Paradise Dogs

One of the most beloved hot dog stands in San Jose, CA, Paradise Dogs has been dishing out tasty eats across the beach for well over a decade. Hot dog enthusiast Vince Tuzzi discovered the original iteration of this food cart in 2000 and it was love at first sight. He offered to buy the stand almost immediately, but the owner was not selling. Tuzzi was unperturbed and spent years eyeballing the cart. Eventually, he was able to purchase it as his own. Vince and his wife Margie both poured loads of time and effort into building their brand over the years, working on weekends and weekday nights while maintaining full time jobs. While they’ve since sold Paradise Dogs, the new owners have kept the establishment going in a fashion that honors the Tuzzis’ original vision. What will you find at Paradise Dogs?
