Avoid this location until they fix their staffing and hygiene issues. I waited 30 minutes for my food while watching an employee prep meals without gloves, a beard net, or proper hand-washing between tasks. It's a shame because this used to be a great spot, but the lack of cleanliness and slow service makes it a no-go for me now. read more

flies in the store poorly lit uncomfortable seating; only large tables, and they're too closely clustered. service was good food is poorly mixed; meat is on one side, and the final several bites were primarily cheese and lettuce mediterranean steak was good, although there were too many clashing flavors read more

I walked in literally right as she opened the doors... I wouldn't normally do that, lol... but I just happened to finish up work while I was out here in Salem and saw that they had a pita pit! I LOVE pita pit and rarely get to get it because there's none where I'm from, so I had to grab one before I headed back home.. and unfortunately, that happened to be literally right as she opened the doors at 10 AM. She was super kind, though; I felt bad walking in right as they were opening up... but she didn't make me feel bad about it at all - she was very welcoming. The pita was absolutely delicious; totally worth a stop - thanks again! read more

Food was great good vibes nice open space felt at home when eating there the owner is very nice as well!!

We know the food is great---but when we tried to go today Sunday 3/22, we watched the employee peep around the corner at us and "close" early at 5:15 when they were supposed to be open until 6. That's after waiting through the "bathroom break, be back in 5-10 minutes" sign he had put up. Once we started to walk away, employee shuffled out to close up so we couldn't come back in. read more

The pitas are good but not mixed well. I ended up with a warm, meaty side and a cold, lettuce-y side. The seating downstairs is cramped, but the upstairs seating is roomy and fairly quiet. They have lots of topping options and the employees were moving quickly. A nice lunch, but certainly nothing unforgettable. read more

The food is alright but you can definitely get better Greek food other places. The service was pretty good. They were fairly fast for only having two people working there read more

The food is PHENOMENAL. The owner was so extremely nice and friendly to us. Enjoyed chatting with him. The atmosphere is cozy as well. Thank you! read more

We ordered food for a lunch meeting at the hospital and not only did the food arrive two hours late, it was missing half of what was ordered. Not a great experience. read more

Ordered online with a 20 min pick up. Arrived 25 minutes after order placed. Doors were locked. Emp inside but ignoring myself and another customer who ordered online. After 10 more min another emp show up. We asked if they were closed and if they would be fulfilling orders. He mumbled something under his breath. Myself and other customer wait another 5 min then go inside to ask again. Emp stated they would be working on them but gave attitude about how long. Original emp finished the online order she was workin on and packed it up and left. She never spoke to myself or the other customer. Waited until 45 min past when I placed the order. Asked again and said it had been 45 min and none of the food he was preparing was mine. Received a bigger attitude and he said "well now you can wait another 45 minutes". WTF. I ended up leaving. No one is answering the phone so now I have no pita. I managed to connect with one of the owners and received a refund. Sounds like they are struggling with finding reliable employees right now. read more

I normally love going to this place. The pita sandwiches are outstanding, however multiple times I have come here for lunch when the website says they are open, but they are closed. They always seem short staffed and the last couple of times, their soda machine was broken and didn't seem to have any intention of fixing it. Pita Pit- I love your food but your service needs improvement. read more

This place has gone down hill with quality and service. The chicken is processed and mushy despite being grilled. The pita bread is small and thinner than it used to be. The veggies seemed fresh enough and sauces are tasty. Mainly due to the meat I would pass on this place again. If I wanted gross processed meat, I would eat at Subway. read more

Walked in at 10:30 am this morning, with the business opening at 10:00 am. As I entered, I was basically met with three blank stares and then one spoke up to tell me they couldn't help me because "as I could see, they were in the middle of a large catering order." Since when doesn't every customer matter. Was amazed I couldn't be worked in. Seems better arrangements could be made to "cater" to everyone who walks through your doors. Will not be back. Thankful to have so many other options to choose from who value all customers. read more

Worst breakfast ever had, when I got it it's cold, even I saw them using the grill to heat something? It even has ice chips in the lettuce...... would never go back again! read more

I decided to swing by pita pit tonight on my way home. I met the new owner Mr. Wood and we chatted for a bit while he cooked up my delicious pitas. The service was quick and everything looked super fresh. The flavors were amazing and I am going to stop in again next week and try something new I haven't had before. I want to eat my way through the menu! If you want fast service, friendly conversation, and fresh flavor stop in today! read more

Yesterday I went to Pita pit have been going to this location for a long time and normally has good food, and got a sandwich for lunch. The chicken was rubbery did not have any taste whatsoever. I took two bites and threw it away. Probably not going back anytime soon. read more

New owners, new management, food and service is so much better! Definitely will come back

They got my order wrong and then forgot to give me my drink and the guy at the front dose not listen at all they are very slow and have the worst customer service read more

First time trying a gyro from Pita Pit and it's amazing. Fresh ingredients and various meaty layers. Delicious and healthy. read more

The food is good but the place needs a good cleaning. Everything from behind the counter, to the tables, the floor, and under the soda machine are always filthy. Once they get it cleaned up I would give them 5 stars as I enjoy the pitas and the options they have. read more

The falafel isn't too spicy, so it's suitable for a kid's meal or just a spice wimp. The pita is fresh, the hummus is good, and the grain bowls are fabulous. Everything is customizable read more

We ordered a Philly cheese steak, a prime rib and a hummus wrap. The Philly cheese steak had melted and uncooked mushrooms/onions in it, making it more of a salad than anything else. The prime rib although requested without horseradish nor lettuce had both. Lastly, the hummus wrap had almost no hummus at all. All in all a terribly disappointing experience. read more

I ordered a Pita through GrubHub. Asked for no Avocado in the instructions. What do I get? FUCKING AVOCADO!! Can theses assholes not follow instructions? I know it's not the delivery persons fault, as they have no control over what is ordered. I should have known better, because everyone I talked to about this place said that the staff are complete and total fuckheads, and to never go there!! I took a chance for convenience and got burned. I hate you Pita Pit!! Never again!! read more

I've been looking for a great gyros sandwich in Salem. I've had three before this and the best I've found was from Arby's, which was surprisingly good considering they don't specialize in Greek food. Not totally authentic, but also not bad at all. Pita Pit, though, is my favorite, by far. $8 gets you a very generous serving. Their pita bread is very good and fresh. It has lettuce, tomato, red onion and tzaziki sauce, like most gyros sandwiches, but they also add feta cheese and kalmata olives, which for me was a very nice touch, as I love pretty much any kind of Greek food. read more

Really great food. I especially liked the Thai Chicken in wheat wrap. Service was a little slow and they seemed surprised to see anybody there but other than that outstanding food at a very reasonable price! read more

This is so bad. After waiting for 30 minutes, we got a salad as there was no brown rice made to make the bowels. The spinach is not fresh and the overall salad just tastes bad. The extra avocado for $1 is a guacamole. Such a waste of over $10 and no lunch to eat... read more

absolutely love this place. it's rare to find a pita or falafel place that lets you customize more than a subway and these guys are great and really friendly. they really deserve more attention, consider swinging by! read more

Pita Pit rocks. The food is so fresh and so delicious. The options are limitless. The staff are typically super nice and stuff your pita to the hilt. They have a cool reward system. Spend a certain amount and earn a free pita when the time comes. I love the gyro pita. I always get extra meat and just go berserk on the thing! The meat isn't 100% like you are getting it at a Mediterranean/Greek spot, but for being the next go to, it's the next best thing. Roll in and try it sometime. You'll love that you did. Thank you Pita Pit for being my Gyro spot when I got the hankerin'! read more

I've been driving for delivery service for a few years and this is one of my stops I have an affinity to try out some of these restaurants I delivered to and from this restaurant is way different it is the best place I finally ordered from the food is clean I feel cleansed when I eat there I can't explain it any better but you can taste every piece of food that's in their pita or bowl and collectively you can taste everything at once I highly recommend it you will never regret it money well spent read more

Ordered through Yelp/GrubHub. Pita I ordered was missing the meat. I paid $1.50 extra for it and it wasn't even on the pita. Everything else (my coworkers food) was ok, Quesapita didn't come with hummus or a side dipping sauce. read more

I love this place! I was super excited to find one after moving to OR from SC, because they started disappearing from my hometown! This was a huge college hangout/quick meal place for me, and .. not gonna lie, I found it absolutely hilarious that it's on the corner of State and High St. because it was definitely a stoner's paradise. I've honestly never gotten anything other than their gyro pita because it's just the best. Essentially, you choose your meat meal, then if you want a white or wheat pita, and then your veggies/sauces/cheeses (and there are a lot of options). My gyro combo tends to be tzazika, cucumbers, onions, tomatoes, feta and BAM, delicioso. They also have a rewards card which is pretty sweet :) read more

I love this place but the service over the past 6 months has really gone downhill. Walked in tonight at 752 and was refused service because they were closing. Didn't matter that I only had a one sandwich. Didn't matter that I was getting it to go. Didn't matter that were open to the public till 8. read more

ZERO stars! Stay away at all costs! I completely agree with the other negative reviews but would also like to add this: the service sucks with a capital S! I have not seen attitudes like I saw here anywhere else, and I travel quite a lot in the US and overseas. This chic at the register might as well work at the state prison with all her charms. While the food may at times be passable (and only then if you tell them how to make it every step of the way and make sure they cook the meat - seriously!) however even in Salem you can find much better food at decent prices. If you don't mind undercooked and possibly cross-contaminated food, screw-you customer service, and waiting way too long to get your sandwich, you may not mind eating here. If on the other hand you like to be treated like a human being and you don't want bozos cooking your food, go somewhere else. Really. read more

Four stars if you're lookin to spend some quality time with your commode, otherwise this place may not warrant a single star. I don't know what it is about Pita Pit but each of my three visits there has resulted in what my friend calls "bubbly guts." Lest you wonder if I ordered the same thing every time, I did not. Three separate occasions (with considerable time in between them) - one result: gastrointestinal distress. Perhaps that is TMI for some people but at least you've been warned. The idea of the place seems good -- Subway meets Americanized Middle Eastern options. Pitas? Hummus? Tazatziki? Falafel? Bring it on! With generous portions to boot! However, the reality is the service is mediocre (a bunch of teenagers with plenty else they'd rather be doing) and the taste is just OK... it's the aftermath that is the real deal-killer. If you don't mind that - or you're looking for bulimia alternatives to preserve your tooth enamel - then, by all means, surrender your body to the Pit. Otherwise, I'd suggest steering clear. read more

Tried the Pita Pit yesterday with my Partner. We were shopping downtown and got hungry as we were leaving the downtown area so we popped in. I was a little surprised at the decor. As Chuck B. pointed out, it was very garish and a little on the juvenile side. There were two staff behind the counter, both young women who appeared to have much better things to do than work at the Pita Pit. I perused their menu and noticed on the door there was an advertisement for their Gyro, Dagwood and Souvlaki Pita's. I opted for the Souvlaki, and topped it with a Berry smoothie. I sat down at a table that was too small for adults, and waited. My partner remained at the 'fixin' counter. The next thing I know, I am being asked what I want in my pita. "Whatever is supposed to be in a Souvlaki" was my response. I got an eye roll from the gal behind the counter as she said; "It has whatever you want in it." This struck me as odd, because certain named sandwiches have certain ingredients in them...this is why I ordered the Souvlaki in the first place, I didn't want to decide what to put in my meal. After making a few selections of vegies and cheeses, I watched incredulously as the gal flung the ingredients into the pita. The result was that I received a pita that was layered and worked my way through those layers. I think that the Pita Pit is probably more busy on the weekdays as it sits directly across the street from Marion County Courthouse, so perhaps the Saturday staff are not so bright. It will be a while before I go back, because frankly, I wasn't that impressed. read more

It is good food. However the woman who says that she is the manager is a disappointment. She is slow and not willing to help her employees when they are busy. She does not convey that she genuinely appreciates her customers. I have introduced tens of my co-workers to this specific location. My job site ordered lunch for over 100 employees, that was based on my supervisor's suggestion. He had never heard of the place until I bought him a pita. That order would have not been placed unless it was for a patron passing along the word. (in this case, me) Lindsay had mentioned that on her request that I was no longer welcome there. I asked to speak to the owner and she said that he doesn't like to be bothered. I would like to think that an owner would like to receive input from their patrons. I hadn't passed along the word to my supervisor, really, well, because once I drive down the street, Lindsay isn't worth another thought. However, when I do pass it downtown, I do feel what she is doing is wrong. Pita Pit is awesome. The management can be replaced. read more

After reading the reviews for Pita Pit I was a little surprised at all the negative reviews. I have never had a bad experience here. I really like all the different choices of pitas you can get. My favorite is the turkey, bacon, avocado. I always get mine as a salad because of gluten issues. You get a very large portion of food for what you pay. Every time I have been there the veggies have been really fresh and tasty. I would recommend that you get your food to go. They don't have very much seating and if it is busy it gets really loud inside. Some of the employees are really friendly, but others need to work on that. If you are offended or judgmental about people with tattoos and piercings then you probably shouldn't frequent this restaurant. I don't think I have seen an employee there that isn't pierced and tattooed. read more

I only gave a star because zero is not a option. Literally the WORST customer services EVER!! The guy was so rude and condescending I walked out. There are far to many other businesses that will gladly take my money without the attitude!! read more

Love love love the Pita Pit. I don't know what gastrointestinal distress everyone else is talking about, as I've always been fine afterward. I've only every ordered the falafel though, so maybe that has something to do with it. When I'm in a hurry and don't want greasy garbage or bland Subway, I head to the Pita Pit. I love falafel and love that there's a place in this town to get it quickly (other than my own kitchen). read more

I absolutely love eating here. When Pita Pit opened in Salem I was so excited! This place has great Pitas with fresh Veggies. The staff is a bit "edgy" I suppose for some, but just like the cartoon veggies on the walls that some feel are "dated" it's all part of the atmosphere of the pit! This isn't subway, this isn't McDonald's, and it certainly isn't a high end place - it's the pita pit. It's delicious food, fast service, and I am in love. I've always had great service, too! Keep on rockin' it Pita Pit! I will always be back! read more
