I'd kill for a good one...hot, soft and with tons of sugar. It used to be that pizzerias made them as an everyday menu item, but these days I only see zeppoles at the feast - or a street fair. Does anyone know of a place in NYC that makes 'em every day? Thu Apr 23 08:54:13 -0700 2009 174753 NellyNel 1 4621703 HA HA! I just saw your post on the side panel and knew why you were asking. I swear, this site is dangerous, isn't it? ;) Back to your question, I've had them at the same places you have--namely, at bakeries during the Feast of San Gennaro. Here's a list of participating bakeries and restaurants. One of them has to make zeppoles. Good luck on your quest! :) http://www.sangennaro.org/rest.htm Thu Apr 23 09:37:09 -0700 2009 4621525 249664 kattyeyes 2 4621997 LOL!!! Yes! That is hilarious! As I posted this - I thought "I gotta stop looking at CH while I'm hungry!!" Thanks so much for the link - I will have to check those spots out!! If all else fails - I think a good hot Krsipy Kreme donut might just do the trick! PS Katty - I did make an Easter Pie - and it bombed! I don't know what happened but it was too heavy and gloopey....oh welll - I'll give it another go next year!

They're not typically snacks sold at bakeries or pasticcerie, and I've not seen them on a regular basis anywhere but an old fashioned corner pizzeria--where they used to be ubiquitious--and at feste, of course. At least some of the pizzerie along the Bensonhurst strip of 18th avenue (60th-86th Streets) should have them, but not usually freshly made. Buona caccia.

I could just taste 'em now!!

They were a little greasy the last time I had them though... Wed Apr 29 17:05:59 -0700 2009 4635485 168211 Jeffsayyes 4 4642899 Thanks Jeff! I don't know if I'll get to Queens but thanks - I think I'm gonna have to settle for a Krispy Kreme for now!

Thu Apr 30 17:57:17 -0700 2009 4642899 168211 Jeffsayyes 1 4796944 In Carroll Gardens, Bklyn, The House of Pizza and Calzone on Union Street off Columbia, makes them only on Fridays and Saturdays. I haven't been there in over a year so I don't know if that's still the case. They used to sell them by the dozen or half-dozen. They were huge, but good. You'll never finish a whole order by yourself. Mon Jun 22 22:32:42 -0700 2009 4621525 180779 nooyawka 2 5097907 Vitorio's pizza on 18th and 75th street. They always have them, not bad if eaten nice and hot. Mon Oct 12 15:13:35 -0700 2009 4796944 273016 BonnieB.
