If you haven't been to Capone's Chicago Eats food truck in Raleigh, NC, you are missing out. For months we would pass by Capone's and say, "We should try that food truck sometime." And that was that. Finally a few weeks back we stopped by, and I am so glad we did. The first thing I tried was the Italian Beef sandwich. The sandwich was absolutely delicious. While there, we noticed they sold "Pizza Puffs". I asked what they were and the man who owns the truck explained it. I then told him about "Pepperoni Balls" and how I grew up in northwestern, PA and I miss them so much. Pepperoni Balls were a local thing up in Erie, PA. He asked for a website to check them out, I told him, and he said he would make them and to come back. We went back that next Friday, but he didn't have them yet. Instead I tried a Pastrami Sandwich. I'll be honest, that was the best Pastrami Sandwich I've had in a long time. I can't choose which I liked more- the Pastrami or the Italian Beef. Anyway, he posted on his Facebook page that he would have the pepperoni balls Saturday. We stopped by and sure enough he had them. He added his own kick to the pepperoni balls by putting the sauce inside the ball and he added prosciutto to the pepperoni ball. Although this wasn't exactly the way they were served in Erie, they were pretty darn close and absolutely delicious!! Now I'm going to struggle every time I go back to his food truck. Do I get the Italian Beef, the Pastrami Sandwich, or the pepperoni balls?
He also sells hot dogs, I haven't tried them, but my other half has and he said they were delicious. If you are questioning pricing, I would say for a food truck and the amount of food you get, it's fair pricing.
Stop by Capone's, you won't be disappointed!! read more
