So good! Fresh food and great service! My entire family liked the food. We will be back!

My husband and I found this place by chance and decided to go for it. Despite the average overall rating of this place, we both were pretty happy with our food! It tasted fresh and delicious. The service was friendly and quick. What more can I ask for? This is a great fast alternative to junk fast food. Give it a try! read more

Service was fast and they put plenty of chicken on my gyro! Good price and made sure I liked everything before I left. Definitely the best spot in the area for a good tasting gyro in a nice little shop. read more

This is a very nice place to grab a quick bite to eat and be on your way. The place was clean, including the restroom. And the gyro was made quickly and fresh to order, the pita and tzatziki sauce were excellent. The place can be a bit hard to notice as it's in the corner of a large strip mall center, so be sure to watch for it. The staff was friendly and talkative in a helpful way. For something different that a burger, stop in here and get a tasty hot meal. I will eat here again, and you should give them a try if in the area. read more

Today we purchased two gyros and a greek salad. Service was excellent (fast in and out). Gyros were good, seasoned well and tasty. The pita was somewhat small but adequately filled. Although the salad ingredients were fresh, nothing else about it was worth $10.95. read more

I come here about once a week! I get mediterranean chop salad it is so good! The food is always fresh! Tzatziki sauce great! Love this place read more

Man I am a guy who loves a fresh salad and I tell you they know how to make them here at Pitas. I worked on their ice machine today and while it was making ice they made me a Greek salad and it was fabulous. If your reading this and u luv salads, gotta go here! Merry Christmas read more

The food was very good. I went to sample a couple meatless pitas, for their meatless Monday promotion. I was satisfied with everything except the place wasn't kept very clean and the guy behind the counter was cordial but seemed put off by me asking questions. If you are one who expects friendliness and cleanliness to be too priority you will have a bad time. If I didn't enjoy the food so much I would completely bash them for how dirty and unfriendly it was there. The food alone is worth a 4 star rating. read more

Love this place! Always friendly, always piled high, always fresh, always delicious!! I usually enjoy their Mediterranean Chopped Salad or chicken pita or spinach pie... every other week. read more

I ordered a Gyro and a thought that it was delicious. The man who made it was very welcoming and nice. The place looked clean. I would come back here and would recommend it to my friends. I was happy with my meal read more

The Tex Amex wrap is still the best- haven't been here in 15 years and it was like nothing has changed. Great food, friendly service!

Love the Meatless Monday deal- $4.99 for any veggie pita. Ordered the falafel and hummus veggie and it was loaded with fresh veggies- so good! Wish more restaurants would get on board with veggie deals like this. read more

Limited menu and not an authentic taste. It's also the overpriced. People seemed nice but the facilities were too dirty to appreciate their hospitality read more

New person who works there is lazy and not good. I constantly refer people to this place and get nothing in return when it comes to customer satisfaction. Please hire someone new or this business will go under fast. read more

Rarely do one star ratings, but Pita's left me no choice. When basic fundamentals are not met, you gotta bring out the dreadful one star. Let me start with the pros: .........hang on I'll think of something.... well they are in a pretty good location and have a cool sign outside. now the cons: Place lacks three Cs... charm, cleanliness, and customer service. Used to be a fan of Pita's, and will probably go to other locations in the future but this particular one needs to start over or it'll be out of business soon. There's only one person running the entire place, cashier and preparing orders. That's not so bad when the person in charge has it down to a science and is on their A game. The server at this particular location didn't crack a smile and appeared very disinterested. I saw a lady placing an order attempting to strike a conversation and share a laugh just to get snubbed. The establishment was very uninviting, at first I considered to dine in, but after walking inside, it just felt cramped and a little dirty. Needless to say, I got my order to go. The food lacked spirit, it wasn't prepared the way I'm used to having it at other Pita's Republic establishments, took a few bites and threw the rest away. I don't know what the hell happened. Tend to rate places based on certain factors, food, service, atmosphere, and overall experience. Sad to say this particular Pita's failed. So, yeah... Methinks not sounds about right. read more

Look, I get the reviews below. The employee there doesn't look the happiest and he's pretty dry. But the food is great. It's reasonably-priced, and you get a lot of good-quality food for the price. I frequently get it to go, and I have no issues and never have any complaints about the food. It's not really the type of place I'd sit down at, but it really doesn't seem to be going for that. All the Mediterranean staples done well and for a good price. Not much more you could ask for when a lot of places are charging $15 for platters consisting mostly of rice. read more

So, we liked the Pitas Repiblic that closed down on Tampa Road in Oldsmar, so since I needed a late lunch we decided to pop in. The vibe in here is not like the one we were used to. It doesn't look as clean for one. Also, I asked the lone employee if I could have the ingredients for the "mid east piece" on a pita with gyro, she told me that all the ingredients are posted on the menu...I kinda don't even know what she meant by that so I just told her that I wanted the "Feta Supreme" with Gyro. My husband ordered a low carb pocket with falafel. Note the whole time we were ordering she kept turning around to watch some mystery show on t.v. So we sat and waited. She called out the names of the meals and people walked up to get them from her. She then looked up and told my husband that they didn't have any pockets left, but the Pitas are whole wheat. So he said okay. She calls out falafel and supreme. We open our Pitas before leaving and my pita had chicken in it. So I said, this has chicken in it. She looked up and said, that's what you ordered. I said, "no I didn't. The menus clearly says feta supreme and you can pick your meat and I told you gyro." She then tells me that I wasn't specific enough, but she make me another one. Really! Of course she will, but no apology, just adamant that I wasn't specific. If she was paying attention instead of watching t.v. Maybe she would have noticed how specific I was. So we leave to get an oil change and car wash and ate our Pitas there. They weren't horrible, but they weren't good either. They also weren't very hot. So if the food was at least something to yelp about, I'd give it more stars, but since it wasn't I'd say don't wast your time at this Pitas republic. Zero stars for service. One star for at least having food to serve...but only one way with no deviations. read more

Better to die of hunger than risk your life eating food at this place. The quality of the meat, vegetables and other products being used now is atrocious.. This once passable pita joint has taken a turn for the terrible. The ingredients are so far INFERIOR to what passes as acceptable anywhere else it's shocking. Mystery meat looks like a compressed combination of many different scraps of discarded mystery something...Soylent Green? Soylent Brown? Not kidding. Is this a COVID issue? Who knows. The salads had grit on the greens and one had some kind of dark hair mixed in with the feta. Hardly appetising. One of us loves falafel, but here it was over cooked and so hard on the outside it wasn't a pleasure to try to crack. One of us skipped the meat and tried the advertised smoothies, finding them extremely sugary despite being advertised as "no sugar added." Possibly the premixed powdered package already had the overwhelming sugar component mixed in. Not a healthy alternative. The fruit that was offered as a mix in did not look fresh or inviting. The service is slow and surly, bordering on rude and indifferent. Couldn't care less if you come in or not. So do yourself a huge favor and skip this place in favor of the Vietnamese place next door (delicious boba smoothies!) or anything else on the strip. Your stomach will thank you. read more

I enjoy Greek food every once in a while, but I just don't find myself eating too often because there is no value to it and it just feels overpriced to me. Any sort of gyro and a side will run $10 at most places and there are plenty of other similar restaurants that I can get a sandwich, side and a drink for around $7, especially when I just need a quick lunch. I walked in here during a weekday and there was one gentleman running the shop. He was working the counter as well as making food and did a very nice job doing both. He was friendly and really cared for what he was doing, unlike most people working in the restaurant industry. My food was ready in no time and it was to my liking. The portion was bigger than I anticipated and all of my ingredients tasted fine. My side of potato salad was also a nice size and was very cold, which I prefer. I always feel safer ordering potato or pasta salad when it is kept inside of a refrigerator compared to being in a container on ice for people to see. I liked my food, but I wasn't crazy on the value. read more

Food was not fresh. The young lady was great, the dude is kinda rude and cheap. The tzatziki sauce was bland. Over all I doubt I'll go back. To many Greek restaurants that serve much better food with quality service. read more

One of the healthiest options to eat in the town n country area. Fast, fresh, and friendly service.

This isn't the same restaurant it was a year ago. It as a totally different owner who actually cares, a re-decorated interior and an upgraded menu. The food tastes the same but virtually everything else has changed. I had written this place off in 2015 due to the poor service but last week my assistant (who doesn't read Yelp) came into office holding a pita with nice chunks of gyro meat hanging off the side. I asked her where she got it from and upon hearing it I cringed. "Not that place," I said but she assured me things were different. "What the heck," I told myself, and though every ounce in my body told me don't do it, the pull of a gyro was too much. Good thing I did. Nothing was like a remembered it. The owner noticed me from my Yelp review and explained to me what happened. He just bought the franchise a couple months back and he's trying to turn everything around. Service was great and food is good. As I said before, the pitas here are not the best I've ever tasted but also not the worst. It's what I would expect and when you want one, it does the job. read more

Gasssss. I also get the falafel with hummus. So good. The guy who works all the time makes it perfect. They also got 4.99 meatless Monday's meaning if you are vegan or vegetarian you can eat a pita pocket for 4.99 read more

THIS RESTAURANT IS UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT AND IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT NOW. It is very unfair that yelp is putting all the good new reviews in the "not recommended" section that people don't see. I took a friend there and she loved it and wrote a good review. It was put under the "not recommended" section for some reason. Really unfair to a business that is now great and trying to overcome bad reviews left over from BEFORE they owned it. (Edited) This place is amazing! The gyro is soooo good. Lots of meat and the tzatziki sauce is great. The chicken pita is good too. Everything tastes really fresh. The meat is soooo good too. I liked it so much I went back two days later! Will definitely be back. The service is friendly and fast. Good prices too. Would recommend. read more

The person who took my money, made my food and served me did not have a mascon. I was pretty decent Harton knowing that we are in the middle of pandemic and on an uptick with a third variant. Not good business in my opinion. I would have given the restaurant four stars but I like clean, safe and healthy. read more

+1 This place is very vegetarian friendly; lots to choose from; all oustanding...humus, falafels, eggplant, and more. And it's all a great a value. read more

Great quality fresh food for reasonable prices. Get the chicken pita and make it a platter with the salad and potato salad. Eat the pita first and let the chicken fall so at the end you have a chicken Greek salad. Great food!!!! read more

Took care of my order with out any fuss, even though I came in minutes from close. Very satisfied with everything!

I know everyone says this but I have never written review before but his place is too good to not stay around. The staff are all excellent and polite and the food is just plain excellent. I tried the chicken and lamb pita with their homemade baklava for the first time and I think I might go back again tomorrow! read more

Pita's republic is a pretty solid chain in the Tampa Bay Area. I love the fact they've got so many ways to customize your pita. They've got a wide selection of meat, vegetarian and vegan options. I've been on a vegetarian kick lately and so I ordered a hummus pita with all of the veggies and avocado. The man behind the counter was quite accommodating and provided some options so that I could get a better value for my buck. I didn't want a drink but the combo with a drink was the best option so I got it. The hummus was pretty basic so it didn't over power my topping or the pita the avocado looked like a prepackaged but it was still good. Will I go back I always do. This location is consistent with the brand, the restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. If you're in the area and want to get your pita fix definitely stop in. read more

They have a fairly extensive menu of pita wraps & salads, from gyros to falafel to veggies to chicken. I love their gyros wrap with feta cheese & a healthy dose of hot sauce (available on the other side of the counter). Basically Middle Eastern fast food -- tasty & pretty healthy (certainly compared to, say, McD's; maybe a bit less so than Subway depending on what you get). $5-8 per menu item or so. read more

This spot is THE BEST. Always quick, inexpensive, and delicious. Love the gyro n feta salad and the grape leaves.

Great place for quick greek food with a bit of an American twist. They serve halal chicken, which tastes amazing. I have only had fresh ingredients and fantastic service. I have never had anything I didn't like. Great for a quick lunch with full flavor. read more

Friendly & fast. I always order a gyro and it taste great to me. Great customer service & clean.

My husband and I were just at Pita Republic in Tampa, Fl-the Hillsborough Ave location. We often get food from there, but this was by far and away our worst experience. The restaurant was filthy-there are 6 tables in the dining area, and each one had copious crumbs/sauce caked on the tables, and the pitas were horrible. My husband got a tuna pita, and it was literally dripping with liquid. We opted for to go order, and before he was even able to take the pita out of the foil, it had saturated the paper bag it was in. He attempted to eat it, but it was completely inedible. We will never be returning. read more

Gave up this place long ago after many poor experiences. Came in last week and the place is under new managment. The food and service has improved alot! Happy to have pitas back as an lunch option. read more

I Was looking for a good greek salad and this hit the spot. It was delicious and definitely satisfied my craving. I will be back for another one soon! Happy this is so close to my work too! read more

Got a chicken pita for lunch. Choice of sauces for the pita according to the menu posted on their wall were: Tzatziki, Honey Dijon, BBQ, chipotle, island curry, tahini, garlic, or Thai Peanut. I ordered Thai Peanut sauce. I took my first bite into the pita and knew it wasn't Thai peanut sauce at all but rather a teriyaki type sauce. No worries, I brought the remaining pita to the counter and said there must have been a mix up and politely requested a pita with Thai peanut sauce instead. Both employees informed me that the only Thai peanut sauce that is available here is in fact the teriyaki sauce that they originally served me. They were adamant that the teriyaki sauce is also the Thai peanut sauce. I told them that in fact Thai peanut sauce is very different from teriyaki sauce and then the two irritated employees proceeded to offer me a sample cup of the teriyaki sauce masquerading as the Thai peanut sauce (it's close to Halloween:) to prove that it really was the correct sauce. I politely refused the sample(my pita was sufficiently coated in said teriyaki) and asked them why they don't cross out the Thai peanut sauce option on the menu. They said it was impossible. I'll try to add a pic of the menu to show that there is no mention of teriyaki whatsoever. Bottom line is that the pita was made of good quality ingredients and tasted fresh and delicious but it's not what I ordered and they made no attempt to fix the incorrect signage. read more
