Pita Pit

I miss this place! I use to eat here on a weekly basis when I worked in the downtown area. My favourite go to place for lunch whenever I’m in the Adelaide Street West area. Don’t let the small space put you off. You will not be disappointed, friendly staff and a quick healthy lunch. What more can you ask for. This place is a gem and the healthy yet tasty menu keeps me coming back for more. You’ve got try this place.

It´s just around the corner to the Canadiana Backpacker Hostel. The food is very tasty, the staff friendly and funny and really not expensive (for Toronto) at all.

Good pita joint. I had the southwest chipotle steak and it was ok. The meat was delicious and hot but the bread and toppings were cold so I didn’t enjoy the mix. Service was friendly but not genuine. You don’t expect more though. A bit overpriced for the value. Overall not bad, it won’t be my first choice but I could go back sometime for a change.

Good selection, great service and reasonable prices makes Pita Pit a winner in my books.
I was in the mood for a quick but reasonably healthy lunch and decided to give Pita Place a try. Walking in the door, the first thing you notice is the small space and lack of seating (only 4 chairs and a small bench). Don’t let this put you off.
The menu itself is very comprehensive with lots of options for meat lovers and vegetarians alike. They also have salads along with the regular pitas if that’s what you’re craving.
The staff are very friendly and like chatting with customers as they wait for their orders which is nice. $ 8 for a fresh, tasty lunch served with a smile means Pita Pit is definitely worth trying if you’re in the area.

This place is a very solid lunch spot. Quick, priced right, friendly staff, lots of choices. Big fan!

Most of the staff running this place are very friendly, and have been around for years.
It’s a solid place for a quick bite to eat late in this area. Can’t go wrong with the chicken breast pita if you spice it up with the right sauces.

Staff is super friendly. I see in previous posts that there was no seating then, but I went in today and there were 4 chairs and a table.
The guy who runs this place is nice and gave us a discount. He’s very positive about Pita Pit and really believes he’s offering a healthy and economic choice to higher fat fast food. I agree with him, Pita Pit is a good option.

Pita Pit is a solid franchise pumping out consistent product in every location I’ve been too. Just like this one.
Been to this one a few times as it’s located next door to my client’s office.
There is no seating inside. You come in, place an order, wait a bit while they roll your pita, and back you go to the office. In and out in 5 minutes.
The staff are attentive the needs of customers. When I ordered a falafel, they asked me if I was a vegetarian (I am not) and if it would be okay to throw mine on the grill (that’s the only way I like it, no microwave, please).
BTW, if you ARE a vegetarian, they have half a dozen options for you, which if pretty cool. Other options include chicken, beef, and gyros (lamb).
A great place to grab a quick lunch that you can take back to your desk but not a place you’d go to with someone else to have a conversation over a meal.
There is some street parking available (paid). The lots are scarce in the area and keep disappearing as new condo buildings are being built around.

Awesome Greek Wrap. Reminded me college days with friendly over the counter girl managing whole place (taking order, cooking and packing). I enjoyed this quick take out meal.

This brought me immediately back to my university days. I ordered a chicken caesar pita and this tasted just like the ones in Waterloo!!!
For a quick grab and go lunch you can’t really go wrong.

Great lunch spot. Craig and Nick (the owner)
are both great guys.

I have been to Pita Pit’s from Ottawa-​Kingston and have seen the good, bad and ugly. Whilst pursuing my academic dreams the Pita may well have been the only source of vegetable I consumed. I’m talking of the toppings for those that think I may be losing it and that I actually may be suggesting that a pita in itself could qualify as a vegetable source.
All joking aside I have been more than impressed with the quality and service at the Adelaide location, because as those of you who eat or have eaten a lot at PP know all locations are not created equal. In fact I find it hard to think of a franchise that embraces such disparity across locations to a greater degree then PP. However I have always felt that the Adelaide locale is home. It was the first PP I frequented after awkward nights out in the club district, and I knew that if all else failed I had my double chicken pita with extra mayo and hot peppers to seek solace in. It was during these formative years that I came to truly love the pita and embrace all that it was and is. it was one drunken revelation I had that would forever seal my attachment to the beautiful pita, and I remember it clearly. I was sitting on the sidewalk in front of PP when it suddenly hit me. I was getting everything I needed in a meal from this pita. It gave me sustenance and strength and it tasted incredible. I couldn’t believe that I had missed this observation previously and at that moment decided to blurt out my undying love for all things pita. It was also this moment that I’m sure I will undoubtedly be sharing with a psychiatrist in the not so distant future.
I should note that the Adelaide PP is super generous with toppings, specifically cheese. I have been to many a PP that will not give me both cheddar and feta. Here this has never been a problem. When I asked gingerly if this could be accommodated before I was in the know I was almost laughed at, and watched in awe as the generous pita man loaded me up with both.

I’ll admit, when I think of Pita Pit, I think of university. Mainly ’cause that was the last time I went to one.
But this week (after realizing my love for Pizzaiolo’s being overshadowed by my body’s strong dislike for clothes that fit), I’ve decided to give this pita joint another shot.
The pita-​maker at this location was very friendly, prepping my pita in fairly good time.
The pita itself wasn’t too bad. The cucumbers and alfalfa sprouts were fresh, and the chicken and olives had just enough flavour. But I probably would’ve liked to taste some more of the horseradish dijon mustard I was encouraged to try.
(I guess the guy didn’t want to scare off repeat business by permanently burning my nasal passages.)
Unfortunately for me, the Pita Pit pita **still** fell apart half-​way through my meal — just like the good old days. (Perhaps I’m just not enough of a pita pro to eat one of these without spilling the filling.)
And I know I’m probably betraying my age by asking this, but: since WHEN did Pita Pit get so expensive? $ 7.80 for a pita? Seriously?!
Overall, though, it was decent. And if it keeps me away from the greasy Gorgonzola and hot Italian sausage, I’m willing to try it at least once.
