Pita Pit

I often come to this location when I’m not feeling anything else or when I’m looking for a healthier option. It’s close to campus and accessible by any means of transportation. I LOVE that they have all day breakfast options, which I usually get. Their BBQ rib pitas are excellent too. Nonetheless, they have a variety of options for all sorts of palates.
The staff there are always friendly; they make conversation with you and are polite. The best thing though is that they know how to fold a pita. I don’t know what it is about the training at Pita Pits, but at all the locations I’ve been too, they have this magical ability to fold the pita so that 1) nothing falls out from the ends and 2) you get all the ingredients in every bite. It’s so disappointing when you take a bite from a pita and it’s all lettuce. I might as well just give up. Suffice it to say, Pita Pit is my go-​to location for pitas.

Located in dozens of cities, in 8 different Canadian provinces, and in multiple cities all over The United States of America, The Pita Pit is a healthy alternative to burgers, fries, and greasy food in general.
My local Pita Pit (when I am at home in Hamilton that is) is minutes from McMaster University and because it is open very late, it is a hot spot for late night partiers and/​or students who are looking for some great food after the bar and before they head home to finally crash.
The atmosphere is fun and friendly, with music playing in the background while the young staff sing and strike up conversation with the customers. The décor it bright and silly with characters made from the basic ingredients (bacon, mushroom, cheese and tomatoes just to name a few with cartoon faces) I recommend checking out the website for exactly what I mean. They are very amusing! At this particular location there is also McMaster Sports images. Also, there is a basket ball net at the cash register to try your luck at winning a free drink or additional snack to your already yummy meal.
Ok, most importantly, the Pita! My goodness, they are amazing! It seems pretty simple, pick the pita you want and the ingredients and eat. But, NO! You can choose from 22 different pitas (15 carnivore selections, 7 veg.). Next, you have to somehow choose between a surplus of fillers ranging from 2 types of lettuce, 3 cheeses, sprouts, pineapple and all the best fresh vegetable and way too many sauces. Then you have to decide if you need a drink or snack. Oh and if for some reason you don’t even want a pita you have a choice of salads or the soup du jour.
No matter your choice or how big or small the pita ends up, you will be in heaven eating your health fast food meal. Eat in or take away, you just can’t beat the pitas at The Pita Pit.
