Capone’s Hoagies
Superior sandwiches in middle America
The decision to open an authentic, East Coast hoagie shop in Newkirk, Oklahoma is not a decision to be taken lightly. Opening an East Coast inspired hoagie shop in a new town, with no prior restaurant experience is exactly what Bob and Faith Capone decided to do. After moving to Newkirk from north central Pennsylvania to be closer to family and centrally located, Bob and Faith quickly realized there was a need and a market for true Italian hoagies. So that’s what they did.
Opened in March 2022, Capone’s Hoagies brings a mouth-watering menu smack to the middle of the country. Capone’s Hoagies delivers expert sandwich composition and flavor to small town America. Their approach to their menu is simple. Common sense. If the food tastes well-flavored and balanced to owners Bob and Faith Capone, it goes on the menu.
The Massacre is perfection in the form of a meatball sub. This sandwich is bursting with tender Italian meatballs submerged in homemade marinara and blanketed with smooth, melty Provolone cheese. The megastar of this hot sandwich is the red sauce. A closely guarded recipe, the marinara has well-liked flavors plucked from trusted, favorite recipes to create a sauce that is solely Capone’s. Even with a fork, it is almost impossible to eat without creating a mess. Embrace that slinging sauce all over is going to happen and just dig in. After attacking that awkward first bite, thoughts of messiness will take a backseat to thoughts of finger-licking goodness.
The Godfather is Capone’s signature sandwich. Not to be confused with a Philly Cheesesteak, the Godfather is a bona fide East Coast cheesesteak. Thinly sliced, sauteed beef with peppers, onions, and mushrooms cooked in is cradled alongside melted provolone, fresh spinach, and ripe tomato slices in a divine hoagie bun. The entire sandwich is dripping in savory, meaty juice and is unputdownable. Let’s just go ahead and call this the best sandwich in Kay County. Because it is.
The Big Guy is the best cold, deli sandwich on the menu. A hoagie bun piled with freshly sliced turkey and salami, mild provolone, spinach, tomato slices and Duke’s mayonnaise earns its name from a former high school employee nicknamed “The Big Guy”. Always adding salami to The Snitch (turkey and provolone sandwich), Capone’s decided to make this combo a permanent fixture on the menu after the employee graduated high school.
Arguably the most iconic sandwich ever, the Cheesesteak has a dizzying lineup of varieties, but it will be tough to find one as satisfying as the one right in our backyard, in Newkirk, Oklahoma. Capone’s commitment to serve every customer a high quality, made to order, legit Italian sandwiches is pure hoagie heaven, any way you cut it.
