Pita Pit in other cities:
My husband, who is wheelchair-bound, and I tried to eat here on Saturday but were unable to. While this restaurant has a wheelchair-accessible entrance and a lift down to the counter/register area, we were dismayed to find that directly in front of the lift, theyd placed a table where two people were eating. One employee offered to move the table for us, then another said that it was out of order because the key had been stolen, then the first said that they had the key after all, and by this point, my husband was embarrassed by all the fuss and wanted to leave. He hates being the center of attention so going out in public with his disability is hard enough. Having a spectacle made over a blocked wheelchair lift just made the whole experience humiliating for him. Wed planned to spend the afternoon downtown but left directly after eating elsewhere because he was so over being in public at that point.So yeah, if youre in a wheelchair, dont bother coming here.
Pita Pit is easily my favorite late night place DT- the food is awesome, and the employees are always super understanding and patient (dealing with a lot of drunks can be rough, I know!). The mediterranean loaded with tzatziki is the closest thing I can find to Döner in Athens, and it is always awesome. Im just sorry I dont eat there more often! Reasonably cheap, open until 3, and convenient to campus, Pita Pit is great.
This is a great option if youve got $10 in your pocket, youre rather hungry, and looking for something above average. Excellent gyro wraps with lots of other options for friends if they dont like gyros. The chipotle souvlaki was a great start for my first time there. The pita is stuffed and rolled like one of those giant burritos at a burrito chain. Easy to hold and enjoy without lots of mess. Plenty of good options for fillings and toppings without having to dip into paying extra for premium ingredients. Giant souvlaki gyro served exactly my way = $7. You could split it between two people for a modest lunch date if you needed to. Ill certainly go back.The lost star is only for the relative lack of available seating. I counted four group tables inside. If you come at a prime hour, chances are youll need to take it outside to-go. Otherwise, the seating was plain but suitable.
Not bad, but not the best. Its the Subway of Mediterranean food. The way they serve you is just like Subway as the ingredients are all laid out in front of you, so you know whats going into your food, but also like Subway, the food is pricey and quite bland. Theyre a chain restaurant, so obviously their meat is mass produced and pre-packaged rather than fresh made like Souvlakis and Habibis, which in comparison taste much better.

2022-06-07Food was really fresh and very tasty. I had a gyro salad. Service was very friendly and the building is cool. It used to be a bank and you can eat in the old vault!

2022-03-15I had the chicken wrap meal with a sweet tea, and it was delicious. The wrap was a perfectly balanced dance of flavors from the chicken to the vegetables and dressing, and it was huge in size; the tea was just the right amount of sweet; the chips were top name and the cookie was home made and baked just right - firm on the outside and soft in the middle.My friends had the philly cheesesteak and falafel, which they said were equally as delicious as the chicken.If youre looking for truly good food and large portions at a reasonable price, Pita Pit in Athens is your place! I will definitely be back!

2019-08-17Awesome place! It was a scorcher outside the day my girlfriend and I decided to stop by here. It was our first time eating here, and we wandered in off the street without knowing anything about the place. I had the Thai Chicken pita. It scorched my mouth and pleased my taste buds. I was happy to find out the Pita Pit is so well reviewed. I definitely recommend this lunch spot!

He is a very nice guy to talk to. Overall, I am very pleased with this place and their service. I will constantly come to this Pita Pit as long as I live in Athens!
