I read an article once, where the author would check the bathroom before ordering, because the cleanliness of the bathroom reveals how clean the kitchen is. Needless to say, I should have checked the bathroom before ordering at this restaurant. The bathroom was dirty and there were stains on the wall. I did not feel comfortable.... Also, for the food, I ordered a combo that came with a drink and fries and added an extra shawarma on the side. The person on cash ringed in a two shawarma combo and charged the drink and fries separately. By doing this, I had to pay almost $2 extra for the food, which was NOT cool because this was not how I placed my order. I do not know if this was an intentional mistake for the person on cash to get more money, but I value honesty and I did not appreciate having to pay more. I understand that businesses are struggling with our economy, but I can't recommend anyone to go to a restaurant that is not honest. Regardless, the food was okay. I liked that the shawarma is very traditional, like how you would get it in the Middle East--meat, pickles, and lettuce. The fries were just typical fries, nothing special. Overall, with so many shawarma places around the GTA, I would skip out on this place. read more

Pita Nutso - a plate of fries and a can of pepsi - Mediterranean Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

This place is not the fanciest but the people are ever so friendly! We usually park in the back parking lot and enter from their back door. They are also very fast and efficient with their prep. Whenever we come here, there's usually 4 or 5 of us and we're always in a hurry and we just want to order, sit down, eat and run! They never disappoint you either! Haha. The wraps will arrive on a table in quick time seeing that we are in a rush. They are just around the corner from our home so it makes it easy for us to grab and run. My kids love the chicken on the rocks. Their helpings are generous and their white and chilli sauces are great! Can't them without the sauces! Food is good, service is great and generous portions. read more

Pita Nutso - Chicken with rice and salad. Their white garlic sauce is really good. - Mediterranean Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Cleverly concealed in the middle of Streetsville's entertainment district, next to a naturopath's alleged clinic and across the street from a soulless corporate coffeeshop, there's a rather nifty diner, Pita Nutso. Don't let the humble outward appearance fool you - this place has the potential to become an amazing establishment known for its excellent food and service. The owner is jolly and friendly: he made several trips to my table to confirm how I wanted my dish fried, to make sure I had the condiments, etc. I ordered "The Works" - a yummy combination of potato wedges, salad, pita, and fried meat. It was scrumptious. :) The drink selection was the regular deli fare: bottled water, cans of soda, etc. The only way this diner could be better is if there were better parking. If you don't mind a 2-block walk, there's a giant Go parking lot by the bus terminal. (Don't repeat my mistake and get trapped in the slow traffic!) Overall, this place is much, much nicer than I'd expected, the service was excellent, and the food itself was both delicious and great value for the price. Highly recommended if you're in the neighbourhood and looking for something to munch on. read more

So bland. I had a chicken shawarma and a buddy had a lamb kabob, both had zero taste. We both wanted it spicy but neither had any kick. Only good side is it the food came fast. I wonder why I used to go crazy over this place back in high school when they were pita nutsy. Either they completely changed their recipe or my tastebuds evolved. Either way this will be my last visit to pita nutso. Do yourself a favor and go to either Osmows or chefs door. read more

Pita Nutso - No taste - Mediterranean Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

My friend and I got a large to share which didn't take too long and the plate was just full of rice and chicken. It smelled amazing. The pita bread that came with it was very tasty too. There's just something about the way Pita Nutso does their chicken on the rocks that is just super delicious. Chicken was cooked very well, the hot sauce was just right, and their garlic sauce was just a little bit better than other shawarma places. read more

Pita Nutso - Large chicken on the rocks - Mediterranean Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

The good: It's a large pita with very fresh ingredients, and variety of toppings to chose from. The not-so good: The meat is not really seasoned (though it was fresh), the sauces don't have much taste and the hot sauce is about as mild as you can find. You don't really get Middle-Eastern flavours, but only a slightly improved 'Pita Pit' experience. What to expect: a large, fresh-tasting pita - but frankly pretty low on the taste scale. I was a bit surprised at the high rating, but it all depends on what you're into. read more

Had takeout today...falafel on a bed of hummus was pretty tasty. Hubby had the chicken on a bed of hummus with pita on the side. He enjoyed his meal too. Not much else to say. read more

We've been ordering from them regularly during the pandemic and they never disappoint. They've got the best shwarma in the neighborhood and the staff are the friendliest around. Highly recommend. read more

I was never really a fan of shawarma, until I came here with some co-workers. This place is pretty much a hole-in-the wall with limited seating (a counter and about 3-4 tables) so we usually order to go. They cook and prepare everything in front of you. The best deals are 2 grilled pitas for $11 (one for lunch and one for later), or if you're really hungry and have a friend to split, 2 dinner entrees for $15. Sometimes the dinner entree defeats me (can't finish because there's too much food). read more

Definitely one of the top shawarma spots in Mississauga. The Chicken on the Rocks is top notch - fresh chicken and rice with a savoury garlic sauce. Portions are more than filling too. It's hard not to compare it with Osmow's because they literally share the same building, but I'll give Pita Nutso the edge. If you love Osmow's, you need to give Pita Nutso a try. read more

Had to check this place out after hearing constant raves! I'm surprised that this place was very quiet and it's really hidden in the corner. This review is in regards to the chicken on the rocks, since I'm all about trying and comparing it to other places. First off not bad with the Chicken! It's flavourful, juicy and not dry, rice is good too, fries was not soggy when topped with Chicken. Also, I like how they give you the whole bottle of white saucevand hot sauce to drench your order in. The white sauce was very garlicky, just the way i like it. The hot sauce had a really good flavour but not too spicy. I would say their portion with chicken to fries to rice isnt as much as Lazeez though. Customer service was great! The place is small but there are tables around. If you don't have time to wait around and line up, i say give this place a try! You wont be dissapointed read more

Pita Nutso - Mediterranean Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

This joint is DELICIOUS!!! Definitely a personal favourite. I always get the half and half, it's perfectly balanced with the flavourful light salad and it isn't over-sauced to the point you want to throw up like most shawarma places nowadays. Another plus: the staff here is lovely. Forget lazeez and osmows! Pita Nutso wins. read more

I followed the trail of Yelp positive reviews to this place. I would have never come here on my own as this place is easy to zoom by without noticing it. When we walked in, you're wafted by the smell of fresh grilled meats. There's a HUGE rack of the shawarma just roasting and you can see it's not dry at all. All the vegetables and pitas are laid out as well and it's clear they're all fresh. The place is TINY. Though there are probably 5 or 6 tables, they're all taken during the lunch hour. There's not a lot choices but what they do, it's dang flavourful. I got the chicken shawarma on salad. It came with half a fresh pita that was grilled (yum!). The salad was HUGE. It was loaded up with black olives, feta, tomato, and onions. The dressing wasn't oily and it had great herbs in it. The chicken was nicely charred and had that great bbq smokey flavour. I would have preferred to be given more but it wasn't so bad. It probably was about half a chicken leg amount. My colleague ordered the lamb kabob on a rice plate and he said it was really tasty. The rice amount was insane. It was a HUGE pile on top of the plate. I also saw a lot of people order the pitas. They are just huge in portions as well. I would say it is easily 4 inches in diameter. The service was fast and also nice. I'll definitely return and try their falafel next! read more

I had the chicken shawarma and it was tasteful but not that good, it's about $7 and I don't think it worth it. I've had a Chicken shawarma combo at Rabbah for $5.60 and it comes with fries and a can of pop. Which I think is a way better deal then $7 for just a shawarma that isn't any better then the Rabbah one which fills me up way better. I went after reading the reviews but I honestly don't even see hype about this place, sure the shawarma is a generous size but it doesn't justify the price hike. Probably won't be returning here. read more

Pita Nutso - Mediterranean Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

Don't judge a book by its cover. Yes the decor here is outdated but Yelp is also about the food and I am giving this joint 4 stars. I love the chicken here, just the right amount of spices and cooked perfectly. If you are in the Streetsville area and are craving Mediterranean food you really need to come here. read more

My husband goes there regularly.... and I've been here a couple times. Every time we order food... the service has been great! The guys who own and run the place are very nice and super friendly. Whenever we have done takeout I've enjoyed everything we order. They have a great zesty salad and awesome lentil soup. The garlic sauce is sooooo good... I love loading it up on my chicken schwarma. I will definitely continue going there! read more

When we feel like having a really good shawarma, especially spicy, this is where we come !! Best Libanese take-out in the area! read more

I basically went there after reading the reviews on Yelp. The place is clean, the service is very good. However, I was disappointed with the food. There was a bitter taste in the meats. The rice was very good. And the salad was kinda dull. Overall, nothing to indicate that this place is as highly rated as it seems. I didn't have the Shawarma. So if that's the prime item, I have yet to try it. Perhaps next time. read more

Chicken on the rocks was so amazing! We need this in Southern California! The flavor of the chicken was delicious. The garlic sauce i can literally put it on everything. The plate was filled with rice chicken and the pita bread. I'm going to miss this place and will need to come back up for some Pita Nutso. read more

When I'm in this area, I usually go to Osmow's; however, Pita Nutso is definitely the next best thing. Sometimes, the line-up at Osmow's is too long and I actually choose to come here instead. The sauce at Pita Nutso is pretty good and I like how you can add more sauce on it yourself. Only thing is that I wished they would put more meat in their shawarmas, especially since it is a bit pricier than other places. read more

Been coming here for years and years since moving west of Toronto! Great friendly service by cute chefs! Would love to visit Lebanon for its food based on my experience with pita nutso even though it had its challenges converting into a franchise! Shawarma on the rocks always amazes and the Greek salad is perfect! When I do get a wrap it is always tasty... There's plenty of competition nowadays but I always come to pita nutso if my kids get a craving! read more

Ita been awhile since i ate here but i remember it being amazing. Yesterday i ordered a Shawarma with extra meat and boy did they deliver. Service still going strong after all the years. Deservea every star. read more

Not bad.. I prefer their chicken to Osmow's next door which is "cheat" cooked on a flat top, not true vertical rotisserie style like a shawarma should be. This is the original location before they popped up with 20 other chain locations. It was best years ago when they were The Pita Nazi (then Nutsy, then Nutso) read more

Queen Street in Mississauga has 5 shawarma places atm (including one beside this one and another a few stores apart). This I think is the best as far as the actual shawarma wrap goes, it's just as good if not better than Osmow's at least and the guys here are more friendly...they always have soccer on the TV so it's hilarious when their favourite team is playing and they start cheering. They glaze their pita with a mild garlic sauce which is delicious and they stone grill the bread rather than using a toaster which makes the pita taste so much better...wish other shawarma places would do that.. I dunno about other locations which don't have as good reviews but this one is nice. Not a lot of sitting room and the music is a bit too loud at times but if you're getting take-out then it's good or if you don't feel like waiting in a long line at Osmow's and need an empty table. The prices are also reasonable, they give a shawarma + a big plate of either fries (which I can never finish) or potatoe wedges + a drink for like $6 For UTM students, this is a pretty good place to go for lunch cos it's an 8 min ride on the 44 from UTM and much better than our food options. If they wanna improve then they can maybe use less lettuce in their shawarma's (just my preference) and use better sides because potatoe wedges aren't really that great and the fries are avg (oh and turn the music down during lunch lol). read more

Pita Nutso is a Streetsville staple just like black Kramer ( look him up if you don't know who he is). My usual meal is the is shawarma on the rocks which is chicken with rice. They have great deals if you are getting more than one shawarma, so bring a friend and check it out. read more

I love Pita Nutso. SOOO MUCH! I've cheated a few times with other shawarma establishments, but I always come back. read more

I had to wait an hour in line on Canada day evening after the fireworks. But it was definitely worth my wait. I'll be back!

I come here regularly for lunch. The portions are generous, the staff is friendly, and the food is always delicious. The menu can be divided into two categories: dinners and wraps. The dinners have a base (hummus, salad, or rice) with your choice of shawarma meat (chicken, beef, or lamb) on top. I usually get the 2-for-$14.25 dinner deal, splitting with a coworker. My favourite item is the Hummer (hummus) with double chicken. If you're feeling particularly hungry, The Works is a great deal at around $11; however, I've yet to meet someone who has been able to finish it. The location is pretty small, so if you're with a group I recommend getting your meal to go. Otherwise, this place is fantastic! read more

I decided to visit this place after having a not so fabulous experience at Osmow's. I ordered their version of Chicken on the Rocks, while they did take an effort in preparing it, it didn't just level up to what I am used to from other Shawarma places. I found the sauces and the chicken itself to be too salty. While it may have been an "off day" for them, I am willing to give them another shot based on some of the raving reviews of the place. read more

Had the grilled veggie pita meal. Hot, fresh, delicious. Amazing prices especially for more than one, they have great daily deals such as 2 pita for 14$. Fantastic. read more

I took my Dad there as i was convinced they have good pitas. We were both disappointed though. Quality of the shawarma declined throughout the years. I don't know what happend. Used to be a really good shawarma but the product is just not matching the same standards. Be aware pita mates! read more

The best place to get a pita IMO. The two main guys working are a riot. Every time I go there I'm leaving from laughter because they know how to joke around and make damn good pitas. Also you can't go wrong with the prices either. Two thumps up for this place definitely. read more

Great food. Went on yelp to look up restaurants to grab food. Pita Nutso had 5 stars so I thought that I would take a chance. Turns out the reviews were right. Fair prices to. I got the works and couldn't finish it and I am a big eater. Would recommend to anyone and would definitely go again. read more

Way better than osmows as you don't have to wait hours for your food. Food is good and the staff is good as well

Got 2 or 3 chicken shawarma every week for lunch, great value and freshly cut meat, tastes very good, highly recommended!

I've been coming here for years and years. Delicious and addictive food and garlic sauce. Enjoy the falafel, shawarma, salad, just about everything they offer is very tasty. Seating is limited and usually filled at lunch time so its mostly a take out spot. I love the place. read more

Been coming here since 2001 when it first opened...always enjoyed it. Taste changed a little a few years ago when the owner made it to a franchise model. But this is still my go to place for shawarma. read more

This is the worst shawarma place ever, I've been today afternoon to bring lunch for my family and the person who took the order was rude and doesn't have any customer service experience; i've requested not to put rice or fries on the meal as I'm on diet and he responded with rudeness what do want? I stated that only salad with shawarma will be good. When he filled the plate with the meal he took some of the shawarma back again, and i said why you did that but he did not replied! Also the shawarma was not fresh and it seems to be leftover from yesterday. Not recommended at all; there is another shawarma restaurant just 100 m to the south i heard it is much much better. Avoid buying from this restaurant.. This is the first and hopefully the last time for me. read more
