TASTE THIS

TASTE THIS! It’s Friday. What’s for lunch?

We still think Friday is the best day of the week. Why? Because we know that lunchtime will be special. It’s the time we can relax and put our editorial taste buds to work by sampling items from local restaurants and offering our candid reviews in return. We’re still practicing social distancing and wearing our masks, and we’re just as hungry as ever. We look forward to sampling what’s out there look forward to accurately conveying the taste, texture, smell and presentation of the food items before us for our readers.

While we started out with three local eateries— Soul House Café, Hong Kong Ruby and Market Street Deli, we’re proud to state that in all, sixteen local eateries have become part of Taste This! We would like to thank them for allowing us the opportunity to sample real food instead of relying on our brown bag lunches from home.

If your eatery would like to be featured in Harrisburg Magazine then reach out to us. Contact your sales representative directly, call the main office at 717-233-0109, or contact Jackie Goodwin, editor, at jgoodwin@harrisburgmagazine.com

THATZ’A PIZZA

Owner, Kevin Shutt, has been flippin' pizzas since his teen years. Standing at his side is his long-time girlfriend, Jacquelyn Cieri, who, like Shutt, grew up in a strong Italian family with many traditions and recipes passed down to her. Spending your childhood in the kitchen with your parents, handing them spices and occasionally getting to stir the sauce, may not give you the qualifications for cooking, but it definitely gives you a starting point for the passion. Taking inspiration from his Italian home life, Shutt brings his family's Tomato Pie recipe to the business. Made from the finest San Marzano tomatoes, the Tomato Pie is topped with fresh basil, and garlic as well as olive oil and a hint of parmesan cheese. The menu includes a variety of specialty pizzas including Veggie, Taco, Hawaiian and the ever requested, Meat Lovers Pizza. Thatz’a Pizza also offers wings, subs, wraps, and a large assortment of appetizers and salads. A glutten-free pizza is also part of the menu. 3800 Trindle Rd., Camp Hill, PA 17011 (717) 920-1320 www.bestpizzacamphill.com
