230 8th St, Courtenay, BC V9N 1N3, Canada
Locally owned and operated by Fred & Corrie. With more than 20 pita fillings & 40 toppings to pick from, as well as Fresh Fuel Smoothies & Desserts, Pita Pit offers you millions of flavour combinations. Pita Pit was at the forefront of the growing “fresh and healthy” eating revolution, when we opened the first Pita Pit in Kingston, Ontario near Queen’s University back in 1995. Pita Pit delivered what students, families and young professionals wanted but couldn’t find nearby; an affordable yet great-tasting fresh and healthy alternative to high-fat and high-carb fast food."
My wife and I go here probably once a month and are always happy to have a consistently good pita. All the staff are lovely and the owners are very kind and friendly. They clearly just love coming to their store and chatting with people, it’s excellent. I also appreciate that you don’t have to pay extra for things like avocado and hummus, a nice touch.
What an amazing pita pit! The staff are honestly so lovely. They came out explained the entire menu to us kinda new comers. After visiting here after years I was so excited to get my fave quick meal w/ such kick ass service. You don’t get this in Vancouver or in many places left in Courtenay.
These people get it! Come in here on a bad day, and you will leave with a smile. The service staff (& I think owner?) are SO beyond kind, they go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, to make you not seem like a bother, to get your order right (even perfect!), everytime we leave we are incredibly impressed with the customer service. It does help that the food is always delicious, and the restaurant is always clean and inviting!
Cute little location! Very wonderful staff, felt like apart of the community. Very sweet owners! Onto of that the food is amazing! Quick service and will stuff your pita full!! No matter what size! I'd highly recommend going to pita pit over other sandwich shops, I find it to be a healthier alternative. As well fresh veggies
Great owners. They care about their customers. Great pitas! Had a nice conversation with the owner. Also were very friendly with my son a time before today. Highly recommend. :)
This is one of the best places to eat in the city. The staff are wonderful and keep their store clean and food fresh. They are super helpful and cheery. The owners are great people and treat the staff well. Some of them have been working there for years. I honestly wish I could eat here every day. I always vote for them in the Reader's Choice Awards.
What an awesome place! I hadn't been to a Pita Pit in long time and was familiarizing myself with the menu as the family was deciding what they were getting when one of workers offered to go over it with us. They were clearly very busy yet he came over and gave an excellent run through of the menu which helped me decide on trying the steak & cheese. Super nice folks running this place, felt so welcomed. Now about the food... Extremely delicious!!! The sauces really enhanced the grilled to perfection onion, bell pepper and steak and all the fresh veggies!!! We visit Courtney regularly and have had such bad experiences lately going anywhere. From bad service to feeling bad after what we had eaten, to very expensive food not worth the price, we've almost given up on going anywhere nowadays. It was a refreshing experience today going here and we will make this our stop every time now when we're in Courtney. Thank you for running such a great place, well be seein ya!
We used to have a pita pit in Victoria but it closed years ago. We were driving along in Courtney and noticed a Pita Pit so we had to stop and get one! I remember why I loved them so much. So fresh (the exact opposite of Subway) and so delicious. The owner was so kind and friendly and very helpful ! What a gem of a place! Will definitely be back next month when we come up island 😍!
Excellent service, super friendly and delicious!!
Hands down the best fast food service in the valley. The staff are amazing and the food is fresh and delicious.
This is by far the best Pita Pit in BC. Keep being disappointed in all the others as this Pita Pit is soooooo much better and sets the standard the others don t meet. It s now the only one I go to.
We love this restaurant. The owners are always there working making sure service and food is excellent. Always a great experience.
Rain, and Fred are amazing :-) come on down and enjoy:-)
Super fresh veg, amazing flavor, and super friendly! Highly recommend a swinging in for a tasty pita if youre in the zone!
Great food. Awesome portion size and a great price. Always friendly and helpful.
Very nice interior. The pita chips are excellent and they make great wraps with nice fresh ingredients.
Good food, good service and an awesome honest owner run business I had a great conversation with frank the owner who works with his wife and we shared the commonality of working with a spouse. Business ownership can be challenging and having a relationship strong enough to work together and live together well caring for each other takes hard work and dedication. Cheers Robert Nixon
Staff was friendly and helpful in assisting with my order. Got it within ten minutes and it was absolutely delicious. So fresh and I would highly suggest over any other take out!!!
Wonderful couple running the store. Always a lovely experience when I grab lunch. Delicious and fresh always.
Owners are so personable. Go above and beyond. Souvlaki pita was so yummy. Everything is fresh and healthy. Highly recommend!!!!
Yummy and great service!
Fantastic food, great staff, had the cheeseburger pita and strawberry dessert with cheesecake crumbs. 2nd time coming here and it s been great both times. They should update their road sign, as it doesn t reflect how clean and high quality this place is.
We stopped by and were so delighted by the fresh delicious food and absolutely amazing service!! Such friendly staff! We had to stop by again before we left town and will stop by again if we come back!
Best pita in 20 years!
Went in for the first time. Im a sucker for a classic chicken bacon caesar wrap. Couldnt find one in town. Web search led me to Pita Pit. Ordered a regular chicken bacon caesar, asked for double meat, double parm and extra sauce. Could not have been better. Absolutely made my day. Insanely delicious. People were super friendly too. Will absolutely be coming back. Thanks!
Beyond my expectations. Perfectly made wrap. Very satisfied.
Cannot express just how WONDERFUL the staff was! My friend and I stopped in for a quick bite with my 11 month old son. Infant in a restaurant, yikes right!? NOT! Right from ordering they chatted smiled and welcomed us, kid included! They even supplied him with his own mini pita bowl so I could have my lunch in peace. Excellent service, Excellent food. Made this mom s afternoon so great! Thank you!
Always happy getting lunch here. Much better than Subway.
Always happy going to pita pit. Good portions, quality veggies.
I love this family operated business! Excellent food, price and service. They are currently in partnership with us in donating all of their food scraps to our small farm for our pigs!
Always great customer service and always generous with the ingredients! Love this place!
Always a great experience at my local pita pit even if its in the current worst part of town, i always try to make am effort to pop in here and there to get some food. Awesome contest going on right now too!
Super friendly staff and delicious lunch
Probably the best fast food in one of the most unfortunate locations. Id eat this/order here more often if not for the
I am not one to normally give reviews for places like these cause A. I hate most corporate places B. I dont care that much about the quality But wow. The employees who work here are fantastic. Positive, welcoming and friendly throughout. I am beyond with the little custom service I got.
Pita Pit has always had fresh tasty food but the friendly service at this location is second to none. Such an enjoyable experience, prepare to feel valued!
Fresh food, exceptional customer service..they offered to give me extra lettuce,veggies or sauce when building my bowl! Most places dont do that. Super great.
The owner said Dont let me rush you. and I appreciated not being pressured to decide quickly. Thank you. Genuinely friendly service, and great affordable food ready fast. :)
Food is always fresh and very good, people that work there are awesome and always happy and polite
Unbelievable service and always the freshest ingredients.
Amazing service and the food is always fresh. Tastes the same everytime and I love it.
#cantoutpitathepit
Was delighted to strap a feedbag on at my local pita pit! Was delicious and fresh as always. #cantoutpitathepit
Our weekly stop after swimming. Love the friendly staff and the delicious food. Our super picky kiddo loves coming here and enjoys playing peek a boo with the staff! Our favourite stop of the week. Owners are super friendly and personal and go above and beyond! Kid-friendliness: Lots for him to to choose from including drinks. He gets upset when we cant come here because he loves it so much!
Awesome employees, particularly one who just seems to be the happiest of happiness. Food is simply.....Yummy.
Employees are always friendly and helpful. Never a big line. Always tastes amazing. Parking: Good parking
Pita Pit is amazing and goes above and beyond for our community. We order Pita Pit 3-4 times a month for hot lunch at our school. Not only are the pitas and smoothies priced well and delicious, Corrie and her staff go out of their way to make sure the orders are made perfectly, and delivered on time. I d highly recommend Pita Pit for your catering needs, or when you d like a delicious and healthy meal for your family. A special thanks for saving the day today by preparing an emergency order when a mistake was made by another company and the students didn t have lunch. This is exactly why you will always have our business!! Kid-friendliness: Family friendly meals at a great price!
We were looking for Donair and we walked in, didnt see what we thought we were looking for, before we were able to leave, a gentleman asks us some questions of what we were looking for, and we got exactly what we wanted! I would definitely go back! Vegetarian options: Yes Dietary restrictions: Gluten free
great staff and loaded my pita up and was very yummy, the ingredients look fresh and taste even better. Love the taziki very light in flavor.
The staff at this location are incredibly friendly. Always polite. Always cheerful. The food Ive never had an issue with and come here all the time. It always tastes fresh.
very nice guy, had a couple mistakes on my part but was very easy going! 10/10 service
Fresh, delicious and very friendly service! Great hidden gem will be back.
Super friendly staff, great atmosphere, fast service, app makes it even easier, great selection of food, healthier then fast food places, great value Definitely will be a frequent customer
Very friendly and efficient staff. My pita is always SUPER tasty!
#1 go to gfor lunch in town!!
The girl working this evening was awesome.she recommended me a lot of options and was very helpful to make a perfect meal as i visited this place for the very first time!
Always really friendly staff, quick service and delicious food. If you havent tried it yet, I highly recommend it!
Fantastic food! Healthy and affordable and filling. Also friendly and warm service. 5 out 5!
Great service, super friendly staff.
Awesome service!
Thanks to the 2 employees that did our online order that was a little bit late! They were awesome they should get a raise haha ;) hopefully their boss is gonna read this
The food is always tasty, and the staff are always friendly!
Absolute best fast food you can get in the CV with healthy options. Food was very fresh and tasty. Service was also top notch. The only negative, their location is very unfortunate and I feel they would get better business elsewhere.
There was a man with a non service dog in the restaurant who was not removed. When I spoke to him about it he said the owners allow him to bring his dog inside. This is a place that serves food, that is absolutely disgusting for the owners to allow. Especially since the dog lunged around the counter and was partially behind it. They need a food safety inspector visit. Edit to add because the owner responded and completely ignored what I said. The dog was NOT a service dog. It s also appalling the owners believe I should text or call them about the issue instead of leaving a review. Other customers deserve to know a good establishment is allowing illegal animals in their store.
Made a fat pita right before close, thanks guys
Great customer service as soon as you walk in the door. I googled Pita Pit as I love the fresh food. The team here though .go above and beyond. Great smiles and I felt so welcome. Please go and support this gem!!! Vegetarian options: Great place for a healthy lunch.
Love this place.. my go to for a quick healthy meal anytime And to add.. they always give amazing portions for the price Food : 5/5
Very nice spot to grab a quick snack
I love the Chicken Crave. The veggies are always fresh and theres tons of choices. The only thing that Id like to see is the return of green olives.
Answer the phone once in a while what business can t answer a phone ever?
Exceptionally kind and wonderful staff they have
All the staff was incredibly friendly and polite! Pita was fantastic and the service they give is amazing! Love coming to this pita pit!
When you visit a fast food restaurant these days and find three hard-working teammates with genuine concern that you are happy with your order, its a welcome surprise. One or two of the group behind the counter were new to the job, so some inefficiencies in the process need to be ironed out, but a little patience and their attention to detail made for a very rewarding experience. Ingredients were both fresh and plentiful. Highly recommended!
First time in, very friendly staff! Food was made really quick, and the gentleman who served me was excellent with his recommendations. 10/10 will go back again.
Surely the best place for affordable, health conscious, build-your-own lunch on the go. Owner is super friendly and helpful as are the staff. The space is always clean if eating in is your thing.
I have always appreciated Pita pit but had not been in a while. The food was so fresh and there were so many choices. A definitely health choice for lunch.
Healthy, fast, not too expensive
Customer service needs some improvement but the food is great. Strawberry cheesecake Froyo is so good. And lower in calories than icecream.
A much nicer experience for a sandwich than going to that S-place.
Excellent food, great staff! Highly recommended.
Best pita pit ive been too. SUPER fresh ingredients. Excellent staff and always great execution by staff. Well done. Thanks!
Awesome. Smiling staff. Great quick service at lunch time.
You get what you buy
Beautiful smiled fast service!
Fresh veggies, good service and affordable price. Vegetarian options: Vegitarian falafel and fresh produce. Parking: Parking spaces available next door at shoppers drugmart
Was helped by a blonde girl today around 1:45 (didn t catch her name), was super friendly and made me a delicious pita. Her friendly attitude made my day :)
They make the best chicken Caesar wrap
Been in the valley 5 yrs now and decided to give it a try. Was good but will be better next time now that I know how it works. On another note, it was a windy day and the folks eating out side just left their garbage behind. (Idiots) So it was all blown over the sidewalk and street. No fault of staff, but they need to take note.
Happy people, loaded pittas, just an all around awesome experience
Ya pita pit is awesome and fresh!
Wow! Staff were incredible! Food was unbelievable fresh and delicious. Manager came out was asking for feed back. Gave us free cookies. Super friendly.
The food has been great every time! They are generous with toppings and everything is always fresh-tasting. I normally order for delivery, but went in tonight & had the loveliest, friendliest person help me.
Amazing service!! I don t review on google often but this was outstanding service!
Pita pit Courtenay is the best location. The staff are friendly and professional. I have never had any issues ever My wrap is perfect every time Food
Yummy food and Best. Service. Ever.
I miss Pita Pit in Victoria! Great value for a filling healthy meal
I really love their food it is always fresh and tasty
Mmm ita read
Ive come to this place regularly for quite a while because I thought it was great. Not so anymore. The Pitas are getting smaller every time I go there now. The large pita is barely filled and it seems like a small. To top it off, today not only was the Pita wrap small, it tasted horrible. The chicken was totally cold. It was like eating something that had been sitting in the fridge for a day. The young guy who served me seemed totally disinterested in what he was doing. Too bad, I wont be going there again
Great Pitas
Spicy Greek is always A win win!
The best restaurant in the town
It was a busy time when i was there. 3 staff and did a great job!
First visit great customer service, fair pricing, great location if you walk by or at shoppers drug mart. My food was delicious and I will be back and telling people too
Staff are super friendly & accommodating, their food is delicious and healthy as well.
I absolutely love going to pita pit. Thier food is amazing and the staff is super friendly. Highly recommended :)
Delicious but it needs more serving of meat for the price.
Delicious!
Good fresh economical spot. Beyond pita, offering salad bowls. Owner genuine in assuring happiness!
For a Pita Pit as well run and they have a Yogen fruz inside its a perfect lunch or dinner or dessert destination
This is not something I would have chosen normally but now that Ive tried it I will definitely be returning. Great food.
Thats some good food
Went there for lunch yesterday. Food was good, service was relatively quick, but the pitas arent cheap, and I think theyre a bit stingy on the meat. That said, Ill probably go back anyway :)
Always great
Good food, ok prices, friendly staff.
A Must visit Middle Eastern restaurant. Very friendly staff. Tried small Falafel pita which was very delicious. Love the food. Better taste and service than what I had in Ontario.
Great salads. Good work folks.
Love it
Friendly staff and good prices. Quick and healthy lunch
I love pita pit.
dude with the star tattoo had cool hair and makes a good pita
Super Friendly, amazing pita!
Great food
Love that they have a gluten free pita. Prices are decent, and its super tasty. Will definitely go again.
Excellent food
Was busy but it moved along pretty quick. Food was delicious as always but I wish I had of seen the secret menu before I had ordered.
My experience was semi okay , besides the minor health issues with covid , customers not keeping their distance an staff not acknowledging the issue The meals were good Orders a gyro an Buffalo pita one thing i would like to suggest when a customer asks for triple meat give the dude triple meat Looked like just an extra scoop But this was my first time coming to that location May return in the future
cut it out
Im a hungry hippo, and when i wanna fill up i eat at pitapit in courtenay
Have gluten free option
Always a lovely pita! Such an easy to use app too. Even when the app glitched and let me submit an order, the staff was quick to make everything right! :) (The only thing is that sometimes when I order 2 pitas, they re either not labeled, or mislabeled . It s a little awkward to give your husband his pita with a bite taken out of it )
Always a good experience
Always delicious. So happy there is a Pita Pit in Courtnenay!
This place is great, the food is always fresh, the servers are always sweet and do a great job. The Beef and lamb is my favorite. I am very specific when ordering food. I literally specify the exact number of pickles, and these girl smile and make it just right, every time!
Always a grand ol time.
Fast, friendly, healthy.
A quick place to pop in for something delicious and nutritious! Great quality for low price.
The team here are always polite and quick!
Nice food and good prices
Very underrated joint.
Super quick and tasty.
Always a yummy stop to build your favorite wrap or salad for takeout or, to enjoy for a picnic.
Delicious as usual. Thanks Pita Pit!
Its okay good. Fast good
This place is better than Subway any day...healthier too. Cchicken caesar wrap with bacon is my favourite. Staff here are super friendly and always maintain a pretty smile while putting your pita together :)
I love Pita pit, however yesterday , I had the worst service at this location from a woman whom was portly , sores all over her arms , and stretched ear gauges. I asked for a pita that was not ripped ,as when opening mine she put 3 holes in it, she lost her temper and said FINE DONT EAT HERE!!! and then ignored me not even offering a refund and I had already payed. Great product, super tasty , I hope they purge the dead weight that is this one exceptionally poor employee
Always good healthy food for the same price (approximately) as fast food and the service is always welcoming!
Great sandwich, Cuban with chipotle sauce. Was in on Victoria Day and the service was super.
For the price its a decent healthier food option the smoothies are good for $5-$6
The manager blonde bigger girl was staight up rude.
Always great service and Great food
Friendly, fast service. Pita Pit is an excellent alternative to a sub place as they make Pitas to order and have several options to choose from.
Zero Kalvin, I feel your pain. Same experience.. fortunately I chose not to dine in and went back to my chambers to enjoy this freshly assembled pita of peace. Fresh vegetables, I think the chicken was cooked nicely, and most of all no interaction with me. Next time just ask if I want it toasted.. if you re not too toasted to ask. Food - 5 Service - 2 Overall Score - 5
Great food
Deluxe, well worth the trip !
Always fresh and good
Healthiest pitas, always fresh veggies and toppings, great service, I would eat there everyday!
Very friendly staff, good food.
There was this girl with glasses and ear gauges and she made me one of the bestest pitas I ever had, and with the sweetest attitude too! I wish there was 10 stars, cause she deserves it
The menu changes caused a bit of confusion. Theu still have the same stuff on a secret menu...
So delicious! Their ingredients are always so fresh and delicious and last night didnt disappoint. Fast, fresh always a treat!
Like their pitas
Always fresh and delicious
Love the gyros here.
Awesome service and even better pitas. Definitely will go again..
Friendly staff and worked quickly.
Quality and service was really good! Love this location
Fresh, made to order and healthy.
Great food, quick service, everything is made right in front of you. Would recomend.
Decent food and decent price
So yummy
Really good value.
Delicious as usual
Great food, fast service. Not a lot of tables especially at busy times.
Great pita pit spot, the food is great and consistent and the staff are always really nice. Highly recommend this location.
Love this place!
Pretty good pita, no charge for guacamole!
Good
Do not let the dingy exterior fool you.
Love it! Drive from Campbell River to Courtenay just to get a pita!
Fresh n yasty
Food was meh, and the chefs looked like they were dragged in off the street.
