OrderDoughboys, clam cakes, chowder
Rounds of yeast pizza dough deep-fried, then dusted in cinnamon sugar (or, savory, served with marinara). The Rhode Island shore-shack tradition.
Doughboys grew out of Italian immigrant Rhode Island shore communities adapting fritto misto and fried pizza dough for the beach-shack market. Iggy's Doughboys at Oakland Beach in Warwick was founded by Gaetano Gravino in 1989; the doughboy is part of every Rhode Island summer-shore visit, sold alongside clam cakes and chowder. The doughboy travels from shore to city in the form of zeppole-like Italian-American fair food; Federal Hill summer festivals reliably have a doughboy stand.
