Popped in for a quick dinner and Pitaland did not disappointed. We got a "large" falafel and a "large" gyro which thank goodness we got the large size because we are from NY and we are used to big sandwiches. We also got grape leaves and I was not sure if I should get meat or no meat so I let the person taking my order decide. They chose meat and I am SO glad they did. They were delicious and hot. My falafel had lebanese pickles adding a delicious crunch! My husband's gyro meat was sliced so thin it was almost shaved and the sandwich featured copious amounts of it! We ate at the counter which was not fancy but it sure for the job done. While waiting, we browsed the grocery section and got some pita to take home with us. read more

How lucky am I that my husband brought me some pepperoni rolls all the way home from Pittsburgh! Pitaland was a top recommendation by my brother in law and let me tell you, these rolls were absolutely delicious! Just 60 seconds in the microwave is all it took to liven them up a bit. The pepperoni was spicy and flavorful along with the seasoned dough. I wish we could find pepperoni rolls like this in Charlotte. Big fan. read more

Super excited to try this after so many positive reviews. The food was absolutely fantastic. Large gyro ate authentic. Chicken schwarma was cooked well with nice garlic notes. A pinch skimpy on the tzatziki but the sriracha packets were a nice touch. But the ordering process was a bit frustrating. 6pm on a Friday an hour before close. Line at what looked like a deli counter. Empty line at what looked like the meal ordering station just a few feet from each other. After about 3 mins standing in the empty line to someone behind the kitchen on the phone the entire time continuously passing me with no affirmation that I was in the right spot, I went to the other line. When my turn I was told to go to the other line. Waited about 20 mins for my counter order. read more

Visiting Pittsburgh, met up with my sister and she took me to Pitaland. It was quite good. A busy little place with a side room where they make the pitas on a conveyor belt. It wasn't operating when we there or I would've snapped a pic. I ordered a lamb burger that came with feta cheese, red onion and garlic mayo on a Lebanese bun. Sis had a tabbouleh bowl and a falafel plate with cherry tomatoes, red onion and pickled turnip with pita bread. She told me that she orders it every time. My burger was yummy. Upon departing my sister bought some tahini and pita bread from the market. I took home and apricot and a blueberry dessert. Very nice lunch. Thanks sis! read more

I absolutely love Pitaland. They are so nice to deal with and will answer any question you may have. The takeout food is OUT OF THIS WORLD. We've had Gyros, Shwarma, Hummus, Buba, Majamara, etc. Everything is incredibly flavorful. It is truly authentic food at reasonable prices. Portions are perfect. They also have a grocery store should you be adventurous and want to try to make some of the foods yourself. I may-but, I don't think I can compete with their flavor! read more

What an amazing store! Stopped in after walking along the boulevard and I was pleasantly surprised of the menu they had for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I ordered a gyro, hummus and stuffed grape leaves. The hummus order comes with a side of pita bread. They were so efficient and quick, getting the order together and so friendly. It definitely has the family owned vibe and everyone loves their job. I can't wait to go back. read more

I've wanted to eat here for quite a long time, based upon the reviews. It's located along the Main Street in Brookline, which has numerous other tasty places to eat as well. I walk in to find a nice grocery store in the front with all kinds of options. You also quickly notice the pita conveyor belt with all the puffy pita bread going round and round. I made my way to the back of the store and found two counters. One counter had seating with lots of local folks sitting and standing around talking. The other seemed to be baked good and other items. I stood there reading the food menu. I had two folks in front of me. They stood at the ordering spot waiting for close to 5 minutes for someone to actually take their order. Numerous employees stared at us but none actually walked over or told another person to come take orders. So I recognize and acknowledge the frustration some others have posted about the ordering process. I finally ordered. I selected a small gyro, a Diet Coke and a side of halloumi. I only waited about 10 minutes or slightly less to get my food. Someone called out over a half wall at food prep area and I went over to get my food. Starting with the gyro, it was decent, not tremendous but good. It could use a little more sauce. The side of halloumi was smaller than I expected but was tasty and came with some nice pita bread too. The place has a nice neighborhood vibe where it seems like all the clientele knows each other. read more

Very good establishment and definitely do go! You will have possibly the best pita possible in the area!

I am visiting Pittsburgh for the weekend, and had to try this restaurant after seeing it on the Yelp Top 100 list for 2023! I got delivery through Seamless to my hotel. The delivery came right on time. Now onto the food! I had the falafel wrap and added feta cheese. It was a lot of food and so affordable! The flavor of the falafel was incredible and the pita wrap was perfect and didn't fall apart at all. If I lived in the area, I would order this again and again! It was that good. I had to meet the delivery minimum, so I also got a dessert. I tried the sweet cheese roll, and really disliked it. Not sure if it was a personal taste thing, but it tasted very soapy to me. I had to throw it out. Next time, I would stick to the savory! I would love to try the flatbreads here before I leave town! I am so happy I got to try this spot. Thanks for the recommendation, Yelp! read more

Wonderful dinner at Pitaland! We were able to find street parking close to Pitaland. While they didn't have actual tables there was plenty of bar height counter seating available. When we ordered we were asked if we were eating here or to go. Since we ate there they brought our food out to us. All of the food came out hot and fresh. The Grilled Halloumi Cheese was a very delicious appetizer. And the falafel was excellent, fresh and not over cooked. The beef was also very good. There was also tons of pastries and other prepared food like spinach pies and baklava. The grocery area had lots of different foods that are hard to find in a normal grocery store. All of the staff were very friendly and welcoming. They gave great suggestions since it was our first time there. Overall great quality and delicious food for a reasonable price! read more

Woah - what a find in this funky little strip of Brookline. We wandered in yesterday during the lunch hour, and our mouths dropped open. This is a combo grocery/café kind of place that seems popular in this neighborhood. The shelves are gloriously well stocked with (pretty inexpensive !) spices, rice, tease, coffee, even buckets of tahini, and so much more! It was a feast for the senses! Toward the back of the store was probably the best part. We saw a woman loading shelves with fresh pita bread, including warm, zaatar, spiced, pita. 0MG! There were also barrels of beans and grains. And then a huge counter in the back with meat, and/or veggie stuffed small pastries, stuffed grape leaves, various types of feta, falafel, on and on. We ordered a smattering of everything to sample. The zaatar bread was awesome - so flavorful and generously spiced. We also ordered chicken schwarma wraps which were filled with garlic sauce, shredded lettuce, with a bit of tomato. SO YUM! The Muhammara dip was phenomenal. I just can't say enough good stuff. The sweets cabinet looked like a picture out of magazine - packed with all kinds of homemade baklava & Turkish delight. Such a great experience. Cannot wait to return!!! read more

I've heard from a Lebanese colleague for ages that I have to try Pitaland. Given its distance from the city, I waited for ages before finally coming here. Boy did I feel dumb after trying this place! Pitaland is absolutely awesome! The pita is super fresh (they have a little pita factory on site!), and everything else is absolutely delicious. I got a sample platter with baba ghanoush, hummus, and tabouli. The servings were extremely generous, and we had enough for last for another week at home with more pita! I also got the gyro which was juicy and packed full of meat. Highly recommend trying this place and taking a bag or three of the fresh pita home with you! read more

We ordered takeout from Pitaland and it was pretty good. Food like this is always better to me fresh vs delivery but even as delivery we liked it a lot. We both had Gyros and the pita bread was nice and soft and that thing was packed full! I couldn't believe how much meat was in there, lol. Their fries and baklava were also really nice. Would definitely try again, especially in person. read more

I came here as part of a food tour on my vacation. This was a first stop and a great way to start. The fresh pitas are made in house and so airy. One was brought out, so hot and fresh. As it cooled, it became the flat shape we are used to seeing. Later I received another with the best hummus I have ever had. The tour continued with a history briefing from the owner about his family and how the restaurant came to be, including a large immigrant loan the owner never expected to receive. I love that it is still family owned and operated. You can tell everyone there enjoys what they do and who they do it with. Also, most pitas all over town, including grocery stores, are made here. How cool is that?! After the tour was over I came back to shop. They carry random candies, have a large deli selection, and a cooler with a great variety of beverages. Everything is priced so well. If ever in the area, definitely stop by here, your palate will thank you. read more

They made a damn good pita! Fresh bread and tomatoes, crisp lettuce, tzaziki sauce and flavorful gyro make a great pita. Sadly I didn't get any Mediterranean / Greek dessert on my visit but plan to next time. Very nice people too. This place is so good, please check them out! read more

Love that this spot is a fast causal restaurant and a supermarket. They have really awesome Mediterranean goods in stock here from orange blossom water to semolina by the pound. They also have a good frozen selection too. Definitely check it out if you need Mediterranean groceries that you can't find at a regular grocery store! Service is fast here and I really like how simple the menu is. The food is good and never tastes heavy or unhealthy. Really liked their gyro and chicken pita sandwiches. You can get them in a large or regular sized. It is also really affordable, which is hard to find in pittsburgh these days. They have a really nice dessert case too with many kinds of baklava and rolls. In another case they have things like spinach and cheese pies and chicken pies. They also have a case with different dips and starters too like stuffed grape leaf rolls, babaganoush, and hummus. I did ask for my sauce in my chicken pita sandwich to be on the side due to a food insensitivity and they ended up putting it in the sandwich anyway and charged me for a side of sauce I didn't really want, which was fine. Just note that different sandwiches might have different sauces and look at their online menu for what is exactly in each item. read more

The food here is just so delicious. Especially the desserts. There is such a wide variety of delicious options you can choose from, so it's tough to say what was best. Honestly you should come here even if all you want is pita and desserts, since they are that good. I ordered the laham ajeen (lamb flatbread), cheese manakeesh (cheese flatbread), cherry pie, sweet cheese pie, and lamb with beef gyro (7"). As I said, all of the food was great. The gyro was relatively standard, but the meat seemed high quality. It was flavorful and tender, with a good amount of vegetables (although too much lettuce for my liking). Great pita! The flatbreads were both quite good. I prefer Samovar's flatbreads (downtown) but these were also tasty. The lamb was very well seasoned and tasty. Great flavor and texture. The cheese flatbread had a fair amount of cheese, and they packaged it very nicely. The bread itself is crunchy on the sides and thin, great for a flatbread. Great portion for price My favorite part of the meal had to be the dessert. The sweet cheese pie was decent, but the texture was a bit off, and the cheese itself was not sweet enough. The dough was great though, and so was the portion for the size. The cherry pie was absolutely incredible (best dessert I've had this year so far). Tons of real cherry inside, and a nice sweet and crunchy outside. Sooo good and a great price. All in all, I can definitely see why this place is in the Top 100 places to visit on Yelp. The place makes delicious food. I especially recommend their cherry (and likely other fruit) pies. The flatbreads were great as well. read more

The place was great and the pita were amazing, but honestly was expecting better from the shawarma and kebabs .

This has been a staple since my childhood. Their pita bread is the absolute best, love it with either hummus or baba ghanoush. You can order from their cafe too. I love the house salad - it has Greek olives, feta and chickpeas. The dressing is to die for! Also, the French fries and sauce are top notch! read more

Pitaland just did not live up to the hype, I have been making my way around the medeterain scene in the area and what pita land has going for it is the Pita but otherwise my Gyro was a bit dry and I just have had better in the area. The service was incredible but and the ambiance was cool watching the Pita be made, but at the end of the day I need to be objective and Pita land just does not live up to the other pita centric options in the area in my opinion, but do try it for yourself because it was good just not great! Might be great to your flavor profile! ! read more

After this restaurant made Yelp's top 100 in the USA, I had to come check it out. It's so much more than a little café. It's also a market where you can buy some groceries of items you might not see at your typical store, as well as a bakery. I ordered the regular sized gyro and my fiance got the large. They had our meals for us pretty quickly, while also making them fresh right in front of our eyes. The gryos were delicious! The meat was tender, garlic sauce was a blast of flavor, and it was filled with lettuce, onion, and tomato. I would have liked a lot more meat over the pile of lettuce, the large size gyro definitely had better proportions of ingredients, but I still really enjoyed it. I'm going to try the shawarma next time because it looked so good when the person next to me ordered it. The staff is friendly and seating is café style casual but a comfortable atmosphere with outside tables too. Also looking forward to coming back to try some of the desserts they had in display cases. read more

Pitaland - Regular gyro - Bakeries Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Pitaland, serves more ugly attitude than ambiance, Came here twice trying to support the business, but the mean and arrogant front lady with the cold and abrasive service , is the only consistent thing at this business unfortunately. It's sad that she clearly doesn't like customers that don't look like her! My final straw with this place was the other day when I tried to order two gyros for me and a friend. I asked for a beef gyro she said "WE DONT HAVE GYRO, We have SHAWARMA. ?!!@#*_* Even though it's clearly listed on their menu, her disdain of our presence was beyond concealable and not normal \(**)/ yet she had no problem taking my money though ? The terrible and disgusting customer service , paired well with the gross chunks of red lipstick stuck all over teeth. That should be a health hazard and violation in itself, let alone her " service ". Avoid this place ! Don't waste your money on this overrated establishment to get disrespected by that hag lady , for at best , mediocre food. read more

On a scale of romances to documentaries, Pitaland is a vacation read. If you haven't had their baba ghanoush, stop what you're doing and go right now. My partner and I stopped at Pitaland for lunch, and we were pleased by the available options. I opted for the Lamb Burger, and my partner ordered The Table (I believe). While I don't think of Pitaland as a place to grab a meal, that has changed. They have a bar-type seating area inside and small tables on the sidewalk. read more

[disclaimer: I've never eaten in, this is just a review of their bakery products] Pitaland is a classic Pittsburgh institution that remains unknown to East End Elites, thanks to its old-school location through the Tubes. I've only had stuff from here a few times...visiting a friend in high school, my dad picking stuff up en route from the South Hills, etc etc. I'm a connoisseur of spinach fatayers (triangular spinach pies), and the one here is exceptional. Perfect dough flavor around spinach that's tender without being too soggy. Pita, hummus, and baba are also as good as you'll find anywhere. read more

The store is really cute and full of great finds! The service was really amazing! The hummus is delicious! The reg gyro is a great price for the portion and delicious! The falafels we got were a lil dry but I'll let that slide. It's an awesome place to check out. The area is cute and there are several shops in the area. Overall, great experience !

It's here where I come get a nice drink, chickpeas for fresh hummus and a few side dishes that are u comparable and delicious!

Ate here for the first time, ate in. Would have like to know the different sauces for our meal items along with a drink. Looking forward to trying it again knowing the things we now know. The spinach pies were excellent, but I was hungry. The kibby footballs were done to a dark brown and not a golden brown, the meat pie was dry and d you wear more then you eat because it falls out of the pie. Great place for cooking supplies at home. read more

Pitaland is at the Monroeville farmers market every week in the spring/summer and I've been missing their pita chips and hummus. I was in the south hills for something else so I finally visited in person for the first time. There is no parking lot, but there are meter spaces right in front that are easy to get info and out of. One thing I was immediately impressed with was the cleanliness of the store. It felt brand new (even though I know it isn't). There is an olive bar, a window to watch their production, a grocery area, bakery and fresh food area. I didn't realize they had so much in their in person store! The fresh/prepared area had the traditional favorites (hummus, pita chips, kibbe etc). The gentleman behind the counter was extremely helpful with my questions about products and was very friendly. I didn't realize until this visit that in addition to their delicious lunch and dinner options, they also have a bunch of breakfast options! (Although take out only now). I'll definitely be back to pick up my staple favorites, but also to try their breakfast foods. read more

First off, I love the Pitaland store in Brookline. However they have had a stand at the Bellevue Farmer's Market on Wednesdays that I have not been satisfied with. Particularly the two individuals who were staffing the stand last week. I was going to buy some food, but the guy who was working the stand was sitting on a cooler eating, and the woman who was working the stand had her hands in her hair. I am trained in culinary/sanitation & safety, and these are entirely unacceptable at any establishment serving food. If you want to eat, don't do it in plain sight at the server's station, there was a gazebo right next to their stand where he could have eaten, then washed his hands and returned to work. And there is a ladies room in the library for her to fix her hair, wash her hands and then return to her station. I'll be there tomorrow, with my camera, and if I see them doing this again, I'll post pictures. read more
