Awesome food, very fast service, and the place is relatively clean. The service staff are a little surly at times, but the food makes up for it. It's a great place in Iowa City to stop for a quick filling lunch.

You will be offered mustard and ranch dressing with your falafel sandwich. 'Nuff said.

First time in Iowa City, and I happened upon this little gem. As a vegetarian, it's not easy finding good places to eat in new cities, but I definitely got lucky this time. Soft pitas filled with yoir choice of meat/black bean patty, veggies, and sauce. So good, and so many choices. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Tip: get the sauteed mushrooms and onions, they don't charge extra! I'll definitely be back!

Delivery took 2x as long as indicated. Pita makers did not pay attention to special instructions. Food was cold by the time it arrived.

I guess I'm spoiled, being from Chicago where there are so many good Meditteranean eating options. I expected something more than a glorified Subway. I was in the mood for a salad, and saw that there was a salad option, so asked the girl taking orders to clarify whether I'd get more vegetables if I chose to forego the pita. She was completely confused by my question and had to ask the man I presume is the boss. I then told him the meat I wanted, which sounded good but turned out to be ordinary chicken pieces, heated on a grill with something squirted on them. He then asked me to choose vegetables from an array of bins that must have come straight out of a defunct Subway. No taboulah, no Mediterranean salad, no baba ganoush. I had asked the girl to add hummus, and when I requested this from the boss he asked in a loud and accusatory voice, "well, did you PAY for it??!" I said yes, but he checked with the snotty order taker. The salad was just what I would have had at Subway for 2/3 the price.

I'll make this quick. The Pitas are more like a big-arse burrito, but with lots of fresh ingredients you can cram in it. Average price range as you would pay for a sub or a burrito. Outside seating when nice out is amongst a busy sidewalk, so plenty of people watching.

If you like Subway in a pita wrap, this is your place... Although Subway is a little cheaper. I ordered a Caesar Pita with chips and a soda, and I was still hungry when I left. Cost $10

I wanted it to be better than it was. The service was fair and it was empty. It was a little pricey and tasted okay. Not bad, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go back.

We went here during Sunday brunch time when we found out Oasis is closed on Sundays. I was glad we were one of the first customers because this poor guy was working all by himself! While we got our food and enjoyed every bite of the baby-sized pitas, the line got pretty backed up. It didn't taste/feel as authentic as other greek places, but I thoroughly enjoyed the quality of their ingredients and would def eat here again. P.S. Has anyone read on Failbook, "if Tom Hanks was made of wood, he'd be Tom Planks." ( failbook.failblog.org/20… ) I just can't help myself! If Brad Pitt was greek, he'd be Pita Pitt.

I know they have this everywhere and in fact one is based in SB. But for some reason this tasted extra delicious to me that night, maybe I was just really hungry. They do charge extra for adding Hummus but I think it's worth it because everything taste better with Hummus. : )

If you want a decent healthy meal this is the place to go. They are very friendly and the service is fast. I also recommend their breakfast pitas.

I'm shocked by the high reviews of this place. I had a chicken ceasar pita and it basically tasted like a subway sandwich rolled into a pita. I was starving and ate the first fourth in about 8 seconds. Then my taste buds returned and I threw out the rest. Plus, it's expensive for what it is! I'd head to oasis or even subway - at least at subway, your sandwich will cost less.

I was disappinted that they don't grill gyro's the real way - on a spit, just as God intented. They use pre-sliced/pre-formed pieces of gryo meat and fry it on a flat grill. How can they call it a gyro when it doesn't even gyrate? Anyway they do offer a great assortment of toppings and sauces which would be good on any of their other pita sandwiches. I'm getting falafel next time. The pita bread is the coolest part - pretty tasty too. It has a pocket to stuff the meat and toppings into and a lap that closes up your meal in a neat little "peta portfolio." You could eat one on a trampoline without getting anything on you!

I like the many customized veggie salad options available at Pita Pit. My favorite is falafel with black bean, spinach, and veggies. The service is fast and friendly. Great value also.

The food here is pretty good, but unfortunately I had an experience here in which afterwards I swore never to step foot in this place again. I was with my friend late at night here when I overheard an employee handing finished pita sandwiches to customers and then saying, "See you next tuesday". For those who don't know, this essentially means calling someone a "c**t". C-U-Next-Tuesday. Sorry, but I will never again give my money to a restaurant who refers to their customers that way, that's absurd.

Absolutely love pita pit, the turkey crave or the eggs, ham and hashbrowns pita are my favorites. It's a quick and fresh option for lunch. On the other hand the price is a little high and the delivery is horrendously slow. Overall a good place.

We loved the food here but now that we are gluten free for medical reasons we can't eat here anymore. If they had gluten free bread we would eat here again.
