This strikes me as a very Providence tradition. Never even heard of St Josephs day and the accompanying zeppole before moving here.
Who has the best in town? Where do YOU go?

For best Zeppoles I recommend Deluise Bakery or Sal’s. Both on Chalkstone Ave about a block away from each other.

Yes but it needs to be the fried ones. Delicious.

I moved to the west coast (San Francisco) and I discovered Zeppole aren't really a thing here. I went to 4 different bakeries yesterday looking for them and every single one was like "Huh what is that?"
Apparently their St Joseph's Day traditions include something slightly different called a "sfingi". It's like basically the Sicilian version of a zeppole.

Pastryland Bakery in Smithfield definitely. My favorite is their ricotta Zeppole.

Deluise Bakery on Chalkstone In Providence. But I give props to La Salle for their Led Zeppole t-shirts.
