My favorite place for lunch

by claytonjones at Citysearch

There is only one negative about Pita Pit so I'll get it out of the way to start with- they're a bit pricey. Not unreasonable, but maybe a dollar more than I'd normally spend on lunch. That said, everything else about Pita Pit is top shelf. High quality ingredients, great flavor, totally customizable ordering, and great service. If you're looking to eat healthy you can keep your order lean and chock full of veggies. The wheat pitas are delicious but you can even go fork style and cut down on the calories yet again. And believe me, you'll still be full at the end of your meal! Their falafel is some of the best in the city and their buffalo sauce has a nice kick. There is nothing on their menu that I've been disappointed by, I have faith that everything they make is tasty. Keep up the great work guys!

Amazing food...healthy too!

by Raul rivas at Citysearch

Friendly employees, speedy service, fresh ingredients....what's not to like? The pitas are stuffed with any combination of ingredients you want. Big ups to the chipotle sauce and the falafel they have. The chicken, falafel, and veggie steak always make for a good base especially for Vegetarians. Oh, and I almost forgot about the smoothies - which are equally tasty and come in any number of combinations. Once again the falafel is amazing.

  • Pros: Everything is fresh ingredients
  • Cons: None

You gotta get the buffalo chicken pita

by rnb326 at Citysearch

The buffalo chicken pita is great. They are very quick, and moderately friendly. My only complaint is that sometimes they smother the chicken in buffalo sauce and other times they barely put any on. Its annoying having the sauce drip all over you and equally disappointing for their to be so little buffalo sauce you cannot taste it. The preparers need to work on uniformity.

  • Pros: Quick and healthy
  • Cons: Sometimes their green peppers and tomatoes look a little tired and not quite as fresh as one would desire.

Fresh and healthy take-out til 3am! (on Fri and Sat)

by DDetwi1040 at Citysearch

This is the best place to go for a quick take-out sandwich. I frequently order pita pit for lunch or dinner since I love the build-your-own sandwich menu, which includes everything from standard chicken and turkey to falafel and hummus. The variety of condiments, cheeses and sauces to choose from is also impressive. The delivery service is usually fairly quick and friendly, and the price is what I'd expect to pay for a sandwich (~$6). The fact they're open til 3am is also a huge bonus, though I've never ordered anything that late.

Since I like to eat healthy, I appreciate the nutrition info online and that most sandwiches can be made healthy and to suit your preferences/needs. The only downside is that the some of the meat isn't always the best (especially the roast beef) - not bad, but not always freshest there is. But it's never stopped me from ordering, I love this place!

  • Pros: healthy, fresh, menu variety, convenience
  • Cons: roast beef, salsa not always the best/freshest
