Located inside the food court at the Fashion Valley Mall, I am a sucker for any cuisine on the…read moreMediterranean continuum. It was a toss up with rock, paper, scissors between The Pita and Rubios.
Although The Pita won the toss, it definitely lost on value of money and taste of food. First, on the positive side, the customer service is excellent and efficient. Basically, you choose four ways to make your meal, add a sauce and boom you're done. You know how Subway has a variety of sauces and fresh veggies to put on your sandwich? The Pita has a similar model with less choices. You could choose a pita, bowl, tray, and, and...fuhgot.
On the disappointing consumer side,
everything is an extra cost. The business nickels and dimes for anything extra. Rather dollars for everything extra. The meal deal only includes a $4.00 drink and no fries. The small choice of the four is 8.50 and the large is 12.00.
STFD. I am beside myself.
I am an expert of dining out at eateries even while considering increased costs within a mall location.
I purchased a chicken schwarma wrap and a gyro wrap, both were 19 bucks and some change! We were parched because I refused to purchase a soda for 4 dollars and there is no self serve refill. And to top it off, I love fries. I was denied my fries craving because that would have been an additional 5 bucks. Trust me, I'm no cheapie and I'm financially fortunate but I know value and this ain't it.
A similar eatery is Luna Grill, sort of.
I would not recommend this eatery because the value and overpricing customers is disappointing.
Both wraps were lukewarm, although plenty of toppings. The meat was seasoned---enough. Yet, there is no salt or pepper available. Period. Smh.
If you are eating at the mall, choose another eatery. If your hunger can wait, eat elsewhere.
Unfortunately, The Pita did not deliver.
