    I love Pita Pit, just love it. I'd only ever been to the Piccadilly location before even though the Deansgate branch is much closer to me most of the time! On first glance this branch isn't as big or spacious - only a few tables and chairs but it does have an upstairs seating area which is better if you're in a group. if you're like me and prefer people watching, there's a few spots at the front looking out on the road. On this occasion I had the chicken pita with added halloumi (I can't turn it down), and with that some humous, feta & cheddar, lettuce and chipotle BBQ sauce - I'm a plain jane yes but it tasted fantastic! If you've forgotten breakfast, need a quick lunch or are looking for a healthier option for tea, then Pita Pit is a fantastic shout! They have a load of different options and you can chop and change what goes into your Pita to suit.

    My friends eyes lit up when they saw this place . Apparrently they had frequented one when they travelled to New Zealand , but had not seen one since. They do live in St Ives though. Anyway, this place is like a subway but somehow fresher and personalised..and with Pitta bread. When we walked in we were greeted warmly, and asked if we had been here before. I politely said no and stepped up first. First off choose your Pitta bread..large or small, wholemeal or not. Second, choose your centre piece, halloumi, tuna, chicken, beef or just veggies. Next choose your spread, hummus, tasiki or onion chuntney..then the fillings, spinach, sweet corn, peppers, mushrooms, jalapenos, olives, onions, lettuce etc..these can be grilled at no extra cost. I recommend the mushrooms, onions and peppers :) Nearing the end, choose your cheese , Swiss, cheddar or parmesan..and another sauce bbq, sweet chilli.. Under the recommendation of the chef, I chose the grilled halloumi which was tasty and not rubbery.. Each step of the process was explained, and lots of recommendations were provided.. for £1 you can select a drink so this tasty healthy meal only came to £16 for the three of us. To conclude this is a nice alternative way for a quick lunch. Staff were great and they have recycling bins too to help that good ol environment.

    Born in '95, Pita Pit makes mediterranean-inspired sandwiches for meat-lovers, vegetarians & vegans on the grill right in front of you. Simple and easy! Healthy too. Make yur next sandwich a pita!!

    Heading to Pita Pit at 1.30pm, I expected business to be slowing down for them - but it looks like the Manchester lunch crowd is still going strong at this time! After reading about their recent soft launch (and accidentally missing the opportunity to go for free, whoops) I felt like heading down for a new lunchtime experience. The inside is bright and it's obvious to see where the magic's happening - queue to the right hand side, work your way down the salad bar, then wrap up & go or wait for your toasted pita to be ready. The queue was pretty lengthy upon arrival and it was obvious why. As well as there being a lot of hungry office workers in the Deansgate area, there was only one person on the till, one person filling the pita, and one person on the grill. Everything sped up tenfold when additional staff sorted themselves out and get involved in the salad selection area. Meat/veggies/halloumi are all cooked fresh at the grill, which is perhaps where some of the delay comes from. I opted for a regular wholemeal pita with grilled halloumi, then some hummus, cucumber, tomato, spinach, sweet chilli sauce, and red & yellow peppers. You can sit in but I had to head back to the office; it was tasty, filling and affordable lunch option. There's a real health push here, which is good to see, and will be interesting to see if it continues. Drinks are water, juices and smoothies, with the only carbonated options from a brand I didn't recognise. Snack options include rice cakes, popcorn, yoghurt/granola, and pita chips. Nutritional information is readily available at the till point, and is included in your bag if you do decide to take away. Good to know there's something else out there; I'll probably be back in a few weeks, when staff are a bit more settled and the routine has really clicked.

    This is quite a new addition to Deansgate, and with it being very close to my office it's now become one of my regular lunch spots. My favourite item on the menu if the Spicy chicken - I like mine with all the salad and harissa sauce. There is a vast seating area upstairs, so even if you visit during peak times, you still should managed to find a table. I would agree with some of the comments below - this place is a mix between subway and nandos, with their salad and meat combination, however instead of wraps or bread, here you get pita. Also, as the pita gets folded up so that it is easier to eat, there is also the option to have your pita warmed up. When I first visited it took a little longer than I'd have liked to prepare each pita wrap, however it now seems that the staff have gotten into the swing of things and the serving time now is beyond reasonable. I like the fact that there was a choice between white and wholemeal and I must say that the salad and sauce selection is miles better than subway as there is so much more choice. I would recommend that people give this place a chance, I didn't know what to think at first, however now I love this place and I've been recommending it to everyone.

    Like the idea of being healthy? Or how about fresh produce being assembled right in front of your eyes? Or maybe you just like a good price, well this place is definitely for you! Pita pit is, in an easier way to describe, an alternative 'Subway' but with a better range of goods to choose from (and much tastier). You can choose from small and medium pita's which are filled with a main ingredient such as grilled chicken, steak, tuna ect and then topped and filled with whatever salad and sauces take your eye. Some choices are; guacamole, yogurt, spinach, tomato, mushroom, onion, peppers, pickles, cheese's and so much more not to mention over 15 different sauces (including mayo!!) There's also an option for a salad box, much the same and speaks for itself and extras can be added such as drinks and crisps. The staff were friendly and helpful on my visit and there is a good amount of seating inside the store and a couple of tables outside. All in all I will certainly be revisiting this branch and no doubt highly rating it once more.

    Having tried this location for the first time I am suitably impressed with the venue as well as the friendly and polite staff. I took the salad bowl with chicken and was amazed at the choice without extra charge of all the foods you can have. They kept them piling high all topped off with a choice of about 10 sauces. Certainly well worth giving it a try and you wont be disappointed with the quality of the food they serve. I have visited the other location near Picadilly Station which is just as impressive.

    Dropped into the new Pita Pit on Saturday afternoon for a spot of lunch and was very pleasantly surprised with the offering. I decided to try a 9" wholemeal pita with chicken and my choice of salad. Service was relatively prompt although they weren't overly busy. You choose your salad and sauce in a similar way to Subway including a choice of different cheeses. No choice seems to cost any extra. Finally there is the option to have your pita toasted, which I did. I have to say it was truly delicious, and well worth the £4.95 price tag. The drinks choice is all health beneficial and definitely not mainstream. There's also a water dispenser which you can help yourself to for free. Loads of extra seating upstairs with charging stations that include USB ports. There are also spotlessly clean toilets. I'll definitely be back!

    After our spin class myself & fellow yelpers headed to pita pit for a healthy bit to eat..Emma our host made us feel very welcome and when we arrived our previous orders were waiting on the table for us..After a good work out I was ready for my chicken , pineapple salad pita with sweet chilli sauce , a lovey drink cranberry & lime .Also a nice touch of pitta chrisp with a selection of dips. Thanks Matt for another great event.

    Deli Fonseca is one of the few places that makes me wish I was loaded…read more A fab independent deli in Liverpool's business district, it's packed floor to ceiling with all kinds of mouthwatering goodies. The gigantic counter displays a myriad of delicious cheeses, hams, olives, pates, anti-pasti and salads whilst the nearby baskets display fresh sticks and loaves of bread. To top it off, they have dozens of wooden shelves groaning with all kinds of lovely store cupboard treats from organic granola, cereals and cookies to oat cakes, chutneys, olive oils, vinegars, sauces and spices. Now, where did I put that darn lottery ticket?

Nothing complicated - in the end, I ordered a Greek salad and a plate of Serrano ham rather than the pricier mains on the blackboards. I'm not sure how two really basic things could be so disappointing. I think it's because on the surface, this looks like a place that prides itself on sourcing and attention to detail. On the specials during my visit were such items as hand foraged local samphire, Cumbrian lamb and Pink's award winning sausages. So why was the Greek salad about 50% raw onion? Why did it feature those mealy crunchy supermarket basics tomatoes, cold from the fridge? Even the black olives mentioned on the menu were green. And they clearly did have black olives in the kitchen, because my four slices of Serrano ham (almost £6) came topped with a single olive. They boasted it was "20 month aged" - most of it had clearly been in their fridge, as it featured a faint tang of refrigerator and managed to be unpleasantly rubbery. Not sure how Serrano ham can even go rubbery but there you go. If you've boasting of excellent ingredients then it's unacceptable for the basics to fail so badly. I wouldn't bother returning.

It's on the main road, attached to a Morrisons store and is…read moresupposed to be an authentic Italian deli...my expectations were not too high but I have got to say that this place is great and the people of Whitefield are lucky to have such a great deli on their doorstep. They have freshly baked bread, Italian meats, cheese, homemade icecream, olive oil, cream cakes and more. We stopped by for a small bite to eat, which turned into a big bite to eat and we will definitely be back. In particular, I would recommend the fresh bread from here and also the icecream (although not together), the quality of the bread and icecream is exceptionally high.

    When you think of Italy, a shop unit adjacent to Morrison's on Bury Old Road is probably not what…read moresprings to mind. Don't be misled though - Roma is authentically Italian in every way. It's a triple act here - shop, cafe and takeaway. The shop sells all manner of Italian foods - pasta and Roma's home made pasta sauces, rice, polenta, pannetone, home made ice cream, sausages, charcuterie, antipasti... you name it, it's here. Then there's the take out - home made pizzas etc. (we went for a take out salami calzone which was amazing) and desserts. The desert I went for was something with an Italian name which I could barely pronounce so I'm hardly going to try and spell it now, but suffice it to say it was an amazing blend of meringue, amaretti biscuits and Nutella. We didn't sample the cafe but it was doing brisk business on a Saturday lunchtime and lots of the people were clearly regulars. The standout feature of our visit had to be the staff. Even though we were only getting a very small order, they incredibly attentive - taking time to explain the options, asking how we wanted things packing, offering to tweak the temperature of the calzone better to our suiting.
