About

With more than 20 pita fillings & 40 toppings to pick from, 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.

I bought the XL pita. It was double the price of Subway for the same amount. XL pita is equivalent to a foot long. In fairness, I am not a huge pita fan over a bun. It taste not bad. I just don't recommend it over subway for price alone. Subway tastes better too. They are similar in the way you can build your pita like Subway. Meh to pitas. For pita lovers, I am sure you will like it here. Pretty sure Subway has the Pita option now? Why is the price double here is the real question.. Subway is $10 to $12. They always have deals on their app. XL pita is $22. Maybe they have deals? I never saw any. They have a points thing. :/

Went here for years twice a week. The pitas are way smaller - the regulars are now smalls - the first time I thought it was a mistake and I went back and it was the small size in the regulars price -in simple terms I was paying MORE for LESS food . I never went back again - I ain’t paying for a kids meal

Awesome food Awesome customer service The staff are very friendly and make your food to your liking and satisfaction. I would highly recommend Pita Pit to anyone who hasn't ever tried there.

food and quality is always good but i’ve recently noticed the pitas are wayyyy smaller and stuffed with less. still good but it is not worth the price of a 12 inch subway what seems to be a small pita at “regular” portion.

This is most definitely on the map. In the heart of downtown lethbridge. Start your appetite here at the pita pit . I love their gyro . It never failed on Freshness of the food and its quality…Love it !! So so good! Ciao!

Have been a loyal customer for years. Lately I’ve noticed the pitas are significantly smaller and stuffed with WAY less, to the point they have to fold over the extra pita to try to make it less obvious. Your price for a pita has gone up $2.00 in less than a year, please stop taking advantage of your customers by giving them much less food on top of it.

BRING CASH. Pita Pit on 3rd ave has always been good eats and fair pricing but the concern for me is the tips from the debit/credit terminal do not go to the staff. Many of the staff are young students and get a minimal wage I would guess. Wages are at a standstill while cost of living has skyrocketed. Ok sure, the small amount of coins in the tip box do go home with staff but where do the other tips go? After getting a pita recently the employee told me they don't get the tips and they're 'not sure where they go'. Maybe they're misinformed or something else but it seems pretty shady to me they're not getting paid out for those as well. The employees there are always kind, professional and offer great service but in my opinion they deserve more than a handful of quarters, dimes and maybe a few loonies at the end of the day. Customer service in the food industry can be a pretty thankless & unforgiving job at times. That being said, BRING CASH and tip! A small bit of generosity and kindness goes a long way.

I ordered two gyro pitas and called ahead and asked for 2X veggies (lettuce, romaine, spinach, green pepper, mushroom, sprouts etc). I received the order and it had like one piece of lettuce and green pepper!? Gross. If I wanted a freaking hamburger ( bread n meat) I would have went to Burger King. . What a waste of money. Not impressed.

The small was more like a snack wrap and way overpriced! They barely put any fillings in it with an overload of sauce. Would recommend getting cheaper fast food elsewhere.

Missing some items, bought a rice bowl and it tasted old. Also the pita chips were unedible as they were hard and burnt. If you do order, stick with a pita. I order out alot and this was my worst experience, was still hungry!

December 22, 2022

it took 30 minutes for them to make my food, i ordered a rice bowl off the menu that already had toppings and sauce with it in attempt to get the food faster as i was on my lunch break. and then once my food was brought to the topping area the girl working said no you have to choose the toppings and i ended up with a bland rice bowl with 1 piece of bacon and 4 pieces of chicken on top for $15

Mom wife and I went for pitas when I was in town today, after the order was passed to whom I think is the owner, everything went a little haywire, we needed to confirm all the items and sizes 3 times, he put cheese I never requested on mine and too much mayo when I said a little ( was watching my fat intake). My wifes salad which was vegetarian he kept trying to add meat and went stingy on the veggies, I really want to say he sold us a large salad and ended up with a small because it was so small. Because of all the confusion I was too busy worrying about the other orders being right I didnt end up getting what I wanted on mine. It wasnt even that busy, this use to be one of my favorite places to stop when I come down to Lethbridge and it will now be avoided. On a positive note everyone was friendly just too many cooks in the kitchen scenario orders not being passed along correctly.

Been going to this location for two years now and never have I had such bad customer service as today. There was a trainee training another trainee which made eye whole process slow. The trainee want supervised while making my pita so it fell apart once i opened the wrapper. The lady in charge there doesnt seem to care about anything. Sad I will probably not be in there for a long time again

I had ordered to pick-up and was told it would be 15 minutes. I waited 15 minutes and went to their location. it was not ready nor even started. I had to wait another 15 minutes for the 2 pitas to be made. The person was very apologetic and did not charge me for and extra item and a drink. I returned to the office to find that both wraps were made with the wrong items in with the requested protein. I tried calling the location back and the phone is off the hook. I understand mistakes but multiple mistakes with no way to rectify it is not acceptable.

Was just standing in the store for ten minutes ringing the bell. A customer in front of me had to literally stick her head into the kitchen To have someone come out. I ended up leaving because I only get 30 minutes for lunch. Not sure if the location is understaffed or if the shorter lady with the dark half hair just doesn t really care about customer service

Only 3 stars not because the meal was poor but the server who was new, or in training, added green and black olives when I asked for jalapenos and pickles, not sure if he new the difference. Then my berry blaster smoothie was made without the pineapple chunks, made with orange juice and raspberries.

Very disappointed in our food tonight. It was definitely not up to our expectations. My gyro wrap was mostly lettuce, just a tiny amount of tzatziki sauce, the meat tasted old and burnt. The actual pita bread had a large scortch mark on it where it sat on a grill too long, and the entire wrap fell apart in my hand! In my hubby salad, the Greek dressing had too much oil and too much lettuce. We are very surprised that our meal was so bad, as we are used to a better quality of food from your establishment.

order for our work place was delivered with missing items, was told they would bring them right away. 3 hours later was told they forgot. They did not forget to charge for said items... This a 2nd review, as my work place decided to try to order here again. This time I thought I would pick it up. Got there an hour after it was called in, store was empty, and our order had not even been started. I got major attitude when I asked if it was started. Ive reduced my rating from two stars to one (only because I couldnt do zero...I will never return

I have been getting lunch pretty regularly at pita pit for a couple years now. The quality of the food is always great. However my last 3 visits have been pretty bad. It takes a minimum of 20-30 mins to get a pita between 12:00-1:00 pm. I have been using the app for over a year and still nobody on staff knows how to let you redeem the points you earn. During my last 3 visits i have not even been able to collect points, instead being told to hang onto my receipt and come back when someone who knows how it works can add them to my account. But every time i do comeback the staff can never actually add. I tried the breakfast burrito and my eggs were still frozen when i bit into the pita, and have had my falafel burned to a crisp while waiting in line while it sat on the grill. (2/3 last visits) Really disappointed with this place of late. I dont plan on returning anymore.
