Pitas and Sticks

Ordered 2 pita wraps (one chicken, one lamb) via seamless, both with «extra meat» for $ 3/​each. Patiently waited for the delivery to arrive and to tear into a hearty, meat filled wrap. Delivery came pretty quick, in about 30 min. Ripped open the bag to reveal the one of the absolute BIGGEST SOFT ROBBERIES that I have ever experienced via skimpy meat portions served by a restaurant. We’ve all experienced this, but i feel like it really hits home alot more when ordered via deliver with little to no chance of recourse. Didnt bother calling to confirm/​complain that this was the extra meat version after seeing similar reviews here.
Wish I took pics to post but i was too hungry and needed to demolish my glorified McDonalds snack wrap. Chicken was semi dry, plus the wrap contents included french fries, which i thought was weird and a sneaky way to hide the pathetic meat portion. SMH

One of the only good places that delivers to my apt in crown heights– pretty good stuff!

The service here is very friendly and attentive. The food is great and always appears fresh. The platters, such as the lamb one, have a lot of meat and always fill me up. In the area, this is the go to place for greek food.

Do not order delivery! I waited for an hour and 20 minutes for completely mediocre food that is extremely over priced. The lemon rice soup was almost all broth and filled about halfway to the top. The Greek fries were over cooked, soggy fries with a little feta. My sandwich had three small pieces of meat. For $ 40 I expect to have better quality food. I will never order again.

Only ordered delivery and extra credit for delivering all the way to Fort Greene from South Slope. The quality of their food is a bit higher than your average falafel and souvlaki joint, but so are their prices. And for the money, their portions are frustratingly small. Ordered their $ 7.00 chicken pita expecting what I would get from somewhere like Mamouns for half the price and it was only the size of a large taco. The whole wheat pita bread is a nice option and pretty fluffy — seems like it might be homemade but not sure. The roasted potatoes that came with the rotisserie chicken were exceptional for a usually generic side. (Crispy on top with fluffy insides and an unexpected lemony flavor) But their eponymous «sticks» are really skimpy compared to a normal souvlaki order, especially at $ 3 – 4 for a single stick. Haven’t tried the shrimp, but $ 7 for one is ridiculous.

First quality ingredients, they were fresh. I also like that they put the french fries inside the gyros. Without sacrificing the crunch. Baba ghanouj is fresh and delicious. Only complaint was the time it’s over an hour just to get my food. Very annoying. Had to call them twice just to make sure they didn’t forget about me. Next time I will go into eat instead of doing seamless. I was going to give a one less star, but I kid you not the food is that damn delicious. The chicken and lamb gyros are the best I’ve had in the city.

This review is based on the delivery. It takes at least 2 hours to get your food once you order on Seamless. On a Wednesday at 1PM? You call, they apologize. Still no food. They say they will call you back in 1 minute, they call you back eventually. This is my thing, if you take someone’s money and you give an estimated time of delivery and then you are 45 minutes past that time, you should call and apologize. You don’t wait until the customer calls you and then you act as if this is the first time this has happened. This has happened to me several times. I will not order from this place again. They are extremely late and they don’t have a word to say about it.
I’m writing this review as I currently WAIT on my food.
DO NOT ORDER HERE. EVER.

I live pretty far from this restaurant, and didn’t realize it until I had already placed my seamless order. I was so worried that my food would take long and would be delivered cold. I was RELIEVED when the delivery man showed up in a car, my food still hot and fresh.
I got a chicken pita with a side of French fries (some weird Greek-​American craving) and it was DELICIOUS. The meat is just so yummy and marinated to perfection. My one complaint is that there was too much feta cheese on top (I ordered my pita with feta for extra). It made everything super salty but once I forked most of it off it was all better. The fries were crispy and great.
I will be ordering again! And I’m dying to try the lamb.

When reading my review, please understand I have spent the majority of my life in Bayside, Queens. The land of amazing Greek food. I’ve been spoiled and have become pretty particular. For those with less experience, please add a star.
Since moving to Brooklyn, I noticed the Greek food choices are significantly less. I was super excited to find a Greek place that delivered, and had all my favorite dips, not just Gyros.
I ordered a chicken gyro, taramasalata, and skordalia. Taramasalata is probably one of my favorite dishes. It’s definitely a acquired taste. I’m sorry to say this one failed, as I really wanted to like it. There was just something off. Like a bad after taste, or too much of something and not enough of something else. Hard to put my finger on. Wasn’t awful, just missed the mark.
The skordalia really threw me. It was dark pea green. What? Any skordalia I ever had, has been white. It’s made of potatoes. I’m guessing it was a spice or garnish blended in that made it green? This wasn’t good at all. Again with the weird after taste.
The chicken gyro was very good, but as others reviewed, small. Not the size one thinks of when ordering a gyro. I did like the marinade on the chicken.
As others have also stated, the prices are very steep for gyros and such.
There’s market here, and there’s a lot of potential for this to be a very successful business. I think changing some recipes, and either revamping the size of your portions– or just lowering the price a couple of bucks would be a major improvement for all.

I will never order from this place again. The worst service I have experienced in NY. Highly frustrating experience.

Ugh. I was a bit hesitant to order, but figured why not give ‘em a shot. Took just about 90 minutes for the food to arrive – and of course it was cold. The food itself is fine – but it’s cold. After waiting for so long, I almost had cereal for dinner, but thought a nice hot meal would be great… I guess not. Did I mention the food was cold?

Really great. Had a traditional Greek Salad (tomatoes/​onions/​olives/​green peppers/​feta). Came up a pita.
Picked-​up. Made almost instantly. Literally 2 minutes in and out the door. At $ 10.88 for a small it was decently priced for a fresh meal that filled me up. I’d go back.

What the hell did I just eat?
I literally just finished my take out order which was simply a greek salad with grilled chicken and man was that bad. Im working in the area and this place came up on Unilocal.It didn’t have the best rating, but i thought to myself they cant F up something so easy.
Well they managed to. First of all my Salad with chicken was $ 18. $ 10 for the salad and $ 6 (?!?) for chicken. Outrageous if you ask me. I even said something to the guy who rung me up.
For $ 18 this salad sucked. Its was small. Nothing special about the dressing which is just oil and vinegar in a plastic cup. Little bit of lettuce some tomatoes olives and thats it. The rest of the salad was made up of the chicken. The chicken looked and tasted like dog food. So messy, ton of fat, some weird breading that tasted like mush. And the chicken was small little dices of meat. Could barely find it having to hunt through all the fat and gross breading.
This place is really bad. Sucks i wasted almost $ 20 on garbage.

This place opened about 10 months ago, i tried it once and it was amazing I came here again for the second time and it was even better than my first visit, amazing food and service

The service is good in my experience. I had ordered out at the restaurant. My order was given to me quick and friendly.
I had ordered the lamb platter. Sadly this was subpar. The lamb was too dry to the point that it had a jerky texture. What’s worse is that it was WAY too salty. The rice was a bit soggy too small of a portion. Needless to say this was a disappointing $ 15 dish.

Had lunch from here and got a Pork stick sandwich. It was very nicely cooked, not touch cubes of charred pork in a pita with tomato, onions, tzatziki and oddly french fries which really didnt hurt it at all. The meat was well cooked, the veggies were fresh and the pita was soft. The only problem was the size. It was tiny, more like a snack wrap and for that reason they lose the 5^th star. I also got the Rice Pudding which also was quite good, creamy and sweet with the right amount of cinnamon. The rice also wasnt hard which happens more oft than I care to mention. My boss ordered Baklava and was also very impressed with it.

Pitas and Stick’s storefront is, how does one put it — not welcoming in terms of it being a sit down kind of restaurant. (Previous businesses have failed because it it too I’m sure, Atomic Wings being one of them though their food sucked also).
Nevertheless the food is solid, portions were generous (sit down), though the service is touch and go. Table next to us was served water after we sat down first.

Fasted delivery to the downtown Brooklyn area, EVER. No sooner did I click the submit button on Seamless, did they show up. Love it.
I get the lamb platter with the roasted potato side and the seasoned rice + tzatziki sauce every time. The lamb is always super delicious, tender and the rice perfectly seasoned and the roasted potato (omg) is just divine.
Definitely on the top of my seamless go-​to list.

I was pleased to see a new Greek place on Seamless. Their menu included items I hadn’t tired before, so I placed my order online and waited for my food to arrive. Though the quoted delivery estimate at the time I ordered was 30 – 45 minutes my doorbell was ringing just 19 minutes later.
When placing y order I was puzzled to see Greek fries priced at $ 6, but an extra $ 2 to add feta. What are Greek fries without feta? I think we just call them «fries». I payed the two bucks and hoped that this meant extra cheese. Nope. Not only was the cheese portion stingy, the rest of the dish comprised of a little dried oregano and… nothing else. I’m accustomed to Greek fries with a greasy topping of melted feta, oregano, fresh parsley, garlicky butter, and a lemon wedge for squeezing on top. For $ 8 this was the saddest version I’ve encountered.
According to the menu, the Prasini is a salad of Romaine, dill, shallots, and feta. Small or large portions are offered, but without standardized measurements to indicate what this restaurant considered «large» or «small». At the mercy of this subjective description, I went with the large, priced at a staggering $ 13. What I received was a very expensive bowl of lettuce, the entire dish weighing in at just 10 ounces in total (photo shared). The promised dill was merely a garnish, maybe 2 teaspoons. There was a nice chunk of feta on top, but the shallots were absent entirely, replaced with about a tablespoon of fresh sliced scallions. The two stuffed grapes leaves on top were a nice surprise, but seeing as I also ordered a portion of these myself, I would have much preferred a reasonable portion size of the salad for which I payed $ 13. Oil and vinegar were served on the side.
I had forgotten the Combo Dip Spread Platter when I placed my order, so I jumped back on Seamless and paid to have that delivered, then called the restaurant to sort out my previous order. John, the manager, was receptive and apologetic. He told me there was an error on the Seamless website, that they had meant to describe the salad as having scallions, not shallots. I still couldn’t believe they’d have the nerve to charge $ 13 for this small bowl, but he confirmed that yes, they had sent what they refer to as a large. But my questioning the portion size and ingredient substitution didn’t inspire him to offer a refund for the cost of the salad, and I didn’t ask; if Pitas and Sticks is comfortable serving this then there is little more to say. John did say he’d send out a corrected order of fries along with my spread platter, and offered to throw in a complementary dessert for my trouble.
So I sit down to eat the Gemista as I wait for the rest of the food. Except, there’s a problem here, too. The Gemista was listed as tomatoes and peppers stuffed with rice and herbs. Though not a fan of stuffed peppers, I love tomatoes, so I figured I’d just share the peppers with my fella. Except there were no tomatoes. Just two stuffed bell peppers with a small side of classic Greek salad. Again, I called and spoke to John, who offered to send out the last stuffed tomato in the house along with my delivery. Thank you, super.
I get started on my lemon orzo soup while waiting for the poor delivery guy to return. Seriously?! The menu included no further description, so I assumed it was just that– orzo in a lemony broth. Turned out to be a creamy chicken soup. We do not eat chicken. I wasn’t calling the restaurant a third time; that’s practically begging for someone to spit in your food. So, $ 5 down the drain.
My corrected order finally shows up, and I open the bag to find fries with a lot of cheese but nothing else, not even a little dried oregano like last time. The dip spread platter and bread were delicious, but the babba ganoush was weird, like they forgot to mix in the tahini. And that dessert he offered for my troubles? Not even included. I give up. Between dinner and 20% tip to the delivery guy, I paid $ 68 for this fiasco. I’ll be contacting Seamless directly.

Ordered delivery so please please eat in. My delivery came aftr 45−50mins. The food looked like it was cooked n sitting around for half an hr before delivery.
I had a shrimp pita and a chicken platter cuz I read that the pita might be small. Pita was in fact, small. Shrimp were cooked nicely but unfortunately there wasnt much of it. Wasnt much onions or tomatoes either. it had literally 3fries to stuff up the inside of the pita. It wasnt completely cold, but the tzatziki sauce was caked at the bottom of the pita. Wasnt such a big fan of the tzatziki sauce.
The chicken platter came with dry cold chicken. Dry to the point where it was kind of tough. The best thing was the greek salad on the side. Nothing amazing about the roasted potatoes, not seasoned enough, not roasted enough either in my opinion. Pita bread not remarkble. My meal was a waste of money.
