I remember when this place first opened! This little Mediterranean eatery in Lawrenceville was (still is!) a great addition to the area. While Pita My Shawarma serves a limited menu, and doesn't have a ton of seating options, it makes up for those things by serving up flavorful meals. They serve shawarma, salads, and classic dips made with hummus or baba ganoush. They also serve fries, which reaaaaaaally tempted me last time I stopped by...but my coworker only ordered a salad, so I followed her lead. She kept hers completely vegetarian by topping it with falafel, while I opted for chicken. Our meals were prepped and brought out to us quickly, which we appreciated since we knew we had to go back to the office in a reasonable amount of time. It was a bright but cool fall day outside, so we opted to sit indoors and enjoy the sun through the large front windows. I'd definitely come here again...and next time I'm getting fries! read more

Randomly found this spot while driving around and thought the store had a catchy name. Finally decided to try this spot and omg! My wife is addicted to this place now. We have order from here through Uber Eats a LOT! Got the chicken shawarma rice bowl and chicken shawarma! The bowl is DEFINITELY filling! This is the closet to the real shawarma I've tried. Love the pickles they put in there! Ooooo and if you like garlic like really really like garlic they have a nice strong garlic sauce they put in the food! Will definitely be back! If you are a shawarma fan you should try this place! Haven't tried the other items but will be back for those! read more

Pita My Shawarma - Chicken Shawarma & Rice (Halal) - Mediterranean Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

This is a small restaurant with only countertop seating. I went for lunch to try their shawarma but I am in interested in their nighttime restaurant. It was interesting watching them make it behind the counter. I thought the chicken in the shawarma was a bit dry and lacked flavor. While the fries were a bit on the saltier side but were very filling. I would want to try the supreme shawarma next time but I think the regular shawarma is nothing special. read more

Stopped by while walking around Lawrenceville and needed something to eat fast. The chicken shawarma was so flavorful from the seasoning of the chicken, the garlic sauce, and the tangy pickles. There was just one guy working, and he was very nice and helpful in my decision of what to get. It's a very small spot with not a lot of seating, so definitely best for a quick in and out bite. Apparently they have a tapas and wine bar in the evenings, so I would definitely want to come back to check that out. read more

Great small restaurant with really good food. Only disappointment was going to the restaurant yesterday, having placed an order for 7:30, only to find the store completely closed, lights off, and empty. This was the second time ordering where the hours displayed are not honored. Refunds were given both times, but a bit frustrating having placed an order just to find on arrival that I wasted my time. read more

I ordered Pita My Shawarma and had it delivered so I definitely want to try this place again in person. Based on what I ordered and what I received, I think it's slightly overpriced but I'm wondering if it's different in person. I ordered the chicken and rice bowl and it was $16. Fine, but it was a very small container and the portion was definitely on the small size. Almost $10 for a cup of fries was a bit much to me too. Overall, the food was pretty good. It was cold but that's because of delivery. So like I said, I want to try again in person because I'm hoping I'll have a better experience. read more

If I could give this place negative stars I would. It was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had!!! The service was terrible. The young man at the counter was extremely rude and clearly didn't care about customer service. The food was not good either. I had a chicken shawarma salad that had very little chicken and the bacon was so hard you couldn't chew it. The shawarma wrap was very dry and not good either. I definitely don't recommend. read more

We get food here relatively often (maybe once every two months), always get the supreme shawarma, and always love it. It's bursting with flavor, with a great mix and balance of ingredients. Its most distinguishing feature is the garlic sauce, so garlic lovers should definitely give the shawarmas here a try (and garlic haters should beware). The supreme shawarma is so large and fulfilling, it easily feeds two. Though my partner and I prefer to share one, it's not impossible for one person to finish it if they are appropriately hungry. I haven't tried anything else at this place. But just for the supreme shawarma, it's worth a visit. read more

Made my way back today for lunch after communicating with Jason. I'm glad I did! The Shawarma platter was as good as the other reviewers noted. Chicken was moist and full of flavor. Everyone has a bad day and was happy to give another try. It won't be my last time! read more

This food is VILE. We ordered take out because we saw it on one of the Pittsburgh food instagrams and they hyped it up big time. We paid $55 for a side salad that consisted of lettuce, cucumbers and onions, 4 falafel balls, 2 scoops of hummus and roughly 10 shreds of chicken Shawarma. Everything tasted like one giant clove of garlic without any other flavoring. Potentially the worst Lebanese food I've ever had. For sure the worst in this city. read more

This place looks cute but I was pretty disappointed. There was no AC inside on a super hot summer day. Everyone says it's expensive here and it is for a basic chicken pita wrap since it ended up being $14 for just chicken and lettuce in a pita. I am low fodmap and the food here isn't really that low fodmap friendly. I had the garlic sauce on the side that I didn't end up using. Inside the stale wrap was chicken and lettuce. It had little to no flavor and the chicken was not what you normally get at Shawarma spots I've been to in NYC. It felt more like grilled chicken. It didn't feel like the pita was heated up either, the whole wrap was kind of cold. Definitely have had better shawarma from a cart on the street. read more

You walk in and immediately smell deliciousness and can see meat on a spit being made at Pittsburgh's most authentic shawarma. Pita My Shawarma located in Lawrenceville, serving up Lebanese street food, falafel, Halloumi fries, hummus and more. Started as a food truck and has evolved into that plus a storefront. Absolutely incredible food. They have some seating indoors, some outdoors, offer pickup and are available on food delivery services as well. Super clean space, very friendly staff and you can watch them make your meal as the kitchen is exposed. Tried their hummus dip and pita which is fresh homemade hummus with two loaves of fresh pita bread- may be one of the best homemade hummuses I have had! The Chicken Shawarma & Rice is a fresh, hand stacked, & rotisserie shaven chicken over Lebanese rice with fresh veggies and a garlic sauce. This was delicious and the portion was a decent size (I had leftovers)! Had to taste their hand-cut Zaaatar fries- wow were these good. Hand cut fries with sesame, thyme seasoning and kosher salt with a side of ketchup and aioli to dip! Couldn't leave without tasting their Baklava- with an order you get two pieces of this sweet dessert made with filo dough, walnuts, simple syrup and pistachio crumbles. I am jumping on the bandwagon, Shawarma Is Life!!! read more

Food was super bland. I got the chicken and hummus and it was not great. The food had no seasoning and it didn't taste like anything. Service was also not great. Definitely not worth the price either. I got a combo and it was almost 30 dollars for a small portion of essentially hummus topped with a quarter cup of veggies and a few pieces of chicken. On a positive note the outside of the restaurant is cute and the pita was good. I definitely won't come back. read more

It was exactly what I was looking for! Wanted something that didn't cost too much, had a good bit of protein, and wasn't too fatty, and this fit the bill!! The pita was overfilled with lean chicken and surrounded by lettuce and pickled veggies. There was also this great garlic sauce on it that really tied everything together. Nice location well decorated. read more

This was my first time trying this restaurant. I'm a big fan of shawarmas in general and had heard from some of my friends that this was a spot worth investigating. So like the food detective I am, I decided to stop by on one of my walks and take it home with me to properly savor it. I was not disappointed. The first bite let me know everything I needed to know. Pairing it with extra garlic sauce was a great decision that I recommend. You can tell the chicken is fresh and spiced very well. I know it's a small thing, but I also appreciate how they heat up the pita bread before assembling the shawarma. It's a small detail but I think it adds a lot of value. This is definitely a spot worth stopping in and grabbing a shawarma to go. I wouldn't say I was particularly inclined to sit in the restaurant. In my opinion, this is a more grab and go type of establishment. Nonetheless, I think it's a restaurant worth trying if you haven't already. 4/5 read more

Easily the best, THE best shawarma fries I have ever had. The guy at the counter was chill and made the food fast. I could talk about these fries for days. The seasoning, the hummus, the chicken, absolutely phenomenal. Top notch in every field imaginable. Great drinks too. I personally got Mexican coke, but they have a wide variety of other stuff. read more

Kind Owner, Incredible Food -- Get the Loaded Fries! Pita My Shawarma is one of those rare spots where the food is amazing and the people make you feel like family. The owner is truly one of the kindest I've ever met--always welcoming, generous, and clearly passionate about what he's serving. Everything is fresh and flavorful, but if you only get one thing, let it be the loaded fries. They're hands-down the best thing on the menu--crispy, perfectly seasoned, and piled high with juicy shawarma, creamy garlic sauce, and all the toppings. It's comfort food done right. Whether you're a regular or a first-timer, this place hits every time. Highly recommend read more

We just had a chicken shawarma and a falafel at Pita My Shawarma. The owner was very friendly and the food was delicious. I had the falafel, which was fresh and tasty. I love the Pittsburgh twist of fresh crunchy pickles in the falafel. I heard that the chicken shawarma was good too. The fries were good too. But the best part of the meal was baklava. It was crunchy with a tinge of sweetness. read more

It's a halal place in Pittsburgh, which is nice. But, I was pretty disappointed with my wrap from this place. The chicken shawarma was not what I expected it to be, and just left me really underwhelmed. First, the prices. Most reviews will mention the price, and yes it's definitely on the expensive side. I'd be okay with paying the premium if the shawarma was incredible. But, it's not. The chicken had a somewhat rubbery, chewy, odd texture and the flavor was also off. The pita itself was somewhat stale and I've definitely had far better pitas at other locations. Highly doubt that this is homemade (for a price like this, it definitely at least should be homemade pita). A few pieces of tomato. Barely any garlic sauce, as if it wasn't even included. Chunks of pickles that were pretty decent. They did follow my order instructions to not include the lettuce, which was nice. All in all, would not recommend. Very underwhelming, especially for the price! The flavor, portion, and prices are all off. Would rather drive to Mt. Lebo for Laziz's incredible wrap. read more

First off. It was $42 for only two people. I was expecting this would be really good. But man was I wrong. We got the shawarma bowl. It had chicken that was rubbery. And tomatoes that were huge. The worst was the dollop of garlic sauce they put right in the middle that absolutely ruined the taste. I had to soak mine in hot sauce just to over power the garlic. The fries could've tasted good if they weren't soggy and undercooked. Overall paid a lot of money for a really dissatisfying meal. End up throwing most of it away. Save your money go somewhere else. read more

I ordered a build your own falafel pita. It was excellent. Fresh, tasty, and filling. My only extremely minor issue was that the garlic sauce is strong enough to kill an elephant. I'd like it toned down a bit. I think that next time I'd go w/ sesame sauce. My wife was less than thrilled w/ her falafel and Shwarma bowl. She felt that the falafel was too dense. I'd happily go back. Jason - the chef / order filler / do it all guy was pleasant and working hard. The restaurant isn't much to look at but it's bright and clean. read more

Last night, we wanted to eat something different so we decided to try Pita My Shawarma in Lawrenceville. So glad that we did! Both the chicken and the beef (only available on weekends) were so well seasoned and so flavorful. The beef really packed a punch. Loved the garlic sauce On the beef. The French fries were hand cut fries and really good. We liked the chicken best. Next time, I'll either get the loaded fries with chicken or see if they could put chicken on the Halloumi Fries. The reviews said the Halloumi Fries were really good. I love cheese so I'm in. Check them out. There is no space to eat inside but they're little patio is open. There is also a table in the front we ate on. Masks are enforced which is good. read more

Conveniently located on Butler St, I've been wanting to try this place countless times that I've passed by, so I finally stopped in last evening to grab a meal to go. I ordered the falafel wrap and baba ganoush dip while my friend ordered the chicken shawarma. Their pita comes from Pitaland in Brookline, another local favorite. The food is phenomenal, but the lack of a/c and unfriendly demeanor of the staff was just ok. I will be back to try some of their specialty fries and baklava, the outdoor space looked nice. read more

I stopped in last night for a falafel wrap and a side of hummus and it was very good! I really haven't been able to find good falafel in Pittsburgh and this is definitely the best I've had!

I also really appreciated that it noted which items were vegan right on the menu. More places need to do this!! read more

A neighbor has been working with several area food trucks to come and set up shop in the neighborhood once a week. Tonight, Pita My Shawarma was the scheduled food truck (if the food truck is sent from a different location than Butler, my apologies). I like shawarma. My kids are too finicky to try something new, and my wife isn't one for it, so I don't often get the chance to pig out on the stuff. So when I heard this food truck was coming, I eagerly awaited it. Scheduled my dinner around it, actually. It was our understanding that the truck was supposed to arrive at 5PM. 5 o'clock rolls around, no sign of any truck. 6? Still nothing. By 6:30, I had to make other dinner arrangements, and apparently others did as well. Eventually I find out the truck eventually DID show up. Just shy of 7PM. Okay, shit happens, so be it. Maybe I'll still be able to grab one as a snack for later? No. Why? Because whoever was in charge of the truck for the day decides to pack up and leave at 8 on the dot. So you're two hours late, and then you only stay for an hour? What the hell guys? read more

Stopped in the afternoon and picked up a chicken shawarma and a falafel wrap for the wife and I. Food is made to order and was made up in just a couple minutes. It smelled so good that it took every ounce of my self-control to wait to eat until I got home! The falafel was light yet flavorful, and loaded with fresh vegetables. The chicken shawarma was also very tasty and worked well with the sauces. Food is reasonably priced and I'd definitely come back when in Lawrenceville! read more

So I went back at the request of the business. And I must say. He treated me really well and gave me a try at their chicken schwarma sandwich and fries. From my last review I barely got fries. Barely got a sandwich with warm meat. This time. Much much different. They have worked the kinks out and are now able to not only provide fresh and warm meat but they didn't run out of chicken. Which I must add is seasoned perfectly and tasted out of this world. I wish I had pictures to post but I killed half the hot fries on the way home. The portions are much fairer now and quite large. I'd say they would challenge five guys in terms of how many fries I got. The sandwich itself. Perfectly cooked and seasoned chicken. Veggies and a sauce. It was simple and traditional but delish. I wish they did add more sauces / a hot sauce though like you see on those foreign Instagram food posts. Would be a sick addition. All in all def will come back for that giant chicken sandwich. So good. read more

I came across this place on my Instagram and I couldn't believe we have a legit place right here in Pittsburgh. My Shawarma experience comes from Germany (Turkish and middle eastern eateries) and Israel. We got Chicken Shawarmas and mine came with an addition of Hungry Jess Sriracha Aioli. The pita was crispy outside and soft inside with the chicken just melting in your mouth. Loved the spice blend and took me back to Israel! It was really filling although I was sad when I took my last bite. I don't have any other places in Pittsburgh to compare with and I know it's a little bit more expensive compared to other prices. I am not sure I will try any other places just to save a few bucks. read more
