Pizza and Stromboli
Brick. Oven. Baked. Pizza. Need I say more?
Home | Marzoni's Brick Oven & Brewing Co.
Neat little place, tucked into the town of Mechanicsburg. I've had the pizza and the stromboli, and they were both delicious. They also make really good soup.
SAL'S PIZZA | Pick Up or Delivery | Gluten-Free | Food Trucks
Maybe I'm biased, but I first picked this place because the name was Italian. I was not disappointed, and this is my favorite restaurant to order stromboli from, and the occasional pizza.
Ferrante’s Pizza
I don't often think of pizza as a fancy food, but the presentation here really makes it feel as though eating pizza were high class. Very good pizza and salad.

Fast food
My absolute favorite healthy fast food place. I always choose this over McDonalds or Wendys. I can put something from every food group on my sandwich and have a super balanced meal, not to mention it tastes even better when you toast the sandwich.
Subway
I love ordering the frozen mocha and cheese sticks here, as well as chips and my starbucks double shot mocha. It can be as cheap or as expensive as you want, and if you really want to skip the wait there are ready made snacks and wraps you can grab on the way.
Sheetz
Funny enough, I don't actually come here for the chicken as much as I come for the salads. Very flavorful, filling salads with great dressings. And of course, I get the chicken so I have an excuse to eat the special sauce.
Chick-fil-A
Every time I get hungry for fried chicken, KFC delivers. Store bought does not compare. Best chicken I've ever had.
KFC
Dine-in
I come here every time I get a craving for seafood. Also who can forget those classic Red Lobster biscuits! My favorite things to order are the New England Clam Chowder, Lobster Bisque, Caesar salad, crab legs, steak, and the cheesecake for dessert.
Red Lobster Seafood Restaurants
I grew up visiting this restaurant for celebrations and special occasions. Good food, very affordable and they have a buffet style salad bar. You can leave this place having spent less than $30 for 2 people to eat.
Hoss's Steak and Sea House
A unique blend between buffet style and standard ordering. The menu stays with you the entire time, and you may order as many times as you want. Each order is a small amount of food, so you can sample many more items from the menu before you fill up. It's a great eating experience of food from a different culture, and the crab rangoon is to die for. Yum!
Sushi Heaven
The best American food. The fries are great, the onions rings are delicious, and the barbecue ribs are the whole reason I show up.
TJ Rockwell's | American Restaurant in PA
Delicious pasta, and great place to branch out and try new foods. I have never once been disappointed when I come here to eat. The shrimp scampi is the first dish I tried when I ate here for the first time.
Carrabba's Italian Grill
I've always enjoyed the wait for a table here, they give you free peanuts as you sit there hoping the buzzer will go off soon. I have never had better mashed potatoes than here. Love the rustic atmosphere, too.
Texas Roadhouse: Homepage
Fairly high class establishment. I highly recommend the seared tuna, it was very good. Rather expensive, but worth every bite.
Black n Bleu Restaurant
Great place to have drinks. They have several pool tables, and the servers are very personable. Incredible food, the steak was huge and I LOVED it! I'm going back at my earliest opportunity.
Gilligan's bar & Grill
This place is where I go when I want a good steak. They know what they're doing.
I love the Sangria they offer on the drinks menu, and the salad. Mostly, I love the fact that I can put ALL the cheese on my salad. Great food, great atmosphere.
Olive Garden
Coffee Shops
Great mission, wonderful atmosphere. This shop is a nonprofit that helps kids ageing out of the foster system. The staff is so friendly and the food and coffee is quite good.
The Cracked Pot Coffee Shop
I've only been to this coffee shop a few times, but hands down the best breakfast sandwiches. I need to get back there again.
Down to Earth Café
This place has the best selection of foods to choose from to have with your coffee. Very good sandwiches, I need to go back so I can try them all.
