Today is the first time I have ever tried Pita Pit. I never really thought much about this place until people started telling me how good it was. Well, the location I thought was always awkward because you need to loop around the Starbucks drive thru to get to it and parking was a bit limited. When I walked in I saw something I did not expect, a HUGE line, I was almost lining up at the door. It was the lunch rush during the work week and I could tell there were many people from offices ordering food for multiple people. I waited 15 minutes in line! I thought while waiting, "wow, this place must really be good". I ordered the Gyro since it seemed popular. You pay first, then they ask if you want white or wheat Pita. I choose wheat, then you move onto the veggies. The veggie lineup is pretty much like Subway, but the veggies appear to be a bit more fresh. I loaded a bunch of veggies and then added the tzatziki spread, which is the Gyro sauce. I forgot to add, as you are doing this, there is a grill master grilling up your choice of meat on the spot for you. I took a seat and began to eat. The flavors were amazing, everything blended well. I can say it was not like a Gyro you would get at a Greek restaurant or state fair, but it was still tasty. The pita was soft and thin so you are not filling yourself with carbs, you are actually able to taste the meat and vegetables. Final verdict, I cannot wait to come back and try their other items!

Me, my mom, and my stepdad were trying to figure out what to try in Ankeny, my hometown a while back. As we drove along Delaware avenue, my mom spotted a small business among all the well known chains called Pita Pit. So naturally, we stopped to see what it was like. Little did we know, after this visit, Pita Pit would become a regular place for us to eat. And who could blame us? Pita pit was like a Subway, but instead of sandwiches, delicious AND healthy wraps. Even though it's a small version of a chain, Pita Pit uses fresh, wholesome ingredients. If your in the mood for a wrap, but don't want to go through the hassle of making it, Pita Pit is for you.

I pretty much agree with the previous reviews. Basically like Subway but with fresher and more ingredient options (they even have chopped fresh mushrooms and crumbled feta cheese). And of course the thin pita means less bread and it allows you to enjoy the insides much more than a sub. Not quite as filling as a sub, but I get a lot of extras with mine so it's usually bursting.

So much better alternative to Subway... you don't leave smelling like yeast or sick to your stomach. This location is well managed, has fresh ingredients and fast service. I almost always get the soulvaki on wheat. It's really great, as are the daily specials. This place is cheap, fast and healthy. Great alternative if jimmy johns is swamped.

First time at Pita Pit. Beware the parking lot traffic as cars are looping through there from the Starbucks drive-through. Liked that you can choose the type of lettuce you want and I went for romaine as it is nutritionally packed. Decided on today's special which was the BLT. As they prepared it, they ask you what other items you want on it. They seem disappointed if you don't ask for a lot of extras. So I added some peppers and feta cheese, which was unfortunate because I learned I don't care for a BLT with feta. The sandwich special comes with a pop for $6.49, otherwise with no soda it is $6.29. They do a good job of keeping the line moving. That particular strip mall location is awkward.
