Many pizzaria's in NY, and all the italian food vendors at street fairs sell 'zeppilli's' (or is it zeppelli's?) which are misshappen small lumps of fried dough.. and they are often sold by quanity.. 4 for a $1... greedy people soon learn, the small ones are best.. the large ones do often have doughy centers.

they are dropped, hot and greasy into a small brown paper bag, (lunch bag) and generously sprinkled with confections(icing) sugar... you seal the bag, shake it to distribute the sugar, and eat them hot and sweet..
the dough is left over pizza dough, not sweet at all, but the crisp fried texture and the sweet sugar makes them a treat.
