cheddar cheese.
