Came here at 1 am when nothing else was open. Although both the person who took my order and the person who made my wrap looked like they wanted to die, I had a great time. I got a giant shawarma wrap and that thing is HUGE, like the size of a kitten. I didn’t think I could but I ate the whole thing anyway.
Also got some baklava which wasn’t spectacular but I had a bad sweet tooth craving.

I don’t know why, but this place makes me sad. They have really good lunch deals and the pitas are always fresh and tasty. It’s healthy too. I really should come here more often.

Pita factory has a great affordable menu for students and their food is really healthy.
For $ 7 inclusive of tax, one can get their special pita and a pop. The pita is amazing and the service is really good.
Would definitely recommend this as a place for students to have a meal.

Food is pretty good especially anything chicken other than chicken soulvaki, it’s pretty dry. Steak pita is quite good to.
Most of the staff is great. However the bosses are not overly friendly but I’ve read that a lot. They effect whether I want to go in or not.

Fast, generous portions, fresh, made to order with the ingredients you request.
I recommend getting it toasted.
All in all, good value for your money.
A go to place for a pita near the University.
And a patio for those sunny days!

This place is a staple of any health-​conscious, veggie-​loving, time-​crunched student on a budget. I cannot count the number of times I’ve ordered their chicken breast pita during undergrad. This place hasn’t changed for ages, and that’s a good thing.
Pros:
+ cheap (esp. with student discount)
+ healthy (if you don’t go overboard)
+ fast
+ tasty
Cons:
— overpriced drinks — that’s how they get ya
— sometimes you get super friendly service, sometimes you dont
Wouldn’t have the plaza without Pita Factory. Will definitely be back.

Since the name of the place is Pita Factory, I suggest getting a pita when you come here :) The pitas are quite satisfying to eat when you’re hungry as a fast food option; but they’re definitely not the best representative of Mediterranean or Middle Eastern food.
Also, I do not recommend getting their plates. The components of the place, i.e. the rice, is very mediocre — it’s filling & since it’s not the best, you don’t feel the best afterwards.

For 6.25, you get their daily special pita and a drink.
However, after 5pm, you can get a $ 5 pita from one of four choices.
Overall, good place to go to if you don’t want to spend too much.

I’m a big fan of the Pita Factory chain. I’ve been to a few of their locations now and the food is always consistently fresh and delicious. This location was very clean and well set up. The staff was very friendly. My lunch was really great.

Love the place! Daily specials are the best because they are so cheap and fulfilling ! I would also recommend trying out their poutine which is also very fulfilling. There’s a bunch of TV’s which is nice if you are there alone.

As a broke student, Pita Factory is one of my favorite places to go when I don’t feel like cooking. The variety of specials ensures I never get the same thing twice, and the cheap price ensures that I can afford it. The pita itself is a much healthier alternative to some other options in the plaza, and the portions are great for the price, just enough for me to «get stuffed.»

Great food and friendly staff. Excellent selection of pitas, and they aren’t afraid to load up the toppings. Very good value.

Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Tons of food for the price. Tasty tasty tasty and quick! Definitely a place to check out for quick, cheap, and tasty food.
I had the chicken teriyaki wrap, I would have it next time without the rice, the wrap is too big anyways.

Friendly and decently healthy. Much more food than Pita Pit for a similar price.

As a student, pita factory is definitely the most bang for your buck. The daily specials are $ 5.75 which includes a gigantic pita and a pop. The default for lunch at University of Waterloo.

Pita Factory is a local chain of fast food restaurants specializing in made-​to-​order pitas.
Their tag line is «Get Stuffed» and they mean it… These pitas are huge!
Favourites of mine include the Chicken Caesar pita and the Chicken Stir-​Fry pita. There’s lots of fresh toppings and usually a line up of people waiting to get their freshly made pita, even late into the night, as this location is popular with the University crowd.
Another bonus is that their nutritional information is available on their
website to help you make better choices if you are watching your diet!

I tend not to like non-​ethic food too much and get tired of North American food especially at school, but I love Pita Factory. I get one thing only and only one thing, the chicken caesar pita with pineapples. Heaven, I love the chicken caesar, I love pineapples, and I love more meshed in one.
The best thing is chicken caesar is really easy to order and quick. Most the toppings are chosen for you. No complexity. Get your student discount and a stamp too and you are good to go. Enjoy!

Once again, just a simple pita joint. But when they say they stuff your pita they really mean it! Not much to say about this place except that you get exactly what you expect!
