Pita Pit on Jasper

Specialties

At the Pita Pit, we’re proud of what we put into our pitas, and equally proud of what we don’t. Nothing’s deep-​fried, battered or grilled in fat.

We don’t add salt unless you tell us you want it. And we don’t stuff our good-​for-​you, great-​tasting fillings in big wads of bread as thick as a mattress.

Welcome to fresh thinking and healthy eating at the Pita Pit, a proudly Canadian, no b.s. place to eat.

History

Established in 1995.

The Pita Pit Story

When The Pita Pit began back in 1995, Braveheart was Best Picture, Seinfeld was all the rage, the OJ Simpson trial was headline news.

It was then that Nelson Lang and John Sotiriadis decided to open their first Pita Pit in Kingston, Ontario

Today’s trend toward healthier eating was still a long way off, but Nelson and John were ahead of the curve. They were convinced the time was right to offer a fresh, healthy alternative to traditional high-​fat, high-​carb, high-​calorie fast foods. Their Lebanese-​style pita sandwiches were an instant hit with the college and university crowd, especially since the store stayed open late – well into the wee hours of the morning, making it perfect for students taking a break from studying or coming home after a night of partying.

Within two years, franchise stores had begun opening right across Canada an then two years later in the USA.

Clearly, The Pita Pit’s «fresh thinking, healthy eating» motto was an idea whose time has come.
