Pita Pit

Not a bad option for a quick lunch, at a reasonable price, in the west magazine corridor. Fresh veggies and decent meats wrapped up in healthy white or wheat pita bread. Grab a table on the patio to enjoy the magazine street scene.

NEVER AGAIN. Ordered online. After waiting, I decided to call at the time the pitas were supposed to be delivered (over an hour after I ordered) and found out they «didn’t receive the order.» The pita pit website had charged my card and I got an email confirming that the order went through. Either the website is messed up or the staff is incompetent. I’m inclined to think the latter because when I finally received my order after having to repeat it over the phone and waiting an additional 30 minutes, the order was completely wrong! Oh but they did give me an extra cookie… So that’s nice

A few years ago, this place was our jam. Then we moved and they didn’t deliver to our area. We moved again and found out that we could deliver from them again. We placed an order last night and we didn’t receive it until an hour later than said time of delivery! The food was cold and not fresh (their slogan mentions their food to be fresh). We contacted them and they gave us a full refund in credit. We decided to use it again. Same exact thing happened, an hour late but the food wasn’t as cold as the evening prior. A small thing, but we ordered two cookies for dessert (strawberry shortcake and chocolate chip) and gave us two cookies that are neither! I feel like that is a VERY simple order not to mess up.
We will not be ordering delivery from them again in the future. Breaks my heart. Hopefully their take out and in store service is better. They used to be real good.

I highly reccomend this place. The food is AWESOME and the staff is always so nice and friendly. I work uptown so I usually have my lunch delivered and they are always right on time. The uptown club is my all time favorite, I usually get the pineapple mango salsa on it instead of honey mustard and that makes it 10x better.

For what amounts basically to fast food, the Pita Pit is the best you can possibly get. I’ve been a big fan since one opened in my college town back in the day and am always excited when I stumble across one now. I’ll even go WAY uptown NOLA to stop by, which breaks my rule of not really going out of my way for a chain experience. What the Pita Pit amounts to is quality fresh ingredients in a made to order pita with a variety that appeals to Americanized tastes. Its subway-​esque in the «point to toppings» ordering but everything is included in the base price of the pita you order and they grill your proteins as you order. Its just a satisfying meal that isn’t a giant gut bomb. Its not going to edge out your mom and pop Greek place, but definately 5 stars compared to the likes of its fast casual cohorts.

I love pita pit! So far it’s my favorite delivery for a yummy dinner that isn’t greasy and fried.
I have tried several variations of chicken pitas, my favorite being the chicken fajita pita. The sauce is a little spicy, so if you don’t like spice we careful. The veggies are fresh and the meat is really flavorful.
Delivery is fast and the online ordering is simple. The only reason it isn’t five stars is because twice now they have included things I asked to be left off– once cucumbers and another time mushrooms. I eat around it because it’s so good, but if you’re really picky or allergic I would be careful!
Also a big thanks to the delivery guy who came into my house to kill a bug. You went above and beyond man.
EDIT*** these guys really ticked me off tonight. Brought the completely wrong order and when I called they suggested I order again… SERIOUSLY?! Then they said they would call the delivery guy to see if he had my order and could just bring it– still haven’t called back.

Placed an order over the phone for delivery that never arrived. The order was still charged to my card. Called back after a couple of hours and they said another one would be sent out. Still nothing. I was essentially stolen from and nobody I spoke with fulfilled their promise to fix the mistake. Disgusting business practice

Tried this place out for the first time tonight and I’m definitely ordering again! I got the Uptown Club with double meat and a strawberry/​pineapple smoothie. Both awesome. Definitely give this place a try. :)

Tonight we experienced probably the worst service at an eating establishment in quite a long time… for a take out order. Only 2 employees appeared to be working. Multiple customers waiting on food or hadn’t even been helped yet. My wife had to repeat the order multiple times and the employees still couldn’t get it correct. She asked for no hash browns in her eggs at least 3 different times and the employee was either not listening or high because he couldn’t not get it correct. In addition, my wife had ordered a veggie pita and the same employee proceeded to mix MY ham in with HER eggs. My wife stopped him and repeated again that she ordered a VEGGIE pita, which of course did not register at all. He then had to proceed to pick all of the ham out of the eggs once it clicked that a veggie pita does not include ham.
The employees told us they were «out of avocado» because they were too lazy to go to the back and get more. When we insisted that the reason we ordered the veggie pita was because of the avocado, they begrudgingly said they would go to the back and get more to cut up. For some reason both employees had to go to the back, leaving food and eggs on the grill and multiple customers not even acknowledged yet. Unfortunately cutting avocados seemed too big a task as the employees came back stating the avocados were «too ripe.» Nah, they are just lazy.
I swear there had to be hidden cameras around somewhere and they must have been playing a joke. There’s no possible way the service can be that bad.
This was our first experience with Pita Pit and absolutely the last.
My recommendation would be to find any other place to eat.

If you ever order delivery they take to long to deliver it is horrible. It won’t be fresh and they don’t care how you get your food. I ordered at 11am it is now 12:50. I stay 5 minutes walking from them and still my food is not here.

Went for lunch because I was craving a gyro pita. At first I didn’t notice anything but for the fact I was the only one there. First when they got the gyro out to put on the grill it came from a tub the had random pieces of feta and other meats in it. Then as I was telling the guy, might I add the only guy that worked there, what I wanted on my pita I noticed the food on the line. The limes were brown and molded and the cucumbers were so old you could see through them. The place looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in months. The counters and tables are covered in crumbs and the floor is filthy. Then to top it off the guy handed me my pita in a left over pita back that he removed pitas from. Won’t be back.

PITA PIT TAKE-​OUT TAKEAWAYS:
1. It’s like a Subway but they reheat the chopped meats on a grill instead of «toasting» them.
2. It’s affordable: $ 9.99 after-​tax for a 12 ounce «Dagwood», chips and refillable cold drink.
3. $ 1 Double Meat Wednesdays.
4. Nutritional Calculator on-​line is helpful and easy to use.
5. Prime real estate: big bank of window-​seats fronting Nashville & Magazine.
6. I like most everything but the actual pita which is dry and institutional.
7. Open surprisingly late (1AM) and has delivery.
BUT IT’S WEIRD: an upscale building with a big outdoor eating space on a prime stretch of Magazine Street… yet it slings processed hoagies?

I would absolutely recommend skipping this place.
Not good, not good at all.
Had the uptown club, and my GF had the gyro. Mine was awful, she politely said hers was «OK»… which is a nice way of saying awful.
Thats it and thats all
Two-​stars because the service was really good, very friendly.
Lunch quality — poor.

A friend and I were Uptown and avoiding parades, during the Mardi Gras season, when we decided that we really needed to eat. Since all of the good restaurants on St. Charles were blocked by dumb floats (ha), we ventured off the beaten path in search of sustenance. In other words, we went to Magazine Street.
Restaurants on Magazine have this annoying habit of closing at a reasonable hour– 10pm, so we were hoping to find something that was open a little later. That’s when we noticed the glowing «open» sign in the window of Pita Pit. I’m not usually a fast food person (unless it’s Taco Bell, don’t judge me), but we were super hungry so we stopped in.
Pita Pit is basically a Subway for pitas instead of sandwiches. I am obsessed with comparing places to Subway, but here we are. You walk up and tell them what kind of pita you want, and they add whatever «fixins» you want to it. I got the cheeseburger pita with lettuce and tomato with a side of chips and a drink.
The pita was actually really good. I think that pitas are supposed to be healthy, but I nipped that in the bud with my cheese/​meat combo of DOOM! There was a good mix of veggies and cheeseburger in it, so I liked it.
Pita Pit is what it is. It’s a fast food place, but it’s pretty good in pinch. I can see the appeal of it, especially since they deliver all over uptown and they are open until 1am, so I’m sure they do a good late night business.

The food is always fresh. It’s a little pricey and delivery can take quite a while sometimes but there is very little else in the area that delivers. I have ordered here quite a few times and its always hit or miss with the delivery.

I can’t speak to the delivery service (which may or may not be terrible, depending on your level of inebriation/​sense of entitlement, based on reading a few of the negative reviews here) but I can speak of their availability and expeditiousness at 1am when I’d just spent the previous twelve hours at various events/​screenings that were a part of the NOLA film fest and just wanted some GD food before I went on a hangry rampage and then died of starvation. Luckily none of that happened and I was able to sate my famishment with a gyro pita loaded with hummus, spinach, cucumbers, cilantro, roasted corn, black olives, and tzatziki sauce.
They’re open super super late? They have a ton of protein options? They have a shit-​ton of fresh veggies/​healthy choices AND you can make your pita wrap to order? Their prices aren’t completely ridiculous? Yes. Yes to all of the above.
The probably-too-old-to-be-sporting-a-goatee-and-ponytail’d guy behind the counter described the place to me as «We’re like Chipotle… just for adults.» A fair description. He also cautioned me against the falafel by saying «I am a falafel enthusiast, and I wouldn’t recommend the falafel we’ve got.» So take that, for what it’s worth.

I love Pita Pit. Think Subway, but more options, much better tasting, and in a pita. Not sure why this is listed as vegan or vegetarian, but they do have meat. They also make breakfast pitas.
Pita Pits are only in college towns, and I don’t have one close by, so whenever I travel near a college town with a Pita Pit, I make sure and stop for some delicious food. Get you some.

We were riding around late at night and this was one of the few food spots open in that area of uptown after 9pm. We stopped in for a pita and it was just as lame as I expected. I got the chicken with the funny name and it was ok at best. The pita was really laughable yet the price really wasn’t. I don’t think i will ever be back.

I remember this place from Ohio University. After a night of partying during the last Mardi Gras weekend I ordered everyone some grub and it was delivered!
PROS:
–Food was ready in 40 min and delivered to where we were
–Food was delicious
–Big selection to choose from
–Online menu you can access from your phone
CONS:
–Wish it came sooner!

I was on Magazine Street and in need of something healthy to eat. I stopped at the Fresh Bar and was shocked that they didn’t have nutritional information on their dressings. How can a place that serves quick, healthy (supposedly) food, not have nutritional information?
So…I venture down the street and stop in at The Pita Pit. Again, no nutritional information!
I’m starving at this point, so I figure that I’ll just get a pita with no sauce since I know the nutritional information of standard ingredients.
I was really happy to see that they offered whole wheat pitas.
I went with the jerk chicken, which is a grilled chicken breast with grilled onions, green peppers and pineapple.
I added some fresh spinach and mushrooms to my pita.
At $ 8.50 after tip (just the pita… no drink or chips), I found it to be on the high side, but I gotta say, it was very tasty!
I’d definitely hit up The Pita Pit again for a healthy option.
NOTE: I just went to their website to see that they do indeed have nutritional information posted. It would’ve helped if the workers I asked about it knew that. I was told there was no nutritional information on their items.
