A few friends and I traveled to Madison from Chicago to visit a college buddy who was having a housewarming. We went downtown on a Saturday and I was starving. I noticed the Pita Pit and immediately thought, can't go wrong there. Surprise, I couldn't have been more right! Forman handled our order and the entire experience was amazing. Great conversation as he masterfully created our pitas. The food was delicious! The service was even better! Thank you Pita Pit and shout out to Forman for taking care of us!

I love Mediterranean food and would never have thought I would ever prefer a chain to many locally owned spots, but Pita Pit ROCKS!! I always get the gyro and it's always wonderful. I love how much you can add (hummus, avocado, etc) without paying an additional fee. This sandwich is so freaking perfect I could eat it for 3 meals a day. The meat is cooked right. The veggies are plentiful. Most importantly, the name doesn't lie, the PITA is fluffy and yummy and perfect even while toasted. Ordering delivery? PP is one of the fastest places in town. Hungry after a night out on state street? It's open late. The staff is so friendly and make it look like they actually enjoy working there. I even got a $5 pita from using the Hooked app!

Love Pita Pits! Used to have one back home but they sadly closed down and hadn't eaten here in years ! Coming back the menu was basically the same, no complaints from me! I always either get the gyros or chicken Caesar , both are amazing. Love it.

Been wanting to try this place for awhile. Basically it's like a subway but for pittas. The staff was very friendly and my hummus in wheat with toppings was really good. My boyfriend and daughter seemed to really like theirs as well. Only complaint is the price. I think it's a little over priced but I'd probably still come here again.

We have ordered from here a few times. I love that you can order exactly what you want online so there's no confusion about what exactly you want. Due to it being close to closing once we couldn't order online but they took our phone order and everything was ready promptly. It's not always easy to find something that everybody in the family wants to eat so I save this gem for when I travel with the family in the Madison area. My little one loves pitas and my husband and I like the various combinations on the menu.

The idea of Pita Pit is great. Healthy, tasty options very conveniently located on the corner of state street. The food is great but the service is next to awful. The workers seem confused and very spacey, and it's not just one or two specific workers, it's all of them. I don't know why it would take close to 15 minutes to get two people through the line with only two other people in front of them. Good food but poor service!

Used to live in Madison and really liked this Pita Pit. They recently changed owners and it got even better. Not much else to say, except that I recommend it! They deliver too.

This place is very good, I wish I were on State Street more often to be able to pick up lunch here. They're a great alternative to more greasy options or the Subway-type of sandwich shops (bleh). The staff was always friendly and helpful, and I found it to be a good deal for a great sandwich. Highly recommended! Open a store on the East side please!

I cock-blocked with a pita . . . . =( I discovered this place during my trip out here for work. I went in to order a pita and as the girl at the counter was making it, a guy walks in and she gets really excited. They chat about their plans for the night because apparently he was going laser tagging, but she has to work until 10:30pm. She abruptly has to kill the conversation to finish my order. Pitas should never stand in the way of love. Like subway, but 100x better! White or wheat pita Meat: spicy chicken, beef, falafel, badger special!!!! (potatoes, bacon, cheese, jalapeños, oinions, green peppers,nspicy sauce) and a bunch of other choices. Add ons: everything and anything: spinach, romaine, alfalfa, tomato, hummus, olives, taziki, pickles, onions, pepperoncinis, cheddar cheese, feta cheese, etc. 9 diff sauces: mayo, sour cream, spicy chipotle, ranch, etc. I hope I can find one in California . . . and not cock-block.

The Dirty Badger (the local) is amazing! Great food and tons of options. You can also get any pita as a salad.

For a fast food joint this place is great! The have tasty falafel which is really hard to find in this town. This place is really similar to subway in that you order your meal and then watch as they make it and tell them what you want in it. It is better than subway because there are more options for what to add into it as far as cheese, veggies, and sauces go. You also get a lot more food for your money and they have way more options for vegetarians. You can get either a wrap or a pita. I left full and satisfied. The people working there were very friendly and courteous.

It's funny another reviewer related it to Subway which is also how I describe it to others. I'm inclined to like it more than Subway as the vegetarian options for protein and vegetables are amazing. It has a lot of choices from jalapenos to onions to alfalfa sprouts. It's also open late past bar time and has a pretty comfortable atmosphere inside with TV's and a friendly staff. I'd recommend it to anyone!

We enjoyed great service from the college women working on a Saturday. They explained the options and made some great suggestions. Enjoyed watching the Badgers demolish Indiana on the big flat screen TV.

This is a great little sandwich and salad store all rolled into one. (Pun intended.) You can get a meat or vegetarian sandwich and all the salad fixings; all rolled into white or wheat pita or as huge filling salad. The ingredients are fresh, the staff friendly and they have a lot of good veggies to choose from. I get mine to go, but you can sit at one of their small number of tables if you like. And a plus, I can always get extra napkins of a fresh baked cookie.

Have only been here once, after the Mifflin Street Block party, so yes, I was pretty intoxicated. And I remember my pita being amazing. It's nice having a fast-food, pita place. I usually prefer local eateries over chains but this is an exception. Reminds me of a Subway for Gyros.

I was strolling down State St., a painful churning and grumbling in my stomach constantly reminding me of my pitiful human need for food. Left and right, a plethora of variegated neon signs assaulting my vision. One in particular, a sign of green and red, immediately hosts my mind with fond memories of my childhood, huddled around a noble fir on Christmas morn. My gullet slowly shifting from an insatiable lust for nourishment, to a comforting feeling of warmth and fuzziness; I inexorably drift towards this glowing enigma. Still drunk with youthful splendor, I stumble in a haze towards my new objective. I reach out my hand, desperately grasping towards the threshold. I am instantly shaken to my senses as my fingers wrap around the could metal handle of the entryway. I lurch forward with all of my might and it swings open with surprising ease. Stepping forward, I am immediately accosted with a circus of smells and delicious temptations, and am practically blinded by the immeasurable choices lying before me. My senses overwhelmed, I struggle to discern the true motives of whoever constructed this establishment. The only thing I know for certain, is the screaming pain and longing my stomach expresses towards the spread before me. And it is in this stupor, that a sharply dressed gentleman finds me; helpless and hungry. The young lad regards me inquisitively, and is even curious as to my motivations inside this establishment. It is at this moment that I realize, all at once, in a flash of sobering realization, that this stoic form before me has offered to build me and my aching belly a vessel in which to sate our hunger. I graciously accept his kind gesture, and proceed to point and grunt at the various offerings that strike my fancy. I am in awe at his practiced movements, and am brought close to tears at the beauty of his creation. And finally, when the masterpiece was deemed complete, it left his hands, and entered mine. He calls himself Dan. A name befitting such a handsome fellow. I thanked him for everything he had done for me, and gave him paper currency as a token of our newly found friendship. My hand now brandished with this amalgamation of flavor, I set out into the night, renewed and beaming with vigor.

This place lost its appeal real fast. Big, greasy, fast food pitas were only good the first couple of times. It kind of grosses me out now, actually.
