Pita Delite

This place has been one of my favorite lunch spots for years, because I can always count on great food and friendly service. I visit all their Triad area locations and the food is consistently good no matter which location I choose.
By far, my favorite is the Chicken Fajitas Pita, which comes with a bag of chips or a small Greek salad. I almost always opt for chips. The Pita is wonderful. It has chunks of chicken breast grilled with caramelized onions, provolone cheese, fajita sauce, and shredded lettuce. I don’t know what’s in the fajita sauce, but I love that stuff!
Check it out.

Pita Delite is one of several local franchises offering up Mediterranean food in a jiffy. At their core they are a short order grill, nothing fancy, and they stay fairly busy during lunch hours when working folks are rushing to squeeze in a quick meal. For years they’ve made it their hallmark to welcome customers by shouting «Hello!» from behind the counter, but despite this kind charade, my experiences with Pita Delite have left me uninspired. My big complaint is this: the food is patently mediocre. And for what they charge, I’d expect better.
The best food I ate at Pita Delite was their falafel ($ 1.49 for a side of two). I found the flavor interesting, being both familiar and unusual at once. My expectation for falafel is a combination of cumin and coriander, which I certainly found in Pita Delite’s version, but it also contained something extra that lent a dark headiness to the medley — I’m guessing a little nutmeg and/​or clove after a bit of internet searching. Anyhow, it was pretty good, but it definitely wasn’t without flaws. Though it sported a nice crust, you could taste the oil in which it had been fried was past its prime. Also, they don’t offer tahini sauce, which was surprising and disappointing. Instead they offer «fajita sauce,» whatever that is. And why fajita sauce is a specialty of a Mediterranean restaurant remains a mystery for the ages. Anyways, these issues didn’t totally obscure the fact that the falafel were good, but they did point toward some unmet potential.
Besides the falafel, everything else I ate at Pita Delite is hardly worth writing about. Nothing was offensive, but most things were boring or otherwise less enjoyable than I’d hope for. Take for instance their salad. You get a pile of sliced iceberg lettuce, a handful of shredded feta, and a half moon of tomato dressed with their house vinaigrette. The first couple bites are good because you get the full brunt of the tart, herby dressing and the feta cheese. But then you’re stuck with an unadorned mound of iceberg lettuce, and who enjoys eating that?
As far as staples you’ll find everywhere…
The chicken kabobs ($ 7.99 for a single platter or $ 8.99 for a double) are actually chicken breasts sliced lengthwise, which is one of those nitpicky distinctions that probably shouldn’t bother me as much as it does. What’s more likely to bother normal people, though, is their serious lack of salt. They were super bland, and the obvious first step is to add salt to the marinade. It’s not that they need to be salty, but salt is one of those things you may not realize should be there until it’s missing — here’s a case in point.
If you’re more of a gyro lover, their platter ($ 8.99) comes with 6 preformed strips and three sides (pita counts as one unless you ask for something in its place). The meat is the salty, greasy strata you have probably encountered any number of times before, not shavings cut from a spit. Mine were particularly greasy, approaching something like undrained bacon, but admittedly they were tastier than the chicken.
I could go on, but in the end, Pita Delite seems to embody the franchise restaurant mentality — serve homogenized products to impose quality control at the expense of having pride in your food and an interest in improvement. I can’t blame them for treating their business like a business, but it’s almost like you can taste the corners they cut, and it’s not to my liking.

Great food and very friendly staff. Service is always fast even when they’re busy.

Pita delight is about on par with Mythos grill with americanized greek food Gyro and chicken skewers are ok. Salad is the best part.

Most friendly, attentive and efficient staff. Eager to tailor choices.
Expansive and unique menus. Plus all the usual and expected Greek-​themed and American favorites. New sauce is special.
Exceeds expectations.

First time I’ve visited this Pita Delite, I’m usually down the street at Ghassan’s for my usual double chicken skewer & double salad, but decided to stop here & see how the two compare.
The double chicken skewer with double salad I had from here was very good, the salad was very fresh & crisp, but the feta cheese was almost non existent & what little was on the salad was tiny tiny crumbles, really more like crumbs. The chicken was nice also, good flavor from the herbs, but desperately lacked salt, which gave the chicken a degree of blandness even with the herbs it was cooked with. It also comes with pita bread which was great.
Pita Delite has some good lookin’ items on their menu, I’ll definitely stop back by & try more of what they have to offer, but I’ll probably stick to my usual spot for my chicken skewers & salad.

Professional, welcoming service. Delicious food! Way superior to Ghassan’s. Have eaten at each place many times… Pita Delite sure wins out.

This place is very good. The service is prompt and the staff friendly, but the food is a little salty for my tasrte. I usually get the chicken kabob pita, which is pretty tasty, but will probably try the gyro next time. Their fountain drinks are some of the best in town as well – the coke is always sweet and crisp with that signature burn at the end. As far as price is concerned, this place offers great value with generous portions at an affordable price (just under $ 10 a head).

I’ve pretty much been a Ghassan’s guy for a quick mediterranean fix for lunch — kabobs, double salad — low cal and filling. BUT, after lunch today, this place just move ahead, way ahead — on quality, on quantity, and on menu variety.
Our mainstay for this type of lunch has always been the 2 Chicken Kabobs with double salad rather that FFs ($ 8.69), and the platter here was great — the chicken was perfectly cooked, not at all dry, and there was plenty of it. The salad was nice, though a little more dressing wouldn’t have hurt. The pita was also excellent, and plenty of it, as well.
We also tried the Mediterranean Platter ($ 8.99) which provided a nice variety of items — spanakopita, falafel, grape leaves, pita, hummus, fajita sauce, & cucumber sauce. Al were good to very good, except the spanakopita which had a doughy consistence and little taste. The fajita sauce with the falafel was a very pleasant flavor experience, and the grape leaves were tasty, not at all mushy. I enjoyed this platter for the most part.
They offer a nice selection of homemade salads, and some intere4sting sandwiches choices — including a burger in a pita. Like the competition (Ghassan’s, Taste of Troy, Jack’s, and Mykonos), this is not the least expensive lunch in town, but the food tastes freah here, and the portions are well sized.

I’ve never had a bad experience or a bad meal at Pita Delite. Their fries are excellent – the only thing I can’t recommend are the chips, which are kind of weird. Everything else is super-​satisfying.
I definitely missed this place when I was living in other locations, if only because I knew I could always count on it to be friendly, tasty, and fast.
I wouldn’t call the price «great” – it adds up fast – but the food is consistently good, and that definitely counts for something.

Pita Delite is always our go-​to for healthy, reasonably priced, quick dinner. My husband always gets the Mediterranean platter and I usually get the chicken kabobs with a side of the fajita sauce. The kids love the food here too (they have big french fries ;)).

Lots of food for a great price. Crab Salad is delicious as well as Fajita Pita. Decent prices as well. The salad dressing is way to strong for me but great for lunch still.

Pretty good as far as pita chains go. Nothing extraordinary, but for what it is, it’s solid.

If it is on or belongs on a pita, this is the place.
Pita Delight has some sentimental value to me as this is where my wife and I went on our first date. Now after 13 years of marriage, we still return.
