Famous for

Hot Dog, Newark

Italian Hot Dog

Recommended by Jane & Michael Stern and 6 other food critics.
"A menagerie of two fried all-beef hot dogs, lightly cooked onions, hot peppers, and potato wedges bathed in mustard and ketchup, shoved in a delightfully spongy Italian bread. Lay out plenty of paper napkins for the inevitable spillage, and dig into a great, only-in-New Jersey sandwich."

"Dickie Dee's, open since 1958, would be in the charter class of the New Jersey Hog Dog Hall of Fame. The Italian hot dog, cooked in bubbling hot oil right in front of you, is justly famous."
"Skinny all-beef are deep fried, then stuffed into half-rounds of pizza bread with plenty of fried or sauteed onions, red peppers, and potato rounds. Iconic place to try it: Dickie Dee's."
"Everybody has their favorite. I’ve only had Dickie Dee’s and I don’t think I’ll eat again for another week! Delicious, filling and uniquely Jersey!"
"The classic italian hot dog involves fresh pizza bread, an all beef frank, deep fried, peppers onions and heavy on the potatoes and a few smears of mustard sometimes ketchup also known as "all the way". Dickie Dee's were like non-other."
"The double hot dog was on the classic half moon of bread and had lots of perfectly cooked potatoes, peppers and onions. The potatoes were only lightly fried so they were moist and easy to eat without being so crispy that they hurt your mouth when you take a giant bite of this big sandwich."
"It's still a staple on the Dickie Dee's menu and adventurous eaters can bite into a bit of Newark history. You'll get an overstuffed pizza bread pocket with two beef patties, and topped with fried vegetables, potatoes, onions and peppers. The perfect late night snack."
