![]() I did try the tzatziki sauce and the baba ganoush – both were only fine. We ordered the same thing and she is right on all accounts. I can only muster TWO FORKS for this disappointing addition to the Charleston food scene.Īctually I don’t really have too much to add to what Susan wrote. My stomach was growling loud enough to hear it over the phone calls I was trying to make at work by 3:30 that afternoon. I had 6 little chunks of pretend chicken and some unevenly allocated veggies on a very thin wheat pita along with a pretend fountain soda (no refill) for over $8. They have about a million different sauces, but since I like to choke things down dry, I’ll let Daniel tell you more about those.Īnd then there’s the price. It all looked okay except the romaine lettuce which appeared to be two weeks old. It’s as if Penn Station and Subway had a baby and they named it Pita Pit. There is a plethora of toppings to choose from. Plus I am afraid of all the eggs they serve there and worry someone might force me to eat one. People tell me First Watch chicken isn’t like that anymore but I was too tramautized to ever try it again. It reminded me of the first time I went to First Watch years ago and then immediately wrote them off. Daniel theorized that it might be dark meat. It was soft and rather spongy, as if I was eating chicken fat instead of meat. I just wish they had squirted it on better quality chicken. I paid $1.49 for a cup of bottled Diet Coke.īack to the food: whatever the secret is in that sauce, it’s delicious. And the situation wasn’t resolved during our visit, so we did not get refills. One of the employees brought out a 2-liter and filled our drinks at our table, but that’s not the same as a crispy fountain soda. Speaking of the fountain drink, the carbonation was completely absent. I would have liked something to put my sandwich on so I didn’t have to constantly hold it upright. If you get it for “later”, they put your completely wrapped pita in a plastic bag with a napkin. They handed me a pita wrapped in paper with the top part torn off so it was ready for eating, but I didn’t know quite how to juggle it while I was trying to get my fountain drink filled and grab a lid, straw and extra napkins. I answered the “now or later” question with “now” and won’t do that again. ![]() By utilizing the nutrition calculator on the Pita Pit website, I determined (after the fact) that my pita contained 377 calories. It is pretty loud in there and I had trouble hearing all the questions I had to answer: what is your order? what type of pita? what toppings? now or later? I chose a wheat pita with the chicken cooked on the grilltop with the “secret sauce”, lettuce, spinach, green peppers and tomatoes. I knew it would fall short of the delicious Aladdin gyro but nothing else was appealing to me. I went with the chicken souvlaki – a sort of chicken gyro – since I have had the Aladdin craving so badly lately. But there are some good ol’ American choices, too like turkey, ham & swiss and buffalo chicken. The menu has a Mediterranean slant: gyro, hummus, baba ganoush, falafel, feta, etc. I know what you are thinking: it depends on the stranger. Not unless you want a view of a stranger’s butt while you try to eat. As a result, you probably don’t want to sit at the row of tables on the right side of the restaurant past the door. There are lots of tables inside but the line to order your pita stretched all the way to the door and didn’t let up during the time we were present. The place has only been open about a week and still has the strange “new furnishings” smell. As you may be guessing, I whined about his choice. Knowing that it would be a very long lunch with such a big crowd, we passed.) I am not a fan of the wrap and I was worried that these pita sammies would be a lot like a wrap. We tried to go one day last week and the parking lot was filled almost to capacity. (Side note: I will get my Aladdin fix sometime this week. I really wanted to eat at Aladdin but we think they are closed on Mondays. Daniel talked me into trying the brand new Pita Pit in Kanawha City today for lunch.
