Watch out, Dunkin’: Tony Poleshek, Jr. has started churning out his own brand of powdered and cream-filled doughnuts at his downtown deli on Orange Street.

Poleshek’s version comes cut in a square and born out of a family tradition.

Poleshek (pictured) started making the doughnuts for the first time this week at the Orangeside Luncheonette at 135 Orange St., not far from City Hall.

He’s handing out free samples Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. On Monday, he’ll start selling the powdery treats behind the counter, where he works with his mother, wife and son. The East Haven family took over the deli two and a half years ago.

Poleshek, who’s 44, has experience in the fried pastry business: When he was growing up in East Haven, he worked for Mister Donut, which at the time was a popular American franchise.
