Taste buds are going crazy! This place is so fire and they load you UP. The staff is so friendly and NEVER forgets a sauce. You know when you will ask for sauces and low and behold they forget, and it ruins your meal? Could never be Spitz. Their sweet potato waffle fries with garlic aioli could cure cancer. And their drinks be POURING. Nonetheless, the place is amazing. P.S. They also have amazing baklava ;-) My Yiayia would be proud. read more

Second time here, and the vibes are always so welcoming! We had the pleasure of being greeted and served by Aden, and man, talk about GREAT customer service! That's something you don't come across as often anymore, and it definitely deserves recognition. The beer selection is great, the cooks in the back are quick and efficient, and the food always comes out fresh and HOT! I'm super excited to have this business here in Pacific Beach and truly wish them nothing but success. The atmosphere, food, and customer service are all 5 stars in my book! Keep it classy, San Diego! We've got a good one here! read more

This place did not disappoint! So many different mediterranean inspired wrap, gyro, and bowls. They have a whole portion of their menu dedicated to their vegan options. They have a great amount of seating with a vibrant atmosphere. I'll definitely be coming back to try the lunch special, but even on a weekend prices were reasonable for how much food you get. You order at the counter and sit down which makes service easy. More of a plus they have beers on tap, as well as rotating flavor slushies! read more

My husband and I stumbled across Spitz after parking in PB to see where the wind took us. And after arriving at this place I honestly had pretty low expectations at first since it was pretty empty, but I was pleasantly surprised. We ordered from the happy hour menu and shared a few things. I got the Quinoa Salad, while my husband ordered the Chicken & Lamb Gyro along with the Doquito. Everything was delicious. The Quinoa Salad was exactly what I wanted for a Sunday brunch: light, fresh, and not heavy on the stomach. I also appreciated getting a good serving of veggies in for the day. Then I tried some of my husband's gyro, and it was SO good. He ended up sharing some of the chicken and lamb with me, and adding it to my salad absolutely elevated the whole thing. Our server was friendly and accommodating, and the mural and overall decor gave off great vibes. We sat outside, and it was funny to watch the place gradually fill up. By the middle of our meal, the inside seating area was buzzing and the open layout felt lively and energetic. Overall, this was a great accidental find and a solid stop for a Sunday meal. We'll definitely keep Spitz in mind the next time we're in the area. read more

Guys! This place is so yummy! I was coming back from the Padres game and didn't really want to go sit at a restaurant so I stopped here to grab some food to go to take back to my hotel. I wanted something, healhy-ish, did I get that? I don't know, it's mediterranean food and that alone makes it tenfold healthier than other places. They list the calories on their menu, which you'll either love or hate but I appreciated it. So I took a seat at their bar to place a to go order and the girl behind the bar was just awesome, the one from Nashville who recently moved to San Diego, hey girl! She totally hooked me up with explaining their entire menu to me and gave me recommendations. I got the Medi bowl with chicken, quinoa, pickled red onions, feta, tzatziki, tomatoes, cucumbers, garbanzo beans, which appeared to be fried when I got them, maybe or roasted, not sure. It came with some pita on the side, it was perfect, delicious, fresh, flavorful, hit the spot. It was ready very quickly, super satisfied, big portion. The restaurant itself was cool, causal you know? Very funky, vintage, hip decor. Big fan. Check this place out. read more

I was craving Greek food after my Seaworld trip and found this place on Yelp. There's paid street parking in front. We did a pick up order and it was ready when we arrived. They were jamming some cool hop vibes and this place seems super chill to hang out. I got the Doner basket mixed meat, extra protein for $2, and mixed fries, my bf got the 12 piece wings. The server was super friendly. The food was fantastic and worthy of the phenomenal rating. I loved all the sauces. My plate was loaded with food. It did come with a falafel which was perfectly crisp just not my thing. I really liked the gyro meat, next time I'll skip the chicken shwarma. I loved I got the fries with all the fixings plus some lettuce. The wings were seasoned so well and the best I've ever had. This is my new favorite place. read more

Final decided to try Spitz in pb and I was honestly surprised. My friends and I ordered a wrap and a salad, and both were pretty good. The portions were much bigger than we expected so we didn't finish and had leftovers. They have an indoor and outdoor area and you go up to order food and they'll bring it out to u with a number. The staff was nice and the food was good and felt pretty healthy for Mediterranean street food. I will be back! read more

We were so happy that we came to Spitz on a weekday between 3PM-6PM because they have an incredible happy hour! My husband and I got $9 gyros and $3.50 pita strips and humus! I saw a sign about Tuesday specials and those are really great too. Service was super fast! The seating was nice where you can sit at high top chairs, a booth, or a standard table with wooden chairs while getting fresh air for the open garage door. There is cool eclectic decor with neon lights and vibrant art on the walls. We really loved the gyros! The pita bread is so good. The hummus with the pita strips was good too. Great prices especially during happy hour! It was super fast from when we got our food and staff were really amazing. Highly recommend! read more

Tried the Berliner wrap and the street cart wrap with regular fries. The fries were a bit salty, but everything else tasted great. The staff was super friendly and helpful while ordering and even checked on us after we got our food, which you don't usually get at a fast-food-style spot. My favorite was the Berliner wrap--very generous portions and great for sharing. Tip: sign up online with your phone number to get a buy-one-get-one offer. Great location! read more

I'm only giving Spitz 4 Stars because this review is based solely on the food. We ordered on the Spitz website and our food was delivered via Uber. Had the OG Gyro and Thin cut French Fries. The Gyro was substantially filled with fresh vegetables, tasty and tender chicken. Large order of perfectly seasoned fries were filled to the top of the bag. Fries came with two containers of delicious garlic aioli perfect for dipping your fries in. A great take out experience from Spitz! read more

I was in the area and needed some lunch, and saw this pop up on Google Maps. It was a Tuesday and around 3:30p, right before Christmas Eve. The place was empty; the cashier was super friendly! There's a Happy Hour special on weekdays starting at 3 through 6. So my partner and I got the OG Gyro, Spitz Gyro and the fried pita strips, for a total of ~$30, including tip. They've self-serve water, I appreciate not having to wait for water service, in case they're busy. The music is lovely, there's no vocals so it feels more vibey and lo-fi. No need to talk over the music. Okay but the food: do not skip the fried pita strips. They're so good, the texture reminds me of beignets, fluffy and a tad crispy! The seasoning is delicious, I wish there were more after I finished them. The OG Gyro is exactly what you'd expect: fresh lettuce, tomato, feta, very fresh and healthy with beef and lamb. The Spitz Gyro is more savory and saucy, I thought of it as tomato-y with fries and beef and lamb. read more

Absolutely delicious bowl with quinoa and chicken. Loved the protein choices and more. The seasoning in the grilled chicken was outstanding. All the Mediterranean flavors you expect and more! Can't wait to go back! read more

Casual spot in PB for healthy modern "Mediterranean" food. Berliner bowl: It has a lot of veggies and pickles, the flavor profile was quite sour even though I added hummus to it, comes with extra sauce which I didn't feel it needed. Mediterranean wrap w/ beef & lamb: My husband got this and he liked it, also thought it was quite healthy Sweet potato waffle fries: These were soooo good! I think these were a little less greasy than waffle fries from elsewhere, comes with a great sauce as well. Overall I wouldn't come here if I were craving actual Mediterranean food, but I would stop by for a healthy bowl or some sweet potato waffle fries. read more

Overall, solid place! I enjoyed their food with my favorite being the gyro pita sandwich. Street cart doner wrap was fine but maybe too much veggie for me. Wings were standard, nothing special. I love that they offer a variety of sauces at no extra charge - my favorite was the garlic aioli. Vibe was great on a Friday night. Lots of people just hanging out with friends here. Parking is a little difficult since it's PB, but just pray that you get lucky finding a free spot on the nearby residential street. They offer an email sign up promo (either 50% first order or BOGO free so try to search for that promo link to create an account with them). read more

This place is sooooo good. Lots of amazing deals going on throughout the week and the food is absolutely delicious.

I'll definitely be back. read more

Spitz is the replacement eatery for an uber popular brunch spot in the heart of the PB neighborhood. This LA-founded chain serves Mediterranean street food as opposed to a breakfast-focused menu like its predecessor. The decor was changed with a bright splash of pink color to the awning and interior. The seating arrangement remained intact with a long high-top table in the middle of the dining area and then several smaller tables along the sides of the room. The covered front sidewalk patio was also retained. Döner wraps, gyros, bowls and salads were the main food categories. Adding a side and drink to make it a combo cost an extra $7. I picked a Remix Bowl with chicken as the protein and rice as the base from the list of four bowls/salads for my to-go order. The other ingredients were dill-tahini quinoa, tomato, cucumber, roasted corn, feta, harissa, kalamata olives, crispy and marinated garbanzo, cabbage slaw, and lemon herbed tahini dressing. The portion size and quality of the ingredients were good. A cup of hot sauce was also provided which I didn't use as the dressing added sufficient flavor. Garnet Ave is now saturated with so many Mediterranean/Middle Eastern spots that it has become difficult to stand out from the crowd. If you prefer gluten-free/vegan/vegetarian fare, then Spitz does have a section of the menu dedicated towards those types of items. For the price and quality of my bowl, I gave a rating between three and four stars. read more

My Son and I visited Spitz 3 weeks ago . Got seated near their open big window, plenty of tables to sit on. My Son and I had our Combo meal ( side + drink ) he got the SIDE STREET CART WRAP with a side of SWEET POTATO FRIES and LEMONADE and I had the FULL-SIZE ZA'ATAR CRISPY WINGS Both were delicious. Wings are not that big but they were good. Their Homemade sauces are also good. Service was good, our waitress was always at our table making sure we had everything we needed. read more

Amazing vegan options! I was very excited to try Spitz after learning that they had multiple vegan options - and even a vegan section of the menu. I placed an order for take-out, so I did not stay very long, but was still able to experience the fun atmosphere in my short time there. I loved how saucy and satisfying the Vegan Gyro was! The Vegan Doner Salad was so flavorful and the fried pita strips were out of this world! The only "con" would be that I asked for regular fries and got waffle sweet potato fries instead, which turned out to be a pro because they were some of the best fries I have ever had! In fact, I ordered them again the next day! read more

In a sea of bars and restaurants on Garnet St in San Diego, Spitz stands out. It's a fun location, with decor quintessentially San Diego. You just walk up, order, and either sit at the bar or a table and wait for your food. It's a nice, indoor outdoor vibe. The front bar area is very aesthetically pleasing, like hanging out in someone's chill living room. They also play really good throwback and chill music in the background. The food is halal, with plenty of vegetarian, vegetarian, and gluten free options. I especially loved the sweet potato fries and their many sauce selections. They also have a daily happy hour, and their sangria is house made. The draft beer list is better here than a lot of places. And best of all, everyone who works here has always had a smile. I really enjoy coming here, and they're very dog friendly. read more

This restaurant takes its name from the word "spitz" (German = spitze), which is the German term for the vertical roasting method used for Mediterranean döner kebabs. I was impressed with the aroma and flavor of the dishes, which are considered a healthy version of European street food. The Döner Salad was absolutely amazing! It was fresh, tasty, and came with seasoned fried pita strips. The balsamic dressing and freshness of the ingredients made for a great salad. The French Fries were unique in that they were seasoned with garlic, parmesan, & herbs and came with a delicious garlic aioli. They were soft with just the right amount of crisp. The Gyro was a little off, however. As a Greek food enthusiast, this German version of a Gyro was not exactly my style. Rather than strips of lamb meat, the Gyro contained ground lamb meat, similar to ground beef that you would cook in a skillet. Therefore, the Gyro had far more toppings than it did meat... Also, the regular Tzatziki sauce was lacking flavor compared to the Ranch Tzatziki. Maybe they could mix the two 50:50 v/v to come up with a savory unique sauce for their Gyros. For dessert, the baklava was fabulous! It was absolutely delicious and a nice ending to an overall great meal... Thank you, Spitz! read more

This place is RAD. Very friendly staff, great beer, and good food. I'm surprised theyre not busier!! Super vibey art and murals and a very open space. I just wish they'd ditch the seed oils. Happy hour is great, as well as the lunch specials. Highly recommended. read more

Had to come back and update my review because a good happy hour just got even better. After a long day in the sand, there's nothing better than craving some solid food and a cold drink and this spot has already been a go to for just that. The happy hour was already great, but now they've added $20 pitchers, which honestly takes it to the next level. Good food, great drinks, and the kind of laid back vibe you want after a beach day. When you find a place that keeps making an already solid happy hour even better, you've got to give them credit! read more

We just used Spitz for catering for a day after wedding event and the food was great and at a reasonable price. They are very accommodative of allergies and the wraps were all a hit. Also got the pita strips and hummus and that was also great. They provide tongs and some utensils which is super helpful. Would definitely recommend for catering. read more

Aiden was so kind and friendly. He's so wonderful great food and Customer Service. We would definitely come here again!

I came here on Saturday around 2 PM. My friend lucked out with parking right in front of the restaurant, and I was able to find street parking just a couple blocks away, which wasn't bad at all. The spot is open and welcoming, with outdoor seating, indoor tables, and bar seating. I grabbed a seat at the bar so I could watch the football game. My server was beyond friendly and gave great recommendations. He was super attentive making sure I had napkins, silverware, water refills, and checking in to see how everything tasted. Very personable and easygoing. I ordered the OG Gyro with chicken, and it came out in under five minutes. It was absolutely delicious. A little messy, but very fresh and hit the spot. You can also add a side and a drink for only seven dollars more, which is a great deal. Overall, the pricing is solid, the portions are generous, and the food quality is excellent. The staff is friendly, the vibe is fun, and it's a great place to hang out. I'd definitely come back. Bonus points for daily specials and weekday happy hour too. read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and had a Medi Bowl with Falafel and Spitz Gyro with chicken! My boyfriend and I both enjoyed our meals and I was happy with the large portion for the Medi Bowl (I have leftovers now!). Sunday was all day happy hour and the gyro was only 9$. Ambience was very casual- great for a quick bite to eat rather than a romantic dinner. Located right in the middle of PB, close to everything. Good food for a good price in a great location!
