Pita Licious

I stopped by at 6 pm on a Monday and the door was locked. I peeked inside and saw a couple people snuggling in a booth. One came over to «try» to unlock the door but, after a solid minute of jiggling the keys in the lock, «couldn’t» open the door so I walked away hungry.
It’s a shame, this place is really conveniently located for the Embassy Suites and I love me some Greek food.

The last couple times there were disappointing. The teenage staff barely put their phones down long enough to acknowledge me. The order was correct, but the meat was tough. Meh. Then there’s the issue with GrubHub. Drama. Best of luck. But I am done.

I got the Greek salad, which was decent but their Mixed Kebab plate wasn’t amazing as the reviews had said it would be. Nice clean place though.

I went to the Rural/​US 60 location and ordered the garlic dip for an appetizer, which consisted of a container full of white mush with a little bit of oil drizzled on it. It barely had a hint of garlic to it and the mush was inedible. They only provided 4 tiny pita quarters to attempt to eat all that. I also ordered the gyro. The flavor of the gyro was decent, but nothing special. Unfortunately the gyro only had four slim strips of meat on it.
I definitely won’t be back.

The food was so bad and taste horrible when you leave you smell like grease its over priced i went to that place twice and found hair in my last meal «gyro» i will never get back agin

server was nice and helpful, place is in need of a make over. The food was average, chick was a bit dry and the rice was bland. The hummus and pits were good. Bottled beverages only, and they needed to serve a side sauce with the meat to make it more flavorful.

I ordered the Chicken Shawarma Wrap $ 5.50. It tasted great and was a good portion. I added fries and a drink for $ 3 and it came with a large potion of fries. The staff was friendly and courteous. Restaurant is clean. If you want to support a family owned business this is the place.

2^nd time eating here. The gyro is blah. It’s on the smaller side and has pickle which is a nice touch, but it’s nothing special. However, the price is good. The hummus is just… bland. There’s no spice or even flavor really. And the pita for dipping was rubbery and did not taste fresh. I actually threw more than half of it way. If you’re looking for Greek in the area, go the extra couple block for Opa Life.

Wish my food looked like these pictures they post. I’m assuming someone had a bad day and took it out on my order. I ordered garlic sauce and got garlic flavored mayonnaise with oil drizzled on top. A full salad with a tablespoon of dressing in a cup. Not happy I was starving and couldn’t eat half of it. Mediterranean food is supposed to be healthy and delicious. Very sad and still hungry. First and last time with this place.

Cute little place that has very tasty falafel! I got the falafel wrap and my mother got the two sandwich deal with chicken. They unfortunately dont have an ice machine but that does not take away from the tasty food!
Also the staff that was present were very friendly and attentive to any needs we might have!

What a good hidden spot! I bought the chicken sovlaki pita and it was so good, diced into small pieces with tomato & lettuce. My mother loved the tea and I loved the hummus & garlic sauce.

Small cosy casual restaurant with great middle eastern food… the oener is very friendly and always makes an effort to greet his customers. Their Baba is some of the best I’ve ever tasted. Also have special section for large groups snd small parties. Definitely worth a try!

I went to this place at night. The server was nice and friendly. The food was Ok. It was a grilled fish and taste was good but It was pre-​grilled and I think they just warmed it up. It was also a little over priced. People there were really nice but the food itself was average. I may try this place again later.

An aptly named portmanteau! Pitalicious has good food for reasonable prices. The menu has all your Mediterranean/​Middle Eastern style favorites such as falafel, gyro, shawarma, and hummus. The interior is a bit faded but they have nice tables and chairs for you to sit enjoy your meal.
We got a gyro pita, chicken shawarma with baba ghanoush, and grape leaves to go. Unfortunately when we arrived they were sold out of the hummus, falafel, and kanafeh dessert. The chicken plate was actually supposed to be made with hummus but since they were out I substititued baba ghanoush instead.
The chicken was perfectly seasoned and tasted good with the tangy baba ghanoush. The pita bread it was served with was pillowy soft. I would have liked some more pita to go with the meal though as I ran out of pita halfway through eating. The grape leaves are made fresh in-​house and come 6 to an order. I didn’t try any gyro but my husband said it was a pretty basic gyro.
Service was very friendly and welcoming.
I’ll have to come here again so I can try their hummus and kanafeh. Until next time Pitalicious!

When Pita was at their original location in Mesa it was my first and last visit there. I walked in with my friend, not knowing what to expect and we were the only customers but greeted warmly. I was impressed with their food especially the hummus, the rice and their tender meats. I did grab a business card knowing I would go back for sure then found out they closed. I am excited to know of the new location in Tempe. The food is amazing and employees are very friendly. Also the atmosphere/​decors makes you feel like you’re not in Arizona, as if we are taken away in a time capsule. Love it!

Ordered from Pita Licious tonight for the first time. Live in a neighborhood very close by but have been a George’s fan since we moved to Tempe four years ago. Tonight we decided to try something new instead of driving the 15 minutes each way. We were very disappointed with our dinner. The portion size is small, without a salad included, compared to what we are used to. The gyro was average at best and the previous review that cited the tzatziki sauce being watered down was spot on. I felt it lacked any taste as well. My wife picked up the order and said that the interior was old and run down. So is George’s to be fair.

Great food and ok price.
Food was fresh and customer service was really great. I hope prices was a little lower so it could be a choice number one among other middle eastern restaurants, but I’m satisfied with the portion of food. I recommend to try this place.

Stopped in a few weeks ago and ordered the Gyro and Mix Grill to-​go. They were out of Gyros (?!) so ordered the Chicken Shawarma instead. Food was good, nice portions. Mix Grill came with lots of rice and a side of hummus. Service was friendly.
On the negative side, I was by myself (no cell phone or other entertainment) waiting for the food and was able to really check the place out. It was a mess! There were lotion and soap bottles scattered all over an empty display case. The paint, flooring, chairs, and booths had all seen better days… long long ago. The sauces at the tables were crusty and old looking.
I would have to classify it as a hole-​in-​the-​wall… which is fine… Except for the pictures that are posted are not of the same place! There is no buffet, nor would there be room for a buffet. It’s just odd that a place that moved to a new location would open this way, I’ve never seen a «new» place with old chairs, tables, etc.
I love this type of food, and will come back when it’s expanded and renovated.

Excellent food, efficient service, confusing name situation.
First off, I’m a little confused by what this place is actually called. I’m putting my review under this name because the advertisements around the place used this name, but the name «Sheba» was up on the front of the building. So it might be helpful to make it clearer what actually exists at the location on Rural Rd just south of the 60. Whatever it’s called, it’s delicious!
I came here for lunch and went in, despite the fact that there was only one other guy in the place. On a positive note, I got very quick service as a result. The service was very quick and efficient. Whether this was solely as a result of the small amount of people in the restaurant, I don’t know, but it was quick and efficient.
I had the chicken shawarma and hummus plate. It was a large amount of chicken shawarma in a bed of hummus with a side of pita bread. The chicken was nice and tender with good seasoning, and the hummus was quite tasty.
I’ll be back to try some other options. The food I did try was excellent. Hopefully I can figure out what to actually call this place in the future.

My friends and I were so sad to hear that Pita Licious was closing in Mesa. But now there’s a new location in Tempe right near the 60 freeway and Rural Road. The same ownership and same wonderful fresh food. Please be aware that the name for now says «Sheba». Highly recommended for anyone with tastebuds. Best Lebanese place in town!
