Dickie Dee's • 1958

Deep-fried hot dogs wrapped in pizza bread with peppers, onions, and fried potatoes have kept Newark's North Ward coming back to this family-run counter joint for over six decades. Co-founded by Dominick D'Innocenzio and Enrico Bruno, the third-generation operation still fries everything in peanut oil and hand-cuts its vegetables daily. The no-frills counter moves fast, regulars know what they want, and the Italian hot dog remains one of Jersey's most addictive sandwiches.
