As someone who is part Greek, Pita GR always feels like a little taste of home. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care. We keep coming back for the beet salad, the chicken Caesar wrap, and the protein skewers--they're absolute favorites. Honestly, though, you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Beyond the amazing food, the service is what keeps us coming back just as much. The staff and wait team are always so kind, welcoming, and genuinely helpful, making every visit feel like you're part of the family. If you're looking for authentic flavors, generous portions, and incredible hospitality, Pita GR is a must-visit. Highly recommend! read more

Pita GR - Beet Salad, Chicken Plate, Gr. Potatoes, Chicken Souvlaki Skewers, Steak Souvlaki Skewers - Mediterranean Near Me - Downey, California

My wife and I stopped in and got protein plates and were pleasantly surprised at how much food you get. Each plate comes with a salad, 4 pieces of pita, hummus dip, rice, and even some french fries (very crispy). I had the beef lamb gyro and the braised lamb. The gyro was very nicely seasoned and had a nice bite. The lamb was shredded and very tender, also not too salty which was a plus. We were absolutely stuffed afterwards. You've definitely got a new fan and I am excited to be back to try the loaded fries! read more

It was my first time visiting Pita GR with my sister, and overall, the fries were the highlight of the meal. They were crispy, thin, garlicky, and absolutely delicious. I'd honestly order them again just for the fries. I ordered the beef gyro, and while the flavors were good, the sandwich itself was disappointing. There was so little beef that I could practically count the pieces. The pita was soft, fresh, and tasty, but it ended up overpowering the filling because there simply wasn't enough meat. The beef that was there had some crispy edges, which wasn't my favorite, and the overall presentation looked messy and unappetizing. There was also an orange sauce that added nice flavor, but it wasn't anything particularly memorable. One thing I found odd was that the gyro came with fries inside the pita even though the meal already included a generous serving of fries on the side. I would've preferred more beef instead. Overall, the food wasn't bad, but the portion of meat in the gyro left a lot to be desired. The fries were excellent, but I don't think I'd order the beef gyro again unless they were more generous with the filling. Based on my first visit, I would not recommend. read more

I ordered the braised lamb gyro to go. It comes with a side of GR fries. The pita bread was soft & warm and I loved how thinly sliced the meat was. This is a good size gyro & well stuffed- great if you're very hungry or you can easily eat half/save half. read more

Pita GR surprised me a little bit. They are highly rated on Yelp but FOOD So far, I've tried the Beef/lamb gyro Pita and the Braised Lamb Pita. The protein, fries, pita, and other ingredients were all great. I don't have any complaints. Both were good but the Braised Lamb surprised me. It's not commonly offered at other restaurants and it was really tender and flavorful. SERVICE Friendly and good INSIDE There's a good number of seats and tables inside. It's comfy. The restroom is kind of strange. Not sure if the door locks. PARKING Shared, large parking in the rear. All of the stores here have a somewhat unique set up. The buildings are all up next to the street side. Only the sidewalk is between the shops and the street. read more

Pita GR - Greek froyo - Mediterranean Near Me - Downey, California

This place use to be so damn good. I was ordering from here weekly. When I was pregnant I was ordering here 2-3x a week! I see my review was from 7 years ago so it's time for an update. The last 2-3 years has been hit or miss. I order the same thing everytime. And sometimes the sweet potato is cooked well and other times it's still hard and I have to cook it myself at home. I sent them a video of how uncooked it was last year and she offered a refund which I never saw back in my bank. I didn't go back for months after this because I was annoyed that the is was happening so much and I was so disappointed each time. Yesterday I messaged them to please cook the potatoes welldone and I must have pissed someone off because they left off the halloumi cheese - the best part of the salad and the part that's prob worth anything $. I'm so over it and feel so unappreciated as a customer that was coming multiple times a week. read more

This is one of my favorite lunches during work! They're like a CAVA dupe with some really cool menu options like a Greek-inspired chicken Caesar wrap. The portions are also REALLY generous - my bowl was definitely enough to last two meals! It's filled with veggies, salad, rice, condiments, and lots of meat. read more

They used to have shredded chicken and got rid of it. Came to get my kid something, and asked if they could shred the chicken on the pita for my kid, they said no. I haven't been back since. If the chicken is the same what does it cost you to shred it? I used to come here at least once a week but stopped. I miss it and hope they bring back the shredded chicken. read more

Been going here for a few years and enjoyed my experience for the most part. I've tried many of their menu items like the protein plates and fries and I haven't been disappointed until today. I ordered a protein plate with pulled chicken over the phone which is my standard go-to order but when I went to pick it up, the dish looked completely different. I asked the cashier why it looked different and he told me it always looked like that. I then proceeded to say I have ordered this dish multiple times and asked if they had changed the menu recently...he tells me that its always been that way... I then showed a photo of the dish from my phone which I took a while back CLEARLY showing pulled chicken. He then says...Oh ok I guess we did change the menu because we don't have that anymore. Super annoyed at the staff's lack of knowledge about their own menu items. Minus points for service and changing an item I used to love . To be fair, i'm still giving this place 3 stars because the food has been tasty even though I had a negative experience this time around. TLDR - they changed their menu and i'm annoyed read more

Pita GR - Beef/Lamb Gyro (4oz) with fries...missing a bite. Couldn't help myself. - Mediterranean Near Me - Downey, California

I went to Pita GR since I really needed lunch before a doctor's appointment that was in the same plaza and have been on a Mediterranean kick lately. I decided to give the Lamb Gyro Street Style a try. The portion size was okay. The meat was dry and not much flavor. I probably should have asked for more tzatziki sauce which have helped with that. The fries were good and I really like that they were topped with some cheese. I think it was feta. The staff were very nice abd helpful. The vibe was casual, and relaxing. The restaurant was clean and maintained. I'm glad I tried it but I probably wouldn't try it again unless I'm close by and need something fast. read more

I spotted this place while driving to See's Candies and decided to give it a try, so glad I did. From the moment we walked in, the customer service was on point. We were greeted right away, and the whole place had a warm, welcoming, homey vibe. The menu selection is solid. We ordered the beef gyro and the chicken souvlaki plate. The beef gyro was very tasty, the meat was tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. The chicken souvlaki was also delicious, but the real standout for me was the hummus. It's made in-house, and you can absolutely tell, creamy, warm, and honestly one of the best hummus dishes I've had. It even brought back memories of Papa Cristo back in Mid-City LA, that's how good it was. If you're craving quality Mediterranean food, don't pass this gem up. read more

walked in ordered two gyros . The guy gave me chicken thats burned and dry as card board . The fries were cold and greasy. I called to tell them and he said sorry we are under staffed and to take a picture. Really how about you just correct the order. I dont need to know your under staffed. And what does that have to do with the quality of the food. I will never go back. He needs to know that the customer is always right. Bad food bad customer service . read more

Big shoutout to Gil at Pita GR on Florence & Paramount! He was very kind, attentive, professional, and made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. He took our order exactly the way we asked and even gave us great recommendations that made the experience even better. Especially on such a busy Mother's Day, Gil stayed attentive the entire time, constantly checking if we needed anything else, bringing extra pita, extra utensils, and always serving with a great attitude. You could tell he was always cleaning, organizing, and making sure customers were comfortable. Thank you, Gil, for making our family time feel so warm and comfortable. We need more restaurant workers like you. Truly appreciate your hard work and professionalism, especially on a busy holiday. Thank you again! read more

Amazing greek food, the best gyro I've had in California! Tastes like Greece! Their menu is absolutely delicious! Excellent restaurant with Greek flavours I'll be back read more

I absolutely love pita gr! I come here regularly to dine in. On a Thursday evening about an hour before closing, I tried to order online and I think the system was down. Placed a call and was left on hold. I enjoy the food so much, I went to order in person. It did not appear to be busy, cooks and staff looked at me while I waited to order. After almost 10 minutes someone came to take my order. I ordered Zucchini chips, half chicken gyro, and a beef/lamb gyro wrap. Unfortunately the take out was not theirs best quality of food. Maybe because it was close to their closing time. Fried zucchini was burnt and when bit into, it tasted like grease. That was a bummer because their zucchini is one of my favorite dishes. I also did not expect the half chicken to be chopped into tiny tiny pieces like that. I should have asked that before ordering. Overall their food is great when you dine in, I do not recommend take out. Try their zucchini, spicy dip, zeus fries and their chicken skewers! Dine in food is delicious and it's always clean inside the restaurant. read more

Absolutely the most horrible service. I went and placed an order at the restaurant. They told me about 10-15 minutes. There was no people. It took 30 minutes my order was wrong and while waiting the female cook got into an argument with the guy who was taking orders. Very rude unprofessional and when a client ask them to correct their order they would make a face. read more

I've been ordering takeout from this spot since it opened, but today I finally stayed--and I'm glad I did. I brought my laptop, grabbed a table, and enjoyed a relaxed lunch while getting a bit of work done. Having visited Greece twice in the past 3 years, I can honestly say Pita GR captures those fresh, authentic street food flavors. The space is simple and clean with a nice Athenian feel--plants, light, and no clutter. I ordered the pork souvlaki plate, and it was generous and delicious: two skewers of perfectly grilled pork, salad, basmati rice, pita, and your choice of sauce. Everything was full of flavor. Before leaving, I tried the iced coffee--and that was the highlight. Smooth, balanced, and not overly sweet, just like you'd find in Europe. Just a heads-up: this isn't fast food, so it takes a few minutes--but it's absolutely worth the wait. Definitely coming back. If you haven't tried it yet, it's well worth a visit. read more

came here during my break to get lunch looking for something pretty healthy and honestly this is a good spot. i got a chicken salad it came with garlic fries, pita, and a really good salad with feta and red notions, and lettuce with kale it comes with sauce but tasted really good without it too the portion was also really big so i had a lunch for that day and the next. the fries are thin cut which i love and the seasoning was super good. everything was seriously a nice about to flavor, i don't like my food over seasoned so this was just what i needed. service was pretty fast especially since there were a few orders in while we came. even though i came here for takeout i saw each type of person come in: family, couple, pick up for catering, so they do it all and the vibe is chill yet corporate, it's like greek food made into a fast food restaurant, but i love it cuz honestly we need that, can't just be relying on that trip to vegas to have mad greek lol i'll def be coming back here again read more

Just discovered this place I've tried it three times so far because it's so good BUT the last time I went in the owner was yelling at ALL the employees about one employees appearance..(facial hair) . I've worked in the food industry for years and this is NOT the way you address an issue in the work place . Especially when the restaurant was full of customers. I will not be returning here due to the rude behavior of the owner . I feel bad for the employees that had to deal with that even though it wasn't their fault . Very humiliating for them when they did nothing wrong . read more

This place was recommended by a Facebook Foodie Page, so I thought I would give it a try as part of my Mediterranean food extravaganza. I tried various dishes at over a dozen Mediterranean restaurants in a 6-month period. The flavors of the gyro were good. But I felt like the protein portion for the gyro was very small compared to gyros from other similar locations. Along with the gyro, I had the Zucchini fries. They looked great, just like the photos I had previously seen online. Unfortunately, they were very oily and greasy and not like I expected. The staff was friendly. Parking was super easy. The price of the gyro was comparable to other similar locations. read more

The beef/lamb was good and so was the hummus but the rice & French fries were horrible.

The parking is in the back and you place your order by the door you enter. The nice-sized seating area is on the opposite side where it's nicely lit with a big TV, and an exit door. The beef/lamb gyro was very good and the fries were even better, perfectly seasoned with some Parmesan cheese. The place is clean, and service was good & quick. Definitely should check it out! read more

This place is easily a favorite! My office is nearby and I don't think I've ever heard anyone say anything bad about Pita GR. My go-to is the pork belly yeero plate, it cames with rice, tomato, pickled red onion, feta cheese, fries, chives and tzatziki. It is so good. I can't seem to pull myself away from this order hahaah. Many of my coworkers tend to order the chicken plate, their wraps, or their Zeus fries. I've picked at my coworkers fries and they're tasty haha. Oh, also, their frozen yogurt is DELICIOUS. I've tried the honey and cherry, both are great! I usually order take out or delivery but I've dined in once. It's well kept and clean. Definitely order early and expect an additional 10-20 mins if you order during lunch time. They get busy!!! I usually try to order first thing in the morning. read more

I've been here to get food to go and it's never disappointing. I got to eat inside this time and it was nice. Big dining room, they have a tv for sports. Very clean and bright.
